Review Round 16 2021 - Melbourne v GWS Giants, 1.45 pm @ MCG, Sat 3 July

[Colonial]

Cogs 16 disposals 11 tackles
Hogan 0.2

I’d leave them there for another week and just play Taylor

Watching the video interview of Cogs he looked wrecked on limited minutes. I took from what he said that he will be there for a couple more weeks yet.

^ Yep, he seemed to be saying his comeback would take some time

Great win yesterday, just hitting form at the right time. As compared to my mob who are falling off a cliff.
Green is going to be great player, why was he dropped last week?

He had a few quiet games is the only thing I can tell.
But he seems to be taking it in his stride and coming back better than ever.

Cogs and Hogan another week in the twos. Slammin Sammy back in next week. Good to XOH putting in consistent performances. Puts pressure on our kids.

Most GWS fans don't agree with the decision to drop him, but to be fair to the match committee, he'd had 3 quiet games either side of the bye. From the 4 previous rounds with possessions in the 20s, he'd dropped to 15, 18 & 11 (the last in the Carlton win), and to the eye, he certainly wasn't as involved or influential in those games. So, a quick freshen up in the easier VFL comp, and get the hunger back - it did work for the Demons game, where he was great. Always a fine balance with younger players of opportunity, development & giving a break. He's a gun kid, that's for sure.

Those people who were advocating we should’ve picked up Witherden… he is not an AFL standard footballer. He’s not even a good kick.

Yeah as did I

I’d love to know how much of the game he played

Well, it's easy to look s**t when your whole team is playing s**t, if you're looking at him today. His overall stats are better than today shows.

But given how well Cumming has played this year, certainly no need for Witherden after all. Cumming has speed, accurate kicking, and can take an intercept mark. He's certainly worked out far better than I thought he would.

Mummy likes to get around with the shirt off ... but geez he’s in good nick for an old bloke
