EUFA EURO 2024 - Group Stage ⚽ EPL 24/25 starts Aug 17
It'll be tough to find a spot for him forward with Curnow, McKay and Casboult.
ASOS didn't look too good. Looked severely incapacitated as he hobbled to the bench.What's the story with the injuries? The reports make it sound like two were just tightness and one was a knock?
Along with Williamson and Cuningham, this might not be as bad as first thought.
Still plenty of timeOn the bright side. No Lions supporter has come onto this thread to post about how we should win this match because their team aren't going well. It happened the past two weeks and look what happened.
Could this at least be a good omen?
Yes.If we lose this, have we really progressed as a club?
Yes.
Seen the emergence of Curnow as a forward target, a defence that actually knows what it is doing and seen great signs from other youngsters all of whom have impacted a match or two in a significant way this year. Took a big scalp in GWS, really should have beaten the ladder leading Crows and have only looked shithouse in two games (Richmond and Port games). The ladder may not really show it, but I've seen plenty of progress this year.
just stick Cas in the goal square and maybe we might win. He is a our best marker just stick in the 50
Turn a 1 or 2 goal game to a 4 goal game even if he has 10 shots at goalYeah he never misses from 10 metres out haha
Turn a 1 or 2 goal game to a 4 goal game even if he has 10 shots at goal
Um, yes.If we lose this, have we really progressed as a club?
We will honestly lose this.
cash in $$$
Rest of the season needs to be a bit more about development. Wins aren't everything at the moment.
Bring Pickett back in, Macreadie as well, Williamson a possible. Time for McKay to play. 4-5 games for him will be a benefit for 2018. Hope to see Polson and Kerr at some stage as well.
IMO Sumner Buckley & Boekhurst aren't up to it and at best Kerridge and Graham are depth.
Been impressed with JGM last 2 weeks. Hope it's not to late
I have no issue with them bringing back Macreadie, but leave him in for 2-3 weeks to get some continuity, otherwise just leave him to develop in the magoos. He's in that twilight zone where he's just that little bit too good for VFL, but not quite developed enough for AFL. Maybe chuck him on a wing where he can "see ball, get ball". He's more than quick enough. I'd much rather they invest games into Macreadie than waste them with Buckley, Sumner, etc.Dunno what to think about this one
Willo & Macreadie for ?
Henderson kicked 5 in 2014 against the Saints in NZ (from memory ).I was thinking this yesterday, when was the last time someone kicked a bag of 5 or more for us?
Re McKay 2 things Soapy V:
Have his last 3 games been better than his first 3 games this year???
Must admit I struggle with this and he's not going to get any better delivery at AFL level yet will still have to compete against far superior opposition.
Does he have enough core strength yet to hold his feet when the ball comes to ground after a marking contest???
From my own observations he still gets pushed over far too easily & ends up deck too much. His opponent will just run off him.
FWIW, I think McKay is still a minimum of another preseason away, if not 12 months. He rarely impacts a game for more than a quarter and then maybe another 10 minutes somewhere else. While he's played a couple of cameos in the ruck, he's yet to really develop a second position which means you can't use him anywhere else except the bench if things don't go to plan. I have no issue with playing McKay if he's ready, but its not as though he's ever been banging on the door by kicking 4-5 goals a week, which you need to be doing as a dedicated FF.
If Daisy doesn't get up. maybe we bring in Pickett to zip around the forward 50. we really need someone at the fall of the ball. Lamb is doing well as a high half forward.
Surely Harry or KJ for a run. we need another target up there. even CC was getting smashed by 2-3 defenders every time we 7ironed it into him.....
