Don't mind thatIN: Miles, Powell, King, Young
OUT: Lukosius, Holman, GHS, Joyce
Yeah. Its gonna be tough, that's for sure. Just got to make sure they compete til the very end.I don’t think we’re hard enough at the contest like port and Geelong have been to win.. the pressure on the ball carrier and contest and then the follow up from geelong today was solid
I think we are great at the contest, where we fall is any sort of skill execution. Our kicking is atrocious, Joyce couldn't hit any sort of target by foot against Brisbane, and had no awareness. GHS missed a 4m handball by 2m. Need the likes of Weller and Powell back in who can hit a target and have good skills. Being able to hit a 20m kick to a target on the lead should be bread and butter.I don’t think we’re hard enough at the contest like port and Geelong have been to win.. the pressure on the ball carrier and contest and then the follow up from geelong today was solid

Joyce had better disposal efficiency than half the team. (literally)I think we are great at the contest, where we fall is any sort of skill execution.

Yeah, I may have said Joyce because he usually can thread the eye of a needle so his mistakes must have been more jarring to me.Joyce had better disposal efficiency than half the team. (literally)
Does Miles come into the backline for Joyce or are Bowes/Fiorini going to play out of defense?In: Powell, Miles, Young
Out:Holman, Joyce, GHS
I'd rotate Miles through the backline and midfield. Even rotate some of the mids and Martin down there.Does Miles come into the backline for Joyce or are Bowes/Fiorini going to play out of defense?
Also is Schoenfeld fit, McLennan ready?Does Miles come into the backline for Joyce or are Bowes/Fiorini going to play out of defense?
Lukosius hasn't got the full toolset at this stage for AFLI replace Joyce with lukosius. Let him learn a bit on defence and distribute the ball from HB or quarter back like Hodge and Caleb Daniel .
That is the reason I put him at HB , he need to learn from Darling and Kennedy what is required in AFL as a forward . You can't avoid contact as a HB .Wright body works are just as bad easily get push off.Lukosius hasn't got the full toolset at this stage for AFL
One thing he can learn at NEAFL level is how to protect your body and tackle and avoid the big bodies
When he gets in the clear he's ok but the 3 times I've seen him live he appears to be avoiding contact- at this stage
It's interesting when you compare him to Rozee who seems to have a real hunger to be where the ball and the action is
Ben King is committing to the contest from what I've seen in NEAFL
Hitting packs running angles across traffic.
Seems more confident than Luko just at the moment
We don't want to kill him thoughThat is the reason I put him at HB , he need to learn from Darling and Kennedy what is required in AFL as a forward . You can't avoid contact as a HB .
Fair enough. We have seen Bowes, Fiorini, Miller and Martin placed behind play before - all could play Joyce's role on a good day. Although fwiw I think with our midfield inexperience taking Miller out of our centre clearances is a poor decision.I'd rotate Miles through the backline and midfield. Even rotate some of the mids and Martin down there.
