Ha.
We'll see.
Storms look north over the Hunter for development.
Heaviest rain looks south of Kiama.
Anyways.
Looking forward to this game.

Shame the games wasn’t on today, great day for it.
My kids soccer has been moved to a synthetic pitch on Sunday, so the weekends weather isn’t looking good.
He does not. 2 goals from six games. He isn't particularly doing anything.
Essentially Corey Warner debuting as a teenager matched or bettered Cunningham in every area, while playing only 57 percent of game time.
However, out of form Cunningham is still better than Clarke. but neither are producing anymore than a second year player did in their first match
Yeah sunday looks nasty.
Though those synthetic pitches are epic.
Can't disagree with this as our midfield have the size and body strength of our Under 15 Academy Team.
If the ball is not hit to advantage at centre bounces though He has the dexterity of King Kong Bundy on Skates.
Having said that if we were one point up with 20 seconds to go and the last centre bounce of the game is going to decide the game I'm tipping a Parker mongrel kick going inside 50 such is his warrior type never say die qualities. Its a hard one.
Both Clarke and Cunningham are effectively playing as a backman in the forward line. Although kicking goals would be a good result for them, they are judged internally on what their opponent does, and their job is first and foremost to stop their opponent getting the ball. To compare that to a wingman whose job it is to get the ball isn't really fair.
Now, if they are not doing their defensive jobs on their opponent, that is another story but it isn't this particular argument.

I think it is perfectly reasonable to speculate on the positioning of the 22. It is not toxic.
I don't think anyone supported playing Mills on Hawkins last week. Most wanted him starting CBs in the mids at the very least even if he ran down back to help cover in defence. For me it was chucking in the white towel before the game started. I know that was not the intent of the Coaching Box move.
Parker has not been his usual commanding figure in the mids. Jury is out on whether this is a form or tactical issue. I don't think he is cooked and he showed he could adapt to and lead the game style adopted in recent years. Luke has many strings to his bow and can play successfully on the forward line. I hope he spends some time there. He would also use his voice to ensure the forwards are well organised
Surely the message this week is winning the contest and laying our hands on the footy, rather than setting up to tackle a la Rowbottom on the assumption the Oppo will win possession.

Somewhere in the middle would be nice.
Why ? Why ? Why ? Because all of a sudden you as a mere mortal are not allowed to have different opinions to the plethora of football oracles we are blessed with on this Board. I can be a ranter in the heat of battle but I am also a reader of other's posts and try and digest as best I can.
Is Readers Digest still around?!?
I don't. Grand Kids have me logging on to watch Go Dog Go !
Wings still have opponents. On output, Clarke and Cunningham aren't effectively doing anything. Playing a forward who is actually capable of scoreboard impact and can actually do something with the footy can overwhelm or worry defenses. Playing forward taggers to get in an opponents way is just reducing our own potency to maybe impact an opponents rebound. What about trying to kick goals.
I will ignore that at the risk of exposing my seniority.
I'm not disputing that, I'm just saying that we can't compare them to other players who have completely different roles.
I thought you had yourself on ignore?

Or politely inquired your better half, Mrs Cousin, is going.
That's pedantry. The biggest whinge people are having is pushing Mills back because all 3 of our KPDs were injured. Pretty 'massive' in terms of impact.the same coach who has been flogged in finalsmultiple times
Our injury list isn't massive by the way
And others just want to continually blow the list up, "get games into the kids" and sack Horse 4 years ago. People were having a right sook after the Suns loss last year and we went on to make the GF.
But kick 6 in the first quarter against the Giants and the same posters will be awfully quiet.

Playing Mills back is one thing, setting up to fail on a bloke a 20 kg heavier is another option entirely . Minus Mills in the middle helped re entries. However unpalatable there were options, Gould or Francis. Of course they would have been beaten but having Mills at CBAs would have helped cut supply to Porkins and given our forwards more of a sniff.
Yes I know Mills was moved later but I reckon losing repeated body contests against a wheat silo knocked the stuffing out of him.

I feel like we all just need to give each other a bit more credit on here and respect that maybe we know what we're talking about a bit. For example I despise the "do you know better than the coaches?" rhetoric that gets bandied about on here quite a bit. We don't need to know more than the coaches to still be right about things. Coaches are obviously wrong. A lot. Even the best ones. Every successful role change or personnel change is a response to something that initially wasn't working and the coaches obviously weren't getting right. And usually before those moves were made, there was some random on the internet screaming at the clouds for those moves to be made being told they knew less than the coaches.
