Obviously we can’t get carried away with a 3 goal performance but it does show give a young player responsibility and opportunity and you will often be rewarded.
Personally I wouldn’t bring Tex back next week - run with the same forward line. Hopefully Fog gained some confidence from today and can back up with an even better performance next week

would've been good if we hit him up instead of trying to kick it to our midget star forward in Berry... I wasn't live so he might be levelled with the usual lazy accusations etc. but he certainly did the most with his opportunities today.
Key Forward starts showing their worth at the worst away game.

Geelong always like to play a loose defender. Imo we needed a 3rd tall forward.

SDK was on Thilthorpe and the -1 goal would have been touched if Fog didn't go for the mark.
Correct weight. Was at the game and Thilthorpe was rubbish in the air. We need to teach him better.
No doubt our selection committee will panic
I expect anyone over the age of 23 to get a game, but still hopeful they can kick to a leading forward
It wasn’t that at all
He gave us a reason to kick it to him
No one doubts he’s got some talent , that’s why I find him so frustrating
But if he does what he did today every week I’ll be a huge fan

Today Fogarty tried playing well. he should continue that strategy probably.
Nix is on record as wanting predictable and consistent entries. That way we’ve got the best chance of getting players there to force a stoppage.

I watched very little of the game, in fact I’ve seen little out of the 3 of the last 4 games, it’s been quite refreshing. But what you’ve described against Geelong is perhaps the dumbest coaching I’ve ever heard of. That’s one thing you don’t do against Geelong is free up their defenders.
It’s also shows a complete lack of trust in our players to win the contest, why the **** did we bring back Crouch for? That what he was supposed to be strong at.
Please tell me at some stage they worked it out and made the change.
But this is just another example of some coaches making shit decisions. Just because they are coaches doesn’t mean they don’t make dumb decisions and that’s why cheerleaders who like to back the club in no matter what have no place in commentating on football, use your brain and call out stupidity when you see it.

The sad thing is I don't think I'll ever know whether this kid is the wrong fit for modern footy, or just the wrong fit for the Adelaide football Club between 2018-2022.
Imagine if he played in a team that actually honours lead up forwards for the last 5 seasons. He'd probably be a 50 goal forward by now.

For anyone with a clue about football that's been watching him in the SANFL this year and watching his training over the past two years, you can see that he is putting in the hard yards to do what is needed to become a good forward. You can see he was sent back to work on second and repeat efforts and staying in the contest. About spending energy to the max in the moments that count and not wasting a dime when you don't need to.
For those that don't have goldfish memories this is actually what tex had to do to become a good forward as well.
The difference between average and very good is a lot of little things. He's had some to work on, still got some more. Some of it was about how his team mates hit him up too. Watching SANFL you can see they changed the way they did it over several weeks. Couldn't see it last week but this week we could see it very clearly in the AFL too.
Far from being a guaranteed good forward at the moment but approaching the lower limit of being able to be a serviceable ten year player. If he comes up to sit comfortably in the serviceable level I can live with that. He will be the Jenkins of Jenkins and Tex with Tilthorpe being the Tex.
All that said, he would go a lot better in a team that sets up an open forward line. Offers to go to clubs like that must be mighty tempting.

Watched him live yesterday. Easily our best taller forward prospect currently.
Can't let him go now.
He is our most natural tall forward aside from Tex. I think yesterday’s game gave us some answers - if forward entries are to Fog’s advantage then he can bring the goals. I think he is also linking up better coming up the field. Encouraging signs, but just need now to chain a few good games together, both for his sake as well as the team’s sake.
