Good point you make, except don’t know where you got those height numbers from for the Sydney forwards.
Amartey is 197cm, McLean is 198cm and McDonald is 197cm. All three of them are very tall, physical players, with a long reach. I couldn’t agree more that our whole team played shit, but they...
Agreed it is about system, however Brisbane have 2 tall good defenders in Andrews and Payne. They weren't undersized like us at all. However it really didn't matter in the end, as their midfield slaughtered Sydney's.
McDonald, McLean and Amartey. I know not technically 200cm, but pretty much. All bigger than our 2 key defenders.
There was times we had Logan Evans on one of them, meanwhile Esava was up forward doing absolutely nothing. Our midfield didn't do great, but our defence was horrendous. Bergman had...
Problem is, that back 6 gets destroyed by the teams with multiple tall 200cm forwards. Sydney for example, has 3 of them and made a mockery of our defence in the prelim. Aliir, BZT and Bergman are all undersized. We may not like it, but Esava is absolutely going to have to play back for a fair...
I just love how he is still considered "polarizing"....
Just because he requested a trade away from a Melbourne club, a couple years ago now, like so many others do every year. But nah, let's continue to single him out. The guy literally is a superstar player who does nothing at all to warrant...
Oh god, heaven forbid a player celebrates with his teammates. Damn, the guy should have known that 8 years down the track he was going to play for the Power and not react at all. Give him a break lmao.
Not really. Still have Finlayson, Lord, Esava, 2nd ruck in Soldo / Dante who would probably all still be ahead of him in that 3rd forward role.
He is too raw and doubt he plays any games this year in the AFL.
Horrible for Marshall.
The one positive is we are heavily stocked in replacements. His spot wasn't even guaranteed either. This is the opportunity for either Lord to step up, or Finlayson takes the spot (which fixes the 2nd ruck issue), or Whitlock is fast tracked. Always have the option of...
The only way he gets sacked is if the media actually turn on him. It is the only way it happens these days, across all sports around the world. Until that happens, he will remain in the position.
Other than SPP, DBJ and Richards. As well as finding a spot in the team for Mead and the resting JHF / Rozee. Berry is behind all of them. He will get games at some point, but absolutely not guaranteed a spot round 1.
When you are a massive turnover merchant like Durrsma, not surprised he was used as a decoy.
Amon most certainly wasn’t used as a decoy, so that comment from him just sounds like he is bitter.
One big thing is we will finally have all our key forwards who are great set shots at goal. Luko, MG and Marshall.
It is something about the Crows, they can be playing terribly with low I50's, but stay in games because Tex and Fogarty rarely miss.
Last season we finished with a starting forward line of:
DBJ - Dixon - Rioli
Mead - MG - Esava
With Narkle, McEntee, Evans coming off the bench / Sub.
Now we have a forward line to start the season with:
Richards - Marshall - Rioli
SPP - Luko - MG
With DBJ, Mead
and Berry coming off the...
Why do you keep putting Atkins in the AFL side? He will not be playing in the side round 1 ahead of any of Lorenz, Berry, Marshall, Burton, Sinn, Mead.
God I hope Dylan Williams puts in the hard yards this preseason. He has far too much natural football talent to just fadeaway and not succeed. Would be such a waste.
Pretty simple really.
Richards, Luko, Rioli
SPP, Marshall, MG
DBJ bench
Marshall, Lord, Finlayson interchangeable pending Marshall's health and the form of the other 2.
Esava never spends time in the forward line again. If either of Lord or Finlayson are not in the team, I wouldn't be...
Oh its definitely there still haha. I just read this and went and checked Kayo on the replay. I cant believe it lasted a good minute or so before they changed it haha. What a joke of a league, but god that is funny.
It was once. Late in the year when the trade rumors were out. Whether you like it or not, the club see's him as the #1. He had a great 2023 and come 2024 Hardwick started throwing him all around the ground because they have King and brought in their gun academy monster in Jed Walters.
He is...
