Sorry I haven't read the thread ... but I think we have found a good one in Cooper Lord. Looked composed and capable under plenty of heat.

This has bugged me all year. Not sure what the perceived advantage is. Sure they occupy a bit of space but it releases 'time and space' pressure on the kicker and concedes unnecessary ground. Interesting that Daniel O'Keefe was encouraging his players to do it at 3/4 time in the VFL and he...

I've been thinking the same for the last few weeks. I know and admire his strengths. With enough space and time he can be a weapon. But his contest work and composure under pressure is woeful, and I can't help but feel he might be a liability under finals pressure.

100%! He (Jordan Lewis) disputes free kicks awarded to Carlton and makes a case for opposition frees that aren't paid.

Silvagni probably goes back in that case and Motlop forward.

Serious question: Which hand is supposed to have touched the ball - his left or his right?

Noticed that LOB was playing on the 'right footers' wing last night - at least for part of the game (haven't yet watched the replay). Wondered whether it was to encourage (force) him to get more comfortable on his non-preferred? Or perhaps to encourage him to turn inboard for a more attacking...

You can only do what your opposition allows you to, but I loved how we switched gears a few times last night and worked the ball, with patience, back and forth across half back until something we liked opened up in the middle of the ground - a pinpoint pass to open them up and we were off and...

Club write-up said Willo played a new role but didn't say what. I assume wing as he was named there but based on this thread he doesn't seem to have had much impact. What's the future for this young man who showed so much promise early?

Yeah I agree. I reckon half the team looked like they were not well yesterday. An explicable lack of energy from much of the team, particularly the midfield. Kennedy was nothing like the player we have seen for the first 3 weeks - couldn't pick up the ball cleanly at all and marks were just...

I don't enjoy criticizing young players but LOB does seem to have a fundamental weakness around physical contact. He is obviously well suited to the outside receiver role he played yesterday but he is so frustrating. Any tackle or contact, no matter how weak, is enough to dispossess him -...

Honey was there. I believe that is him behind Kemp on the running track. (image from Voss intro video)

^^^^

I think it is a 'freebee' on Kayo. Just need to set up an account and you can watch it (without subscription)

So frustrated by Pittonet's ruck work the last two weeks but especially this week. So many times got a clean tap but almost every time to Dogs advantage. There seems to be no connection with his midfielders. The only time he was effective was when he grabbed it out of the ruck himself against...

Just got text msg link.

Out of curiosity ... my surname starts with W so I am used to being at the back of the queue - any others still waiting for the link at the arse end of the alphabet. Or I guess more usefully has anyone with a late surname received their link?

Good Morning. Are any others still waiting on an email? I received the David McKay email last night but still no link. A little concerned now.

100%. Thought the run of Dalton and Walker were our biggest point of difference last year. Real line breakers both of them. Hopefully Walker back in soon. And clearly Davies was a huge loss.

Who's "Killer"?

What's that??

I'm excited by the prospect of Willo being pushed up to a wing with Saad inclusion. I think that is his spot.

Any thoughts on this young Giant out of contract ... From theroar ... Xavier O’Halloran – Highly-touted, but just hasn’t been able to break into the ultra-talented Giants lineup and will likely seek a move for more opportunity. Contract expiring, not a free agent. From Giants player profile...

JSOS injury has helped him as well. Lucky to be in the side.

A Collingwood mate says Grundy has an issue and can't get off the ground at centre bounces. Still going ok at boundary throw ins where he can muscle up. I reckon he might be in for a tough day with TDK jumping all over him and Pitto ruffling his feathers like he did in the pre-season. Hope so...

That the umpire guessed is a fair assumption given that he was positioned directly behind Harry and got it completely wrong. The alternative is that he is a cheating prick, but I don't subscribe to that view.

100% The free was given for high contact which was a guess by the umpire. The replay showed no head contact and yet that moron Ling comments "clear free kick"!

Last weeks thread was so negative and this weeks is so positive. Its a fine line between pleasure and pain. In both games we were the better side for 3 quarters and got smashed in one quarter. Sure the quality of the opposition matters but who knows where Melbourne sit at the moment. If last...

I notice this a lot with a number of our midfielders. It drives me insane. If they are beaten to the ball or lose a contest, they do not bother to chase hard or apply pressure. They seem to assume that the ball will quickly be flicked on to another player before they can have an impact so...
