Some good points but you may underarm Cumming, impressive young talent

Wasn't underselling Cumming, I made no comment - looks a likely type, but he's pretty unproven still....

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Looking alright....

His mistakes infuriate me because he is a very good kick and he goes for some lazy kicks across the body or off a step and they are always inside our defensive 50. It's lairy and unnecessary. They are just goal giveaways.

I believe I was the first one on this board to scan opposition lists and identify Newman as a cheap trade option several months before we got him. I do recognise errors in players I have backed in though. I recognise he is not quick, not an aerialist, doesn't play short or tall. His kicking and experience are his best traits.

At the moment, he is handy. Long term, he is a placeholder.

I see it differently. I don't think we need to look to upgrade him to get better. He is good enough to be part of our Premiership side.

He has a good balance of defence and attack.

I think his sideways kicks tend to result in opening up the field and would have a license to do it. Don't think it's lazy

across

Lol. At first glance I didn't recognize Cots there.
I seriously thought Walsh was admiring an indigenous fella with a bit of a top Knot doing a ceremonial thing.

Anyone know if all the emergencies travelled to Sydney?

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Cloudy, with a chance of snags...
Pretty sure.

 

[RedFury]

Don't mind the changes but Boyd feels very unlucky.

Additionally I'm a bit nervous about having 3 small forwards who are all so young and inexperienced. Would have rather seen Motlop for Owies and reward Paddy Dow

with a game rotating between mid and half forward with Matt Kennedy. Then Cripps to play forward more and rely on our talented mids to kick a few more sausages.

But what do I know. Hopefully they prove me dead wrong. Go blues!

Edit: sorry wrong thread! Thank you mods for moving.

Yeah nah, not when you are kicking across goal to a teammate inside our defensive 50 when the opposition have already spread. Dead set, when he didn't last week, there was no open side on the agenda.

Credit where it is due and criticism when it is due. Poor 1st quarter last week, good 2nd half.

4th vs 15th and somehow were not favourites to win wtf lol.

We’ve never beaten them there … the only thing that holds GWS back is they’re lazy … but when they have something to play for they usually lift … they really should win … let’s see if we can flip the script …

to miss through illness.

Fellow forward Jake Riccardi has been brought in to replace Hogan. The 22-year-old is coming off an eleven-goal fortnight in the reserves, including a nine-goal outing last week.

 

[Benaly28]

Hogan a big out.

Not that hard to believe. At their home ground, Leon Cameron farewell which Ward has already said they want to get lift for and we are missing lots of players.

Nice. Though Riccardi is a decent replacement. I'm hoping we can poach him end of year.

 

[WalshYouLegend]

I seem to be the only person who thinks Newman makes terrific decisions and is generally great disposal.

His mistakes don't infuriate me any more than any other player. Every player has them and he doesn't do it any more than others.

Defensively and positioning very strong.

Unheralded IMO

If by terrific decisions you are referring to his taste in fine wine, then yes sir, I completely concur.

No, on a more serious note, I think he's generally pretty serviceable for us.

 

[RedFury]

Yep the guy kicked 9 last week and still couldn't make the team without an injury occurring! That's gotta be prime poaching material.

The statistics of departing coach team wins are overwhelming. The bookies know this well.

Also us losing our CHF and CHB, replacing them with inexperienced players, I think the odds are against us a bit.

Which would make winning up there all the more special.

Looks like a cool front moving in.

 

[Red_man2008]

Flynn and hogan out definitely helps us considering we’ve lost McKay and Lewis.

Odds should nearly swing in our favour.

 

[Doro]

See if he can perform against AFL quality opposition this time around. That's been his issue so far, other than his first couple of games.

Honestly, if we can get over the line against a team that has traditionally dominated us, on their home turf, in their coach's farewell game, with lots of key injuries, after winning our last 2 weeks (in previous years we get complacent) then I'm just about ready to declare that we've arrived.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Correct me if I am wrong but Olympic Park, or the Showgrounds is at Homebush, really only half way between the CBD and Parramatta proper....

Next door to Concord, Concord West etc..only about 10 clicks or so out of the CBD?

Correct and Sydney hasn't been dry since january....
