Binns will add himself into that group at some stage in the next 12 months also.
All footballers first too.

So, we get beaten in the GF?
That first half from Walsh was as good as he's had. Hopefully nothing major. Hewett is finding some form at the right time. Other than injuries it was a good hit out. Gotta love Charlie when he's on.

great point!
Hollands will end up as a pure midfielder; he’s got enormous running capacity, but his tenacity and strength in the contest means he’s a brilliant two-way midfielder as opposed to the traditional wingman role he’s played in.

Love Dow, but it’s great to see Hewett back to his best, we need him . He plays before Dow. The more good players we have pushing , the better.

My post before that was in reply to a poster who said we need to win one of the Collingwood or Melbourne games to make finals. My post was simply showing that we don't and what's more we wouldn't need results to fall our way if we were to win just those three.
The reality is we need to win 3 of the last 5 to be a lock.
I si what you did there

I agree I would play Hewett before Dow as long as one of Cripps, Cerra or Kennedy are out injured however I don’t like the mix of those three and Hewett in the same side, I think it makes us very slow and I hated seeing Cerra and Kennedy spending time at halfback. If all our midfield is fit (which will never happen) I would have them both out of the team but feel Dow makes for a better sub than Hewett.
Charlies interview says it all about this team ethos.
Very low key and humble.
That maturity has gone right through our boys in a few short weeks since that fateful player gathering.

Dow played a Dow game, good in stoppage and congestion, occasionally poor disposal, average to poor defensive running, took his goal well.
Was really hoping he'd seize the opportunity but just got a pass for mine.

Started a post on the subject, but I think this branedotorg effort sums it up.
Someone defending Dow earlier stated he compares favourably to other clubs 6th/7th rated mid rotation, that sums it up nicely too.
I reckon he had earnt a chance for an extended crack back when we were in middle of our run of shit form, didn’t get a sustained opportunity - will be elsewhere next year - not losing sleep over it.
Duly noted!!

horry clover's 13 in 1921 still rates highly with me............
Probs because half the people who come in after a loss are actually from other teams being imposters just to stir the pot!

he's a grown man and 24 in october - gee, I've been harsh on him - I think I suggested he's not a clearance machine - what a brutal critic I turned out to be
when will I ever just quit bagging our players?Similar threads
