is an unbelievably tough listen... anything he says is frustrating, i guess that's what he aims for...

 

[Sam The Doc]

My concern is Blicavs getting away from TDK around the ground as an extra midfielder, TDK exposes bigger slower ruckman usually, this will be a different challenge for him and our entire midfield group remembering they had us for speed last time.

As someone pointed out earlier, he wont be stopping cripps then, so can't stop all of us.

 

[Mezzoculo]

Yep

Looks like it will him and SDK

Hmmm. Unless there's a late change then it means Blitz won't run with cripps.

 

[AT97]

Why

Perhaps they want him to play a full game…rather than be the sub again.

I just hear a whiff of arrogance every time he speaks

That's a good point.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Yep, didn't get enough of it but used it well when he got it and was probably involved in scoring chains as a result. Fantasia's one wood was pace as he's never been a physical player. His pace is gone, doesn't appear to apply much pressure and is yet to kick a goal this season. I'd rather keep investing in a young fella who has shown some good glimpses at times this year.

You might need to go back and check your stats source regarding goals. Hasn't set the world on fire with 2 goals 6 but has generated 8 shots and given away a few he could easily have kicked himself. I suspect that he has been doing the defensive things that Vossy wants him to.

 

[CFC_#17]

Can someone tell me what does Fantasia do to always get selected?

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Have they only got Blicavs as one ruck for the whole game?

Stanley is out injured. But strangely named as a emergency

You are correct sir. My apologies. Can't recall him kicking any, my bad. You'd have to agree though he has not set the world on fire.

I'm doing a Mike Gibson there. We are agreed.

Haha that must be an error and meant to be neale

 

[Hands On]

Fantasia again. Geez.

Masterstroke by Vossy. Fanta will be putting a hard TAG on dnager.

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

I just hear a whiff of arrogance every time he speaks

"I was carried by a good team to a premiership so I'm really smart. You must listen to the drivel I say"

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Good.

 

[bigblueboy]

I really rate Bruhn as a rapidly improving midfielder. A big out for the Cats.
Stanley is little more than a warm body these days - no big loss - but fascinating that the Cats are comfortable without a recognised ruck given TDK’s presence in centre bounces.
O’Connor will go to Cripps which is a win for us.
Cincotta to Stewart, Holmes, Miers or Stengle. All worth a lock down IMO.
Like our team but very wary of the Cats off a reset.

That criticism of Scott would have been valid a few years ago but not anymore. I think hes a bit of an arrogant flog too but the man can coach.

 

[Kruezing]

If Touhy gets off the leash again and starts fist pumping the faithful I’m gonna lose it

 

[Aphrodite]

 

[Opium]

Bruhn out for them is a big loss.

 

[Kruezing]

Bruhn out for them is a big loss.

They have an injury list of two they have no excuses

With Bruhn out I would send Cinc to Holmes. Without Guthrie their midfield is thin.

 

[norway blue]

I think it's a bit of an archaic mindset to consider Player A is lockdown and Player B is intercept.

It's all about team defence now. You can get away with one anchor defender who lacks a bit of mobility (for us that's Weiters), but around that player you need a mix of athletic guys who can do a bit of everything. One play Kemp might need to come third man up over Hawkins, the next he might need to trail Cameron up the ground, and the next he might have to pick up Dangerfield when he drifts forward.

Kemp's greatest strength at the moment is his versatility. His biggest weakness is that he's played only 34 games and is still developing his craft. He got outbodied or outpositioned by Langford the other week? Might have something to do with Langford having 4 years and 100+ games on him...

Invest the time now and in 4-5 years Kemp is going to be towelling up less experienced forwards and creating a heap of drive off half back for us.

Or in the middle driving us forward imo.
