Wouldn’t t have thought it that bizarre, but ok
It's meant for players to take a breather because of that other thing, "training loads"
This guarding space business… can’t believe it has become a thing
But… but… but…. Trauma!
Nah, is a valid point imo. Had Braddles been a Vic lad then, basically every game he played in the SANFL, would have translated to VFL games. Got to bear in mind that state leagues were a lot stronger back then, nothing like what we see today in the VFL for example.
Some of the reasonings for some players roles/worth are so funny….
Owies kicks goals…yeah but what else does he do
Cottrell guards space….very important job
Owies, I find a really strange one. Other clubs would love to get their hands on him, yet he does not get so much love on here. He is our third highest goal kicker again this year, so you have to say, he is doing his job.Some of the reasonings for some players roles/worth are so funny….

I’d add McGovern, kicks well but how does he defend?Some of the reasonings for some players roles/worth are so funny….

We want to forgive some players no matter what, it's Gov's fault if someone else isn't doing the right thing....please.
He plays his role very well, if you're expecting him to be a lockdown defender then I'm sorry, he'll never meet your expectations. This is the problem with not having a second KPD. It shouldn't be on Gov or Kemp to play the role.
The funny thing is that if Owies weren't kicking goals and instead getting 15 touches people would be asking what the value was in a small forward who didn't kick goalsSome of the reasonings for some players roles/worth are so funny….

Yeah that’s true.
Yeah - I’m not having a dig at players….its more their roles given to them as you’ve pointed out…The funny thing is that if Owies weren't kicking goals and instead getting 15 touches people would be asking what the value was in a small forward who didn't kick goals
Guarding space is a thing, it prevents opposition from looking up and seeing a clear exit from our forward 50, I don't think that it's too difficult to understand.
These are roles given to players by the coaches, if they weren't performing their roles as per instruction they wouldn't be playing.
Footy has changed over the years, way back when none of this would have made much sense, but nowadays it's very different.
If you told me years ago that one day players would be kicking sideways and backwards more than straight down the line I would have laughed too.
Not asking Gov to be a lock down defender just a defender who is accountable for his opponent. Gov plays loose and slips over a lot, which puts pressure on the other defenders to cover. When Gov is on his feet and intercepting he looks great and is an asset.
Who is crucifying Kemp? He's still young, he's still learning his craft, regardless of those things I think that he is being asked to play a role that he just shouldn't be due to the lack of a better option.
Myfavorite thing.
The one on Georgiadis in the goal square last week was frightening before the ball was kicked that way...
Said this to a few mates the other day. Reckon the dogs and Freo only win maximum one final combined. And I reckon if we play either of them, we’ll winMyfavorite thing.
Overhyping of Doggies.
Every year.
Melbourne...playing like shite. But now it' all 'superstar doggies'
I say good.
Wind 'em up.
Can't wait til they get smashed in finals. Hopefully by Swans in Sydney or Brisbane at home. If it's against us at our best, that will be perfect.
You wont be fed if Marchbank is the waiter.
He's the soup broth.
