O’Keefe does seem like a more natural partner to TDK.

He does look very promising but at 19, I would rather they give him more time to build himself up in the reserves.

He is obviously in our long-term plans.

 

[Aphrodite]

Yeah Martin in particular is very good but he's hardly available for selection through injuries.

I think we need to trade in a proven third tall or small forward type.

Hence Haywood

Yeah he'd be a great get if we can.

Would slot in and fill a position of need perfectly.

Given that I didn't watch the Richmond-WC game, I'm watching a few minis. Had I the opportunity, I'd be getting into both Bolton and Rioli Jnr's ear and trying to cajole either to abandon Richmond and chase a bit of success. Bolton's the better credentialed player at present - and more...

I know people are really getting in on the “we only bomb it in” and “we are too Harry and Charlie focused” trains, but we are currently 5th in the league for goals per inside 50, 6th in points per game, and 3rd for scores per inside 50. And that’s with having played 2 of the stingiest defenses in the league this year in Brisbane and Freo. This would suggest somethings clearly working in this space?

We also played North, Adelaide and Richmond all bottom 6. You can fall in love with statistics all you like but the eye test and gut feel is way more accurate.

In what universe is gut feel accurate? Everyone’s gut feel is different, therefore it is by far the least accurate. Also, if stats are seemingly irrelevant, how come premiership teams have similar statistical profiles?

Hearing that Zac Williams will likely be a late out with soreness.

Would be devastating if true...no saad gov and williams...all of our drivers off half back.

 

[JustaBattler]

Even if he did struggle in his first game or 2 most do, Ollie is struggling to get a kick at all and provides no link up like Binnsy does. Game is getting softer and softer with game going closer and closer to touch footy... Binnsy would outnumber at contest after contest and then get it on the outside.... everyone thought jeffy garlett was too thin.....

As I said- we will see what he can do when he gets hos chance. Fact is no one knows until we know AFL is a totally different game than VFL.

What the heck !

My eye test for what it’s worth showed against Adelaide our entry’s where too shallow therefore our kicks where a lot harder.
Adelaide’s entry’s where a lot deeper and consequently had much easier shots on goal

Hope you’re wrong but we’ve eased to $1.84 from $1.80, GWS into $1.96 from $2, betting agencies have their sources..

 

[Revenant1965]

If Zach is out, guessing it'll be Cincotta in (and as sub).

Edit: And they can still win it with effort, intensity and system.

Id have cincotta playing regardlesss - more as a replacement for saad

It’s got to the point where you may as well laugh about it.

Can’t believe we’re favourites we should be $3 mimimum.

I wouldn't be suprised,he pulled up quite sore in one incident i noticed at the game. Was hobbling for a bit then ran it off.
Hopefully Zac's ok.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

You're shitting me?

It's not that surprising...

He was pulling up and limping after so many contests last week.

We can still win this

 

[Benaly28]

That’s our whole half back line out.

Probably the most important line on the field.

I'm not suggesting we blame someone/anyone in particular but our injury prevention team/department/practices needs a good review.

 

[JJBagger]

Big chance now for both Boyd and Cincotta to perform. Hopefully it’s a blessing in disguise in the long term

 

[JJBagger]

Except Williams has taken several big knocks the last few weeks, and is coming off several years of being injury prone. If anything, I’m surprised it took him this long to miss a game with soreness

 

[Sonny Jim]

What if that’s the plan though? Getting the ball in as deep as possible, then lock it in to generate scores. The problem with clearing out the space is it invites pressure through interceptions and turnover, and can make you look horrible going the other way. You can’t do both

It is the plan.
The problem is that it's the only plan and we rarely look to do anything else, even when we have space or one-on-one mismatches
