i hope not ..although im not sure who would make way
Carroll going nicely atm.
They set up every contest with free players on the attacking side, looked great when they won the contest and caught us napping a few times in the first half.
Would look better if they ever become a dominant clearance team.
North have done some odd list management though, they have 8 genuine midfielders, some flankers and 1 key forward.
Surely end of season Phillips and a few others are traded to look for keys?
3 zip hey.
Lean back, roll a 3 paper, crack a stubbie, give the groin an outside rub, let Def Leppard have a random go on Spotify
All is good, humans.
I don't care what their GPS numbers are or how they defend space, but we seriously have one of the worst quartet of crumbing small fwds in the competition
This is easily the biggest flaw in our game
Solid win against inferior opposition
Reset for Freo next week
100% agree. I made the same comment to a mate of mine who was saying they’ll be a force in 3-4 year. Its a horribly unbalanced squad. They needed to keep Ben McKay rather than getting another midfielder. They have no key defenders and are still need another key forward. If possible we should try and pinch Will Phillips on the cheap at the end of the year.
Beautiful clean hands when a few others were fumbling, and takes great options. Finds a team-mate in a better position, time after time after time - it is a joy to watch.
But the thing I love most about Fogarty is that he plays with 100% intensity, 100% of the time. I think this really matters because we still have a lot of players who drift in and out of games, or who aren't necessarily switched on at the opening bounce. I thought we were a bit off for the first 5-10 minutes, and efforts from Fogarty and Boyd, just halving contests and winning contested balls, were really important in getting us rolling before North could get out to a lead that could have kept them in the game.
They will have to go hard for KPPs for a while, ideally bring some good ones in who are 21-22 otherwise they will never marry up with their mids. Otherwise they end up like us 09-13 with a good midfield and cobbled together KPPs.
Isn't Logan from Perth ?Poor North fans, shocking list management over the last several years.
They kept going for mids and now they have too many young mids and almost no key talls or defenders...horribly imbalanced.
Obvious one that stands out is picking Will Phillips over Logan McDonald. Sure, McDonald probably wouldn't be as good as he is right now if he went to North, but point still remains they had a top Vic key forward prospect there for the taking and yet they went for a mid. I remember at the time it was seen as quite a surprise and so far it's backfired big time.
E Hollands looked awful early and i thought what has everyone else seen in him,glad to be proved wrong.

Scoring power from small forwards is definitely not a strength of ours.I don't care what their GPS numbers are or how they defend space, but we seriously have one of the worst quartet of crumbing small fwds in the competition

Kennedy brings real hardness to the side. He won't be getting dropped if he keeps playing like he did today.
How many 7 disposal players can you carry in one side? He might be doing his 'role' but he's never going to be a popular player at that rate.But he only had 7 disposals. According to some that's all that matters. Fortunately they are in the very vocal minority.

Just finished watching replay. TDK looking good in the ruck. Mackay looks like he is in for an awesome year.
Something about the way EElijah Hollands... wow. What a game. OK it's only against North but for a high half forward in our system to get 22 possessions - that just basically never happens.
But then he's also gone at 86% efficiency / 6 inside 50s / 8 score involvements / 5 tackles / 3 clearances.
Just brilliant. Hope he can back it up against better opponents but that is a hell of a start first up.
Ollie slight dampener still struggling to get involved a bit.
Elijah and having Zac back look to be a real pluses but the biggest difference to last season without doubt is Harry's goal kicking. Early days but he just looks like he could win the Coleman. If he doesn't get 10 coaches votes I'll be shocked which makes 2 out of 3 games and he had 3 votes in the other game. He could have kicked 10 today.
North supporters sooked it up but when you go into a game with midget key defenders against Charlie + Harry they're going to give away frees.
Owies 3 goals. Undroppable. Durdin 2 but only the 4 touches. Fogarty undroppable.
I'd assume Motlop and Walsh come straight back in for Durdin + Carroll - neither of whom disgraced themselves and Kemp for Marchy. The unluckiest footballer I've seen in a while.
