Jones is very wasteful around goals. Misses far too many gettable goals.

 

[Mojorisin]

Spicer perhaps playing himself out lately

I'd prefer neither. We really need to be looking at a 19 year old

Score please, I’m in NZ on holiday.

39-8 our way nearing on half time

 

[St 07]

Collingwood

He'll kick two to win them a prelim and we'll say he isnt what we are looking for

 

[Fossie 32]

Come on Johnno, got to fix this goal kicking!

Maybe they are confused about whether good kicking is a prerequisite for promotion…

Arthur Jones with 4 behinds could of been having a good day if he kicked straight

The worst thing is that he misses so many regulation shots. If it was him missing low percentage shots then it would be something but it's stuff like 25-30 out on a minor angle.

Alot of jogging behind the play on defefensive plays, it is a genuine concern for me.

I don't remember intensity being a knock on Sanders pre-draft. I wonder what is going on there.

Busslinger with 9 marks - I haven't watched so unsure if this is a good stats day or a good day, how has he been?

Been good defensively

Bad day to have a bad game if you're one of JOD or Buku!

Very solid. Intercepting very well. Many of his marks are from short sideways passes.

Spewing if we lose Buss I would be really disappointed

He plays in an area of the ground we are very thin. Almost feel Bev”s job and our success hinges on L Jones, if he was to get injured we are done IMO

Seems we have been patient with Buss and have put sone good development into him.

Kills the ball well.
Is starting to position himself well as a defender
Solid mark
Very sound foot skills and good awareness

Gotta try keep him at least another couple of years

Will just take him time to adjust to the level. He dominated Juniors so wasn't really required to do to much defensively since he was often the one in possession. I don't think we need to worry about him but I do think patience and realistic expectations are required.
Personally I'd be giving him a job each week to go out and tag the opposition's best Mid and work on defence first before he goes back to his one wood.

Once he ups his Match fitness it'll all start coming together.

He had a great start to the second half as well

Are they a bit short on the forward line?

 

[Al dente]

Freijah so impressive, the clear standout in terms of AFL transition

along with his kicking, he has good strength, will sit under a ball, strong hands, little bit of mongrel, lots of ticks,
anyone seen enough of him to judge his pace?

 

[DognBones]

Are they a bit short on the forward line?

Yes. Particularly when Lobb is rucking. Basically only Croft as a target.

He’s a big unit too. Lots of upside.

Good skills and smarts too. Is he tall enough for kp?

More an endurance athlete rather then one who focuses on speed but he isnt slow and can also slip though traffic.
