Might be an unpopular opinion, but I'd give Duz a couple of weeks back on a wing. Caddy needs another forward with leading patterns so send Jones there. Durham's running power would allow him to get back and support the defenders better than Jones does. We need to give Hobbs a decent run of games on ball to be certain of his ability, and he needs to be played alongside Tsatas. As well, if Durham still has sore ribs, time on a wing will ultimately be good for him.

Looks a fraction off the pace . Not through lack of effort. Wonder if he is still feeling some effects from the bruised ribs.

Think he’s banged up with a few niggles currently. It’s lucky for us we have a bye next week, will allow a few with early season niggles to get right.

wasnt he tagging Day in round 1? He may have not had a big impact himself but did a good job negating Day who was close to BoG the week before.

I reckon he'll get the job on Rozee tonight too. There's no way we let him run free after last time! He's been in red-hot form. You'd imagine Drew to Merrett also, even with Merrett at half-forward or half-back.

So the game we played against these guys last time was the game we played against the crows last week.

We just let the Port midfield literally do whatever they wanted.

We seem to have 1 or 2 of these games a year so you'd be concerned if we saw it again tonight.

it’s because you are a young and inexperienced poster, but you’ve just got to keep posting and work through it

You know what, I had a similar thought.. we are so desperate to get Hobbs, Tsatas, Caldwell, Merrett, Parish (when fit) all in the midfield rotation, who could be pushed out. This bloke could be one of the better wingers if he was given the role full time. Lock it down with Durham and Duursma and the rest of the midfield group could improve astronomically.

Head to head with another mid (accountable for that player) is when he plays his best imo

 

[TheUnicorn]

Added another scalp in Rozee whilst still having a pretty solid game

 

[jannissary]

was he rozee’s direct opponent? i’ll have to watch again. looked much better last night, though.

sans his goalkicking

Yep

 

[jannissary]

i reckon he can easily develop into a dangerous run with player. extremely physical player

 

[Vindicater]

Yeah. Sit him on the best opponent mid. Relishes the challenge.

Just doesn't pull out of any contests even when caught under awkward high balls. Not sure I have seen anyone go harder.
