Sorry to derail but the Freo Coll game won’t show on foxtel go, will this be the same for the AFC game?

George Hewitt emergency?

 

[Mutineer]

Been on a list now for four years and looks just as bog average as the year he was drafted

He's one of the most highly skilled talls to come through the draft in the last 10 years, however what is pretty clear to me is he's unlikely to ever reach his full potential if the Dogs persist with him in Ruck. For his height he's very quick and agile, can take a great grab and has exceptional foot skills. IMO the Dogs would be better served developing him as KPP that would be equally adept either end of the ground though up forward would be my preference. Think Paul Salmon.

I agree he will never make it as a ruck. I'm not sure he'll make it as a KPP unless he can get a fair bit stronger, he's quite easily bullied out of contests.

Perhaps as a Westhoff style wing is where he'll find his place as you said earlier

Does anyone else see this as just a pre season game for 2021?

He’s a ruckman

 

[Scorpus]

He’s a ruckman

Yeah? He's shown no improvement. That's concerning for any player

 

[GrommoT]

One thing that game highlighted was the need for a decent ruck in today's game, Does not matter how good your Midfield Is if you're getting smashed in the ruck you're losing more times than winning. Rucks need to competative and not allow opposition ruck to easy taps to advantage,

In saying that what happened to English I thought he was better than that, and if that all they Have the Bulldogs are in for a world of trouble this year,

To be fair, not every team has Brodie Grundy and Big Cox.

I’m prepared to give him a bit more time, 2 years younger than O’Brien

 

[Josh Jenkins #1Fan]

Rioli averaged 50% more disposals in his first two seasons though

He was also a first round draft pick

 

[ad victoriam]

To be fair, not every team has Brodie Grundy and Big Cox.

It more about nullifing some of the advantage of making him work harder, Grundy had far too easy for a first game of the year.

If last night is anything to go by and he gets smashed around by bigger rucks, would he be much better on a KPD?

I’m looking at this as potentially the only ‘proper’ game we’ll see this year. It’s round 1 but we should be thinking of this as our grandfinal

That's debatable.

He's a Ruckman's height...

 

[AmericanCrow]

Alrighty time to play

 

[Southerntakeover]

Wait, did they really give us a delayed telecast?

What campaigners.

The games not on Fox yet either, surely it's not delayed.

They may have delayed the game.

 

[Samcro24]

Starts at 4:35

 

[AmericanCrow]

Game time was moved fellas. Don’t worry.

As an aside, any reason our local radio guys feed is not on AFL match center?
