I think second ruck is probably his best position.

Hi best position is as a statue wearing a premiership medallion to mock Harris Andrews and Brisbane.

We owe that club a couple.

If Cameron is out they will probably play Frampton in the ruck.

Agree. He’ll be our ruckman if Cameron and Cox out as per last year.

Shame he had to be taken from defence when Cox went out. He and Moore were starting to work well together.

He’s not been the same now returning to defence. Neither has Moore.

Cox going down is when our season ended, which seems ridiculous given the calls to drop him. But it made too many magnets need to move out of position to cover it.

Not billy's fault how often he's been moved around, paid the price for being too versatile. Spot on about Moore as well.

He annoyed me after allowing McKay to kick that goal on the quarter time siren, however with all due respect he had a really good second half.

Fumbly with ground balls early, but was really clean in that last quarter - a few big ground balls that he handled beautifully.

Asked for a more assertive game and a bit more mongrel from Billy pre game and he showed a bit of both as well as a couple of nice marks and even a bit of dash. Hope that becomes the norm for him. Well done Billy.

yeah agree. he needed to start shoulder-to-shoulder with his opponent (McKay or Curnow, at times) instead of trailing his player in, watching him take a mark on a lead and then simply standing the mark .. he did that and was more effective.

Carlton's ball movement also allowed us to get numbers into d50 and use our 3rd man-up spoils to good effect.

Good point re Carlton’s ball movement. Their uncontested mark and disposal count was probably high compared to ours but I felt that most of them were in the back half. We didn’t give them much in their forward half. Thought we backed each other up really well last night.

Agree. Uncontested disposal is a funny one, I find. Sometimes it just means they're kicking it around their backline; backwards, sideways & not really doing anything with it because they have no options in front of them.
 
The chook was good last night, also with moore returning to form. So often recently they have refused to work together and block for one another, Now with howe back there permantly they are working as a team again. His huge 1v1 mark manhandling mckay was amazing.

Im worried about quaynor. He gets in the way of the big fellas and is constantly out of position at the minute. doesn't have to fly, needs to stay on the deck and guard the dangerous ground ball. And hardly touching it the other way.

It's when we're allowing teams to move it forward with uncontested possessions that it's an issue - ala the Essendon, and Geelong games.

We were witches hats against Bombers. And not much better against Cats.

So frustrating looking at where we are now & how we played on Saturday. Those 2 games & both the draws were all so winnable with only just a little more pressure needed.

Bloody Scott brothers.
 
He's a good match up for McKay because i don't think McKay has any smarts either. They are athletically very similar too.
