Review Cats cloud out Suns by 60 points

[Vdubs]

Strange to sub Stanley off at 1/2 time. But I like it as a strategic move. It had two purposes:

1) Keep Stanley fresh and uninjured

2) With nobody left to oppose Witts in the ruck, it was a good opportunity to see what would happen if the likes of Gawn or Grundy start monstering everyone and winning every hitout. Can the midfield team cope? It would seem so.

O'Connor I thought was pretty lively when he came on.

Radio said Stanley did a groin. Not sure how bad.

 

[Stokey]

SDK also firming for an AA spot. Who has been better?

 

[Drunkcat]

1-Cameron 2-Hawkins 3-Stengal 4-Close 5-Holmes...Maxy in the top 5 goal kickers this year, a 19yr old just adding more to his game

 

[Willo_]

Odd game, ultra professional early, cruising after quarter time really, we dominated scoring shots and probably still left a heap out there wasting every 2nd inside 50 entry and being too unselfish.

Good win though, team looks happy. Many contributors again

Could Blicavs win the brownlow? he has had a great year

He would be lucky to have 5 votes.

 

[FredLeDeux]

We had 3 in the Top 13 in 1976, including a couple of rovers.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Not the best of games.
Venue not bad .
The sunset ok too.

 

[Seeds]

Stengle is just pure class.

stewart back to dominating form

miers made it harder for menegola to keep his spot tonight. Menegola probably not enough.

cameron should of kicked 5.

holmes wouod be an emerging star if he had a better kick. becoming very good player nonetheless.

Danger needs to stop falling over like an old man and sort out his goal kicking routine, and Cameron should limit his roaming as we need a tall target close to goal in addition to Hawkins.

 

[allrighty]

Must say I'd almost given up on Blitz last year. Looked slow, caught often and regularly coughed it up.

Man he has turned it around this year.

Brilliant year

 

[allrighty]

Good win, but I do hope on the bye week we work on our set shot goal kicking.

I've been hoping for that for about 5+ years

In soccer his role would be called a false 9

Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema, Roberto Firmino and Harry Kane are some modern examples of a false nine. We take an in-depth look at the role

it effectively gives us an extra player on the ground, which makes our ball movement look extra silky

Agree on the first. He does not have a routine at all. Cameron roaming has been killing other teams all year, absolutely critical.

Stanley to miss 1 week.

A soccer ground is so short that combined with the off side rule, a star forward has to play upfield in order to get into the game.

He is genuinely spooked when shooting from circa 40 metres. Thankfully we don’t rely too much on his goal kicking.

How did they spot that from the sideline?

 

[Heckler]

Where's that dude who doesn't rate Parfitt lol

Parfitt is Ok but has shortcomings... I don't overrate him.
Has a great baulk and side step and is a strong effective tackler,
However his kicking lets him down... penetration and accuracy.
Below average contested mark and needs more leg speed as a small.
Like Danger, I accept the good with the bad....
Ok when playing midfield... not a natural forward.

The soccer semantics aren't that important, the effect of creating the overload for possession chains and space from man marking is.

Essentially he loses his opponent when he moves from a deep position, the KPD gets dragged away from the D50 trying to chase him so they aren't available for a double team as a loose in defence. When he re-positions back in to a deep position he either doesn't have a mark so can get a free jump or has a mis match.

Cameron has the smarts to know when to do this, if you're always doing it you can find yourself with the ball on the wing with no one to kick to. But given that we move the ball through the middle, have plenty of runners and he has a 55 metre kick + Gary Rohan, we don't run into this issue too often.

So what is wrong with our midfield that they need to feed Cameron to get the ball forward? I can see a final against a good team where we keep entering the 50 and the ball rebounds as Hawk can’t jump, Rohan can’t hold his grabs, the defence out marks us, and smalls Stengle, Miers and Close can’t get into the game.

Cameron had 6 shots at goal today

Against a weak Suns, when we were dominating.
