Blicavs actually did pretty well when positioned deep in defense considering its been close to 3 seasons since he played any kind of meaningful football as a KD, didn't he?
Fair effort.
2.2 a game would have him 9th in the league. Sure, nice to have but it shows the unrealistic standard some are holding a 22 year old to.He is doing very poorly this year at being a lethal goalkicker. 1.4 goals a game is poor if thats all you do. Needs to be above 2.2 a game.
Hurt his back didn't he?Totally agree.
I think we are barking up the wrong tree wanting him to be a defensive forward. His go is being a lethal goalkicker and to date in his career he has done that well. But he can’t be missing those chances he did yesterday.
So just confirming, your margin between good and poor there makes him equal 10th for average goals kicked this year, so anything not top 10 is poor?He is doing very poorly this year at being a lethal goalkicker. 1.4 goals a game is poor if thats all you do. Needs to be above 2.2 a game.
Blitz has to be injured.. He doesn't kick on his right foot anymoreBlitz rolling onto his left to kick out of D50 is genuinely terrifying.
For sure they dropped a lot of sitters.I think we pressured then into the turnovers for sure but a lot of the ones that stuck out to me were to players who definitely had the space to mark with another 2 metres on the kick.
No one really has meaningful individual match ups other than key position players these days do they? From what I can tell watching on tv Close spends a lot of time closing space through the midfield when opposition have the ball, but the beauty of his game is on the transition to attack where he so often gets involved using a smart touch to set up a scoring chain.Who was his direct opponent?
Whoever was nearest to him usually corridor. He got sent to where Freo wanted to move the ball to and pressured the chain through running to prevent the chain of handballs out of the back half through the middle that we look vulnerable to.Who was his direct opponent?
Goal kicking average is 35th in the league, same as the number 1 draft pick from his draft year, who is currently 10th in the Coleman having played the whole season.What do critics expect of Neale? He’s played 16 AFL games and is 22. He’s starting to be more comfortable and clunk some big marks. He’s kicked 18 goals in 11 games this year and has 5 GA. I would say he’s developing nicely.
Absolute class act, both on and off the field...
What’s Wharfie time?I love the subtle dig at Pav in the by line
Duncan is going to get managed soon. Probably this week.Depending on how SDK is the changes for next week will be something like
Out Mullin dropped, Bruhn Concussion
In SDK, Rohan
After that it is up to if a player needs a rest/management

He didn’t throw him under the bus. It was simply miscommunication - blitz thought mannagh was going to fly and almost pulled out of the contest to e sure that he didn’t clean mannagh up.Was an extremely poor effort that.
He wanted no part of that contest, and threw Mannagh under the bus.
If we can absolutely slaughter Saints next week + consequently improve our %What a win! probably the most important of the season. We should make to four now even top two if results go our way.
Yes yes he wasWasn't he managed last week?
At a guess I reckon 150 of those freo possessions were meaningless. We were giving them the uncontested kicks in specific areas on the ground and letting them snooker themselves.Possession count for the whole game was 396 Freo, 307 us.
They did pissfart around with it a lot, but that's still a remarkable stat for the winning team to get 90 possies less than the losers. The 2022 GF was 397 us, 304 Swans, and we won that game by 81 points.
