His trade mark kick. Not looking and across the body

Him and Sloane are classics because they don't take steps with ball in hand out of stoppages. Matt has a look and tries to find a target and Schoey is the only one that runs with ball in hand from the stoppage, but they ran out of patience with a very poor patch of disposal.

Keays does also. But then still kicks poorly outside of the scrum.

Definitely get that, but he is capable of running clear of the contested area. Just need him to steady and improve his kicking. He doesn’t need to become elite by foot, but if he steadied and chose good options and then just put the ball on the advantage side he’d be instantly a much more valuable footballer.

Whatever you all said I’m sure it was salient

Quality reply, almost tempted to unblock you.

Totally agree but other than Berry we don't have any other young mids in form. Schoenberg is completely out of form, Hately is more of the same in the Crouch, Sloane mould but with worse skills. That leaves Pedlar who hasn't exactly been dominating SANFL. I have high hopes for Taylor but he's currently injured. We should be playing Laird, Keays, Berry as the mainstays and running some others such as Rachele, Dawson through for a few bursts. Pedlar needs to start producing on a regular basis for such a high draft pick. Schoenberg, Berry, Laird and Keays is likely what it will end up shortly if Schoenberg finds some form. For all our picks we still don't have an elite young mid to show for it. We either need to look at bringing in an established quality mid in the 22-24 age group end of the year or finally nail a draft pick on a quality mid.

I'd argue Sloane and Crouch are in worse form than Shoenberg.

Sloane isn't a form issue, he's cooked. Crouch has very limited use in modern football. At a club with some speedy mids he could maybe afford to be carried but not at our club.

Yeah, just wanted to point out that he can run from a stoppage.

Preaching to the converted there.

Grab Berg

Kick Berg

Wow

Just wish they were one clunks

Think one of the more underrated aspects of Dawson's game is his ability to spoil against taller forwards. Got that extra bit of height that allows him to get into aerial contests like that.

That 50 has absolutely killed our momentum and handed it back to Richmond.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

had this exact back and forth with Jeffcrowe a couple of weeks ago. End result was that he backed all but Sloane individually, excusing Crouch by saying he needed better players around him. So basically just dividing Sloane’s minutes between a few players and weirdly thinking that 32yo cooked body Sloane could be reinvented at half back because elite decision makers with laser legs like Hodge and Lewis did.

But he’s coming around and is now aligned with me as he wants crouch out as well. So that’s Keays and Laird leading a rotation of junior mids. This will allow Rochelle to get a few spurts and even mid ager like Murphy, who always looks good and lively around stoppages.

I’m sure at least he is devastated that Schoey was the one that suffered the axe and the fab 4 remain untouchable in there. No doubt Sloane will spend 3-4 minutes at half forward this week so they can excuse his poor output and blame the role change before selecting him again next week. I expect his TOG will be near 90% this week.

If you check my post history youll see after last week I wanted M crouch dropped . Might have been earlier

If you check posts this week can see I was ropeable re Schoenberg being dropped 14 days after his great showdown midfield effort

It’s funny how many people on this board thought Fogarty was only a couple of good midfielders away from being a gun forward

Meanwhile himmelberg has got in on a string and everyone thought he was no good

Comedy ….. there’s a chance Himmelberg could be Corey Mckernan + if we we had the midfield delivery you all covet to make your fan boy Fogarty a star

You’re actually my fav adversary though 1970 as you’ve proved me wrong more than a few times

Some of your allies on here though are absolute bed wetting imbeciles

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Why did he get drafted so high?

Because the crows overrated him , shocking pick

Mcasey was a much better pick as he’d won vic metro MVP over Rowell and Anderson , I’m surprised he’s not better now now

Fog had struggled to get a kick all season

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Lol. such bad opinions

Just tuning in to watch that guy Jake Lever that is worth half of what Mitch McGovern is in a trade because he plays 3rd tall intercept defender according to you

Meanwhile Mitch is a failed forward playing the same position as Jake , injured for 5 weeks with another hamstring tear and is worth a top 5 pick according to you

Jake is an AA premiership player , Mitch is a hack trying to get another contract

I’ve never seen a worse football argument in my life but it’s not surprising old man , you’re a flipping lightweight of the highest order nothing man

All of them? Must be an act
