He took two absolutely monstrous contested marks in defense in the last qtr I believe and they were within a minute of each other, both of them resulted in quick hand offs and clangers/turnovers.
The SANFL midfield is stacked.
McAdam hasn’t played for four weeks. Makes sense.
Sadly , my mates and I flew to Tassie for the match. In the first half the wind was as strong as any game I have attended. The Maestro refused to put a loose man/men in our back lines after we lost the toss and kicked against the gale in the first quarter and we were 10 goals down at quarter time. Brad Scott said “thank you very much” and put two loose men in defence in the second quarter (which we dominated but failed to score enough). Perhaps Don was doing some early experimentation for the 6/6/6

Yes, kicked 0.0

If thats Pickett's trajectory and capability in the midfield, it makes him a priority IMO.Centre bounce firestarters: Is this the most valuable role in footy?
They're not only great celebrators, but are having a huge say in the middle of the ground. Cal Twomey crunches the numbers

THEY are the small forwards having big impacts through the midfield. And they are the player every club wants on their list.
Melbourne premiership star Kysaiah Pickett has been similarly deployed, as has Josh Rachele at Adelaide, where both have been midfield firestarters who then hit the scoreboard.
Pickett has averaged more than five centre bounce attendances this season and spends about a quarter of his game time in the midfield. But he ranks No.1 at Melbourne for his centre bounce win rate, which is when the Demons win the centre clearance when he's in attendance.
Rachele is the same for the Crows, although he has an even bigger sample size to pick from.
The air-punching goal celebrations have taken attention but Rachele's capacity to win the ball in the midfield has been crucial for the Crows, with the 20-year-old splitting his time 49 per cent as a midfielder and 51 per cent as a forward. It's no wonder coach Matthew Nicks wants Rachele in the centre: Champion Data shows he has a 47 per cent centre bounce win rate.

We should be looking to rotate some of our players & that includes managing Sloane for games off during the season.
Nice of the local rag to get his age incorrect.

A 47% win rate is better than only Papley on that list.Centre bounce firestarters: Is this the most valuable role in footy?

It was during the insane Fogarty midfield experiment.
