If it was up to me Wilson would never play again
If Wilson plays then Ryan should be dropped. We seem to love to double up.
You can’t play all of Clark, Young, Chapman, Walker, etc, off HB.
You’d think it would create more fast flowing footy, instead they are all waiting and Young has been told to eliminate the risky kick.
Maturity, games played will fix that up anyway. We look best playing run and stun.
Instead the coaches want us to rein it in?

Far from lazy. Lol the mark he dropped in the last qrter where those crucifying for was not necessarily a gimme. The guy was right on this hammer.
One thing with Banners is he actually quite good in congestion, flicks out quick handball. Too much time to think is not as good. The accuracy he has with those on the run snaps no-one gives credit for, but sure not all players could hit that with consistency
He doesn’t tackle. How many tackles should a forward have for a game? Darcy rucks and then immediately follows up with tackles, his 4 last night were as many as Schultz, Banfield, Walters , Amiss and Freddy combined.
Some of our best footy was due to the pressure applied from Mayne, Walters and Balla.
Mayne was a machine, Erasmus, Emmett appear to have that Mayne-iac quality.
Not sure about Corbett? But Banfield should be the super sub.
Having more players that can help scoring makes sense doesn’t it?
Look I’m no great fan but he always pops up for a goal or two.
Did you not see him deliver that kick i50 to Amiss?
Did you not see him consistently running into the right spots, presenting, creating space in the FWD line for Amiss, running down the wing ect? Did you not see him actually lead at the ball carrier in that last play?
If you didn't maybe watch the game again. It's his first AFL game in 2 years due to multiple injuries and getting his body right and you're saying he doesn't have it, just moronic and lacking a basic understanding of what football IQ looks like.
It's interesting, inside 50 tackling has been a relative strength this season often because it's been our only avenue to goal. I think though in this instance the lower tackle numbers may at least partially reflect how much better we were at creating scoring opportunities directly from marks inside 50 in the second half.
Agree that it's something to keep an eye on especially with Switta out but I'm ok with that number staying low(er) if we have forwards taking lots of set shots rather than trying to almost exclusively score from stoppages and turnovers. Obviously we'll come up against teams who defend better but it was encouraging to see actual space in our forward line yesterday.
For those wondering, sturts going to get a good crack at it.

Yep - me too. But play Ras in the guts and JOM at half forward ala North Melbourne final quarter.
I watched the extended highlights package again this morning whilst on the treadmill and the kick into the F50 was one of the most beautiful highlights of the night.
Longmuir mentioned in the press conference that they changed the team balance by playing one less wingman than they have been, but went on to say they (Gold Coast) still found space even on the narrow ground. This makes me think they will consider bringing back Henry or O'Driscoll into the 23 for the next game, at minimum as the sub.

That’s very encouraging to hear! Especially if he’s been told that himself. Takes a fair bit of the pressure off so he can just get out and play rather than be thinking that any mistake might cost him his spot.
I’m loving the speed we’ve got in the forward half at the moment, even more so when Switta is back

NOD.
I totally agree. He reminds me of Bailey Fritz. Just needs to produce. Looks like a natural forward.That’s very encouraging to hear! Especially if he’s been told that himself.

Any insight into the Brodie vs JOM selection? Hope Brodie also gets a good crack at it.

My only problem with giving players time to "settle" is our season is essentially on the line every week atm, especially in an 8 point game against the dogs.
Brodie obviously has to come in for a full game.
I would like Corbett to come in, I think a forward line of Amiss, Corbett and Jackson has a nice balance to it. This would potentially drop Sturt.
Give Sturt the vest.
Honestly as much as it sucks for him, if I was the coach I'm bringing in Wilson for Wagner this week. Can't afford those turn overs against the bullies. Wagner had an injury interrupted pre season, let him build more confidence up playing for peel, I'm sure he will get another chance.
I wonder what the go is with Fyfe...

Yeah, nah........
You don't want to give Sturt time to settle in an 8 point game but you want to bring in someone who has barely played for Peel and hasn't played and AFL game for us?
Give me some of what you're smoking
That's BigFooty. Performance of a player is completely subjective depending on whether Player A is your favourite or your scapegoat. Makes a lot of people look really ridiculous.

What was unforgivable was his obvious hearing of footsteps thus not positioning his body to protect the ball drop. Hardly an arm chop - or a free kick.
He then got baulked by a 6 and a half footer
According to the commentators it was cox giving Walters and the forwards a spray for king the ball come out easily but who knows
I will watch a replay again no doubt but it didn't seem that way to me. Might be wrong though. Sometimes if you hold onto the ball too long you can put yourself under tackling pressure. Overall, I thought he was pretty good. One of his handballs to someone running past was very slick but those kicking turnovers make his position in the side vulnerable. Imagine Corbett and Treacy would like the same extended run.
Chol’s arm was literally still wrapped around Banfields even after they separated. Should’ve been a free, Banfield should’ve been stronger, and wouldn’t have fallen for the candy. But the arm chop was still thereWhat was unforgivable was his obvious hearing of footsteps thus not positioning his body to protect the ball drop. Hardly an arm chop - or a free kick.
