Essendon is playing out of their skins. On paper we are better though, unfortunately, the game isn't played on paper

On Paper? On anything - surely not...

I know I might cop a whack for bringing up rucks (yet again) but we have seen some very good performances from young rucks so far this weekend .

last night, Draper with 3 goals today, English with 15 disposals to half time tonight.

Having played most of my (very modest) footy career as a (very) undersized ruckman I always appreciate watching talented, well rounded rucks go about their business.

Watching Weightman tonight and Papley last night you could almost make a case that our lack of a dynamic small forward is as big an issue as our current lack of a Key Forward.

Dylan Moore?

Did sweet FA last week. Better do something tomorrow.
I like him but the best between his good and bad is horrendous.

Mate he's played two games this season, Sam said in his presser he wasn't switched on and that's why he was subbed out, and i can assume that was due to the fact he has twins and could've been up with them.

Before this season he didn't play anything more than 10 seconds last year.

Don’t think it was ever just since us against Carlton in 2007 where we had 37.

BRISBANE'S

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Dylan Moore?

Dylan is more of a high possession, high half forward (and he's excellent at it).

I'm talking a dynamic forward pocket like Papley or Charlie Cameron who can kick 6 goals in a game.

 

[grumbleguts]

The autopsy threads are a delight .

And Ive never learnt so much about rucks as I have in the last week

And I learnt that rucks turn elite at 2:35 pm on the day they turn 24 years 275 days old

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Enter:
Tyler Brockman.

That's the hope of course.

We have seen flashes of undeniable talent but he hasn't put together a break out game (yet).

He’s 20yrs old.

Oh oh O’Brien

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Keep going Port.

 

[Bedi]

the 5000 Port supporters in attendance go wild

 

[bigconornash]

Up the power! Hope the dogs finish near the bottom!

 

[Off The Couch]

Really impressed with Hinkley’s support of JHF

In addition
“When you are putting pressure on 18 year old kids in this game, you need to take a really good hard look at yourself”

Take note some posters on this board

 

[Off The Couch]

Merrett should get two weeks if they are consistent with the penalty with Days

 

[grumbleguts]

Why? I hope they finish tenth. Low enough to be irrelevant, high enough to get poor draft picks.

He had a quiet game up until the last quarter then was huge with 11 touches, 7 contested, 4 clearances and a goal assist.

Which has been his second monster quarter after the one against the lions.

As he develops he will turn in more and more quarters like this and way less quiet quarters.

Seen 3 or 4 today. If they don't get highlighted in the media generally they don't get cited by the MRO

I wouldn’t do this to yourself.

Consistency isn’t an AFL strength.

Cough dissident rule Cough

Or any other rule the umpiures inforce

 

[Off The Couch]

I’m being a wee bit cynical

Was that hug deliberate after the recent “I’ll catch a different plane”
