Autopsy Im still shaking are you? One of the great Final comebacks! 6 point winners over GWS.

Melican had a stinker but then again GWS and WB are probably the hardest games for the tall defenders.

On another note how bloody nerve racking is counting down once we got ahead. No nails left

Melican was epic?
Mccartin was a bit meh
JFC . Hot takes are odd

Melican conceeded 3 on Cadman and then also gifted other cross matches 1-2 marks inside 50 he was way off

 

[Nuggetz]

Adams and Cleary in next game for Amartey or Mclean & Juzzy. Tough but need more impact from our tall fwds & juzzy looks way underdone.

Adams is a must at least.

 

[kneecapper]

What's the prevailing thought on Papley? He's a really good player, but **** me he's 20-something going on 13. Cringe on 2 legs.

He's playing finals and your mob's in Bali after finishing 15th so I reckon he goes alright.

Keep it simple Adams for Juzzy and keep Campbell as sub as he seems to be able to run over the top with fresh legs. Think we need to stay tall against Hawks/Port to not allow Sicily to play an intercepting role on a smaller forward

Massive shout out to Cunningham. Absolutely blanketed Daniels.
Likewise - Ramps - totally nullified Green

He had a far better game than McCartin.

SO much this. Outstanding games by the old men of the back 6.

 

[Kbroome]

McCartin had to deal with the Coleman medalist whereas Melican had 3 conceeded on him from Cadman and 1 from a cross-match with Keefe (or it was one of his bad misses)

That's a good point but bloody hell, our talls need to clunk some marks. I'd love Campbell to get a full game but groin injuries can be problematic so a dedicated sub role might be perfect for him right now. Even a Fox for Amartey or Mclean might be a good idea considering his ability to play a disciplined 1v1 role.

I'm still not sold on either Amartey or Mclean tbh.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

He had a far better game than McCartin.

Ticky Tommy just hasn't been the same since the last concussion.

 

[Nuggetz]

I'm still in disbelief at that Heeney performance & his mini me in Campbell having a blinder too. Campbell has some jumping ability too, can't wait to see it.

He's a match winner, gets the opposition to focus on him rather than their game and then backs it up with great skills and goal kicking. If you cringe at that you'd probably need to switch to watching tennis or something

 

[ftmch]

He's playing finals and your mob's in Bali after finishing 15th so I reckon he goes alright.

Haha, wasnt asking if hes any good - the boy can play. Was a genuine question on whether you guys cringe at his alpha male he-man antics?

 

[Adnico26Parker]

I love it when Brodie’s back on IG

 

[Ticky009]

Ticky Tommy just hasn't been the same since the last concussion.

I'm aware - which means we need to have a serious conversation about where he's at as a player in our back 6. If we had someone really pressing in the VFL I'd say he'd be on holiday right now.

 

[Ballarat Bob]

Tbh I am still trying to process that last quarter. GWS played so well for three quarters bought the ball out from defence with ease and clunked marks all over the ground. Probably got a few rub of the green free kicks but they were playing better pressure football.
Heeney was outstanding , Warner a last quarter cameo and Campbell the super sub. Cunningham and Rampe were good down back and I thought Melican and McCartin had their moments but were isolated far too often with their direct opponents with the ball coming in with ease. There was some inconsistent effort with some poor basic skills but just grinding away before we got a run on in the last.
Parker going to sub makes sense to me. He is tracking like Kennedy in his final years great when he can actually get his hands on it or make a tackle but looks a little bit behind the pace of the game now. Still like three talls up front but need quick movement out of the midfield to force them to lead better and open up space.
Campbell has to come in next game he was outstanding and is playing with so much confidence.

I'm starting to feel the same too. If its the Hawks could play Fox to negate Sicily? He would be tailor made for the role. That said i rate Amartey's ability to bring the ball to the ground and he made 5 tackles. But Mclean is the chop out in the ruck so makes Amartey vulnerable. Though his last goal may have saved his skin.

 

[Nuggetz]

That may have been before the game.

However watching Jmac. I'm not sure that's still appropriate.

He seemed to be stuck forward

Watching live Juzzy looked slow & hesitant compared to his normal fit self. Clearly underdone imo & he shouldn't be risked for finals. Adams in for him.

Saying Parker lacks pace and then calling for him to be sub when we need fast fresh legs is self-defeating.

As long as he wins us games I couldn't care less how he carries on. He's one of the reasons we won today.

He couldn't kick the ball more than 5 yards before it touched the floor he looked about 80%

Bonz tag you're it for the next preview.

Not quite at Rachele levels.

Walker is beyond cringe, just a flog.

Not with the way the game is going with head knocks.

He is a concussion or two from someone stepping in.
