Not to mention, should have been play on not a mark, hands to the ball at the same time and crouch dropped it.

Yeah i was filthy that got paid a mark to McGovern. He never even had the ball. Classic intercept mark. If pepper had punched that ball instead of marked it would have been called play on. They got what they deserved there w***ers
 
Still think he needs to get a bit bigger so he can handle the contested balls a bit better, but he's coming along nicely. He's a bit too spoil-happy when he could clearly mark the footy, but that will come with more experience I would think.
 
I said to the two lovely Crow girls sitting next to me that his long sleeves would've given out all the wrong signals in a game like the showdown, much like the game half our side wore them last year.

Pretty sure I yelled out 'he's wearing long sleeves he doesn't want the contact' at some point as he ran past in my drunk rambling lol.
At least Monfries only wore long sleeves when it was cold.
 
And if Wingard didn't kick to the wrong option, McGovern wouldn't have put the Crows ahead. There are a lot of factors which contribute to a result ;)
Wingardmade the wrong vs Eagles in the EF. Find the right option & you win the game.

He's not the only one guilty of this. I vividly remember Hombsch spoiling the ball over the boundary uncontested on the wing in the showdown. Think it may have been 2nd quarter.

Yes that one made me cringe. I've noticed Howard has been more prone to it than others though.

I reckon Dougal will stay a similar body shape for his career ie not bulk up much he's an athletic type.

Pick 56 far out what a bargain
Pretty sure Dustin Fletcher had a pretty handy career without a 'great build'. Doogs will build strength as he gets older and give me a 200cm athlete with his attributes and intelligence any day of the week. Plus mental strength to over come a serious knee injury. YES we have a beauty and wouldn't 17 other clubs love him on their list.

I'd hope he develops his additional weight in a few years. Clurey, Jonas and Homsche will play the lock down rolls for the next 3-5 years. Howard should play the more mobile role and use his speed to get to contests. When he starts to slow down, he can get bigger.

I think Fletcher is a good example of maintaining flexibility, speed and leap can be more valuable than a Carlile bulk.
 
Parker can pick good talls with late picks. Don't be shy Geoff, do it again. I like Frampton too :D
