[ToreadorMarch]

Dempsey is such a shining light. What a great result from a rather speculative draft pick

DK rucking well. Blitz is the issue. Getting flogged by Goldstein and no impact as a mid.

I disagree with the stats, I think DK has been made to look silly and I think the nonselection of Conway is embarassing. Stoked with Humphries.

 

[catstorm]

Humphries must stay in the team

How many times have we said that and then the match committee drops them for a 30+ year old a week later.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Dempsey

Thanks Todd

Conway 1 out v Draper/Goldy on a heavy wet ground would be gassed in the 3rd Q. If he played we'd need significant chop out from Neale, but we also need tall targets up forward.

Peter to pay Paul scenario

800k per annum you say

 

[OddYears]

Sdk has been atrocious but you can’t expect him to play 2 positions at once.

I don’t want him to play 2 positions. I want Scott to select an actual ruckman and put sdk on 2m. Just the logical way to go about things when bombers are playing tall with 3 ruckman

It’s ok to be wrong.

Doesn’t look interested out there tonight.

 

[Klink]

Humphries another Wells (or Mackie) special at P63, the second last pick of last years draft.

 

[catempire]

Conway should be playing with DK relieving. I think people have forgotten how bad DK has been at full back. No guarantee he does better than Henry (who has been horrific).

Shhhh we don’t want to drop his value, we need another 1st rounder

Just 4 disposals at half time for Knevitt. Been very disappointing.

Not that kind of player, not that kind of game

 

[Live in hope]

Dempsey huge.
Humphries already shown has he can be weekly best 23.
Danger causing most of our midfield opportunities.

The panicked kicking and permitting transition through the corridor is costing us.

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Henry has no right to blast anyone, he’s been ****ing useless

Yeah, he's playing on giants tho, SDK runs into empty space. Both are getting killed tho

 

[foxdog50]

****ing Wright again

Imagine if we had a 2mt defender on Wright? Ohhh that's right we're playing him ruck

As a follow up to your comment on Atkins. Are we at the point where the same applies to Blicavs?

On that note, be nice if Knevitt got near it.

 

[Cataholic]

The same thing happened last week v Carlton, very frustrating!

Yes, I asked the same question last week too.

It's noticeable.

 

[BigCat1]

Incredibly poor half. We have are so lucky to be in it. 3/4 of the team are well below their best. 15 of them have had it less than 10 times.

I love Scotty. Love him but this isn’t working.

Henry isn’t a key tall. SDK isn’t a ruck. Stewy isn’t an onballer.

Danger fwd is the only winning move we have.

Just 4 disposals at half time for Knevitt. Been very disappointing.

They will not focus on that. He has run 7.7km and almost 2km at high speed. Most on the ground.

That is what they want from wing to create space. The ball sometimes come or not.

Dempsey has had those halves as well

 

[calder_daddy]

Just 4 disposals at half time for Knevitt. Been very disappointing.

Actually thought when the ball has gone near him he’s been ok without saying he’s been great or bad.
On tv he’s doing a lot of unrewarded running on the dead side of the ground

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Yeah I've liked SDK so far. Our worst ruck work has come from blitz. Neale not even trying to mark it but bringing it ground as a strategy in these conditions masks faults and helps him get the ground level follow up going.

Also, I've eaten so many doritos I may have pulmonary embolism if it gets close in the last 5 minutes.

It boggles the mind how he went undrafted in the national draft. What a steal in the rookie draft.

 

[cats_09]

Not that kind of player, not that kind of game

We need not make the youth the scapegoats when things don't go to plan

Next week against Hawthorn may be a good test for a few of our younger players - hope they're given a shot to see what they can do
