Love that but who? I don’t see anyone who would’ve been available other than weddle (another hbf) whose output is comparable. My read is whilst be super to get young talent they have to be available, it’s not like we could’ve snagged Reid, Naicos, McKercher, etc. Happy to be corrected
1. You want the president to take over the executives at the club? You want O'Rourke to do what? Chuck out the recommendation of the New CEO committee?
We do have players with pace we just will not rotate them in the midfield. Perhaps Yze could explain that. It can’t be a fear of losing.
Green in for Campbell (the kid needs a break). Kmac out and Short on the wing. Banks playing hbf. Smith or Tresies in. Sonsie MacAlif and Cumberland given decent midfield minutes. Toranto and Hopper to rotate midfield/third tall forward
Was out bodied multiple times, and caught out of position. Just looked a completely different player in comparison to last week.
Dont need top three, but anything in the top 10-15 would be great
Sprint/Repeat sprint efforts means nothing in this context as you wrote. We had to sprint more cause we were poorly positioned and structured, meaning we are just having to chase butt everywhere and at times multiple effort to even apply any decent pressure. Freo didnt need to sprint cause they picked us apart, especially on the over lap and most time Freo players didnt have to work too hard to be in acres of space.
Bit of leadership is nice. His dead silent. Compare him to Penny chalk and cheese.
Bolton gets a run through the middle, but is playing mainly forward which I get as that's where is is most dangerous. I would like to see him given more time in the middle when the ball isn't going forward as he is wasted waiting for the ball to come down.
Not really imo
Don't mind most of that as something to try.
Not talking open letter. Face the supporters, the media etc. Reassuring them the club is under review nothing from him or Gale. I call that lack of leadership
Sonsie and Cumberland for a start. And possibly put Banks into defence and allow Rioli to rotate through. Even put Banks into the midfield or onto a wing and let HRS play as a genuine midfielder Smith seems quick and is a good kick. I like Graham and Dow but we have invested in Toranto and Hopper and now we need to put players around them that complement them not their understudies. Most of my suggestions will probably not work but if we don’t test the kids how are we going to asses then and either develop them or move on.
Hopefully our first pick this year slots straight into that midfield rotation, will obviously need a couple of preseasons before we see the best of them though.
You reckon. Peggy use to be on the front foot regularly.
Fair enough...; lets look at the Adelaide win.
Ball movement is generally a product of your midfield qty , ours is prob league worst and so is ball movement it’s no co incidence it’s academic , we need 10-12 new players in Saturdays side , some may argue more , I accept that too
Agreed, watching it I saw him pleading to the umpire a couple of times for a push but watching the replay he was just out bustled a touch early but not unreasonable. This season is a great education for him, he’s learning weekly what it takes to be a key defender at afl level.
