Review Round 17, 2024 vs Western Bulldogs

[Ford Fairlane]

I really liked Lachie Jones' game. Big improvement.

Really straight lined the ball and hit targets when he won it. Even went for a couple of charges upfield. Nobody likes getting in his way.

 

[Bump Bailey]

Begs the question... what do you do with Esava now?

SANFL

He & Dixon throw the balance out at either end so back to the Magpies they go.

Rioli for Francis Evans is the only change I’d be making for the foreseeable future.

Logan Evans has made Burton redundant, Sweet has Soldo covered, Sinn is a list-clogger and depth at best.

Time to bed down a 23 and see what they can achieve for the rest of the year.

Trade him back to Geelong!

 

[hammo24]

you know it’s a ****ed season when we’re in the top 4

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I really liked his contested mark but like I have said previously a lot of his kicks resulted in the ball coming back the other way.

He had 75% DE today so it wouldn't be a lot of his kicks. But yes, he missed a couple of targets today.

He has a good flat quick drop punt, which will become a weapon as he gets experience.

Remember he's only 18, was picked up in the mid-season draft and has missed a few sanfl games this year with injury.

There's a lot of development to come.

He plays with a bit of emotion, hates making mistakes, so he will work hard on self-improvement.

 

[PowerLil]

Performances like today make you think that it’s almost as if the playing list is not the issue.

Career best goal haul for The King Mitch Georgiades

Anyone with half a brain knows it has never been the list.

vibes with Evans

Greetings from Montreux, Switzerland.

Watch out for stupids with flare guns.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Trade him back to Geelong!

I can already hear the Vic media opining that a late fourth rounder is overs.

 

[Scodges]

As expected, living up to the daylight, flat track bullies.

So it looks like Port won. Still had a far better day in the hills with friends.

especially if that was one of your friends

 

[chiwigi]

As much as I want Hinkley out, I don’t want our players ruined by hammerings.
Rozee and Georgiadas showing their class is good for our medium and long term even if it hurts our short term.

I was a little disappointed in Ollie Lord appearing to allow himself to be so easily intimidated when Lobb was grabbing the front of his jumper and swinging him around like a rag doll at times in the first half.

As I mentioned in another post I was doing a fair bit of channel surfing ( particularly in the 2nd half ) so Ollie may have squared up after half time, but Lobb has never been known as a genuinely hard at it type and Lord is going to come across much tougher oppo than him, particularly in finals, whether that be this season or in future seasons.

Was bugger all in it, was hanging on like a bitch was all. You don’t wanna give away 50’s for that. He was far from rag dolled.

Agreed

Plays better on instinct..the more time he has the more he ****s it up.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Good win, best we have played for ages

Need to back it up now and win next week.

All played well..

Bring in rioli and drop Frankie and stick boak as sub.

maybe I'm looking for it, but we have worse than him in our squad.

 

[gbear]

Just watched the first quarter. Where the **** has this been?

 

[davesnothere]

Ken's done it.

Didn't enjoy the game.

 

[davesnothere]

Begs the question... what do you do with Esava now?

You don't double down on mistakes.

He's a sanfl player until he isn't.

 

[TeeKray]

Jason Horne-Francis kicked as many goals today as Hot Toddy has in his last 5 games combined.

That's what they call Damned with faint praise

 

[mighty_lions]

go ken great win! hope the booers are happy!

I'm thinking in one of the bottles you uncorked this afternoon

How many has JHF kicked in his past 5 games???
