Was good to see Levi starting to use his weight and strength again around the ground, that's the first time I've seen it this year. It's his go. He should ignore the tap stuff and just muscle opponents and try to get a handball away and if the ball is pilfered by an opponent he should be smashing them in a tackle every time, even if he gives away a few frees it'll start making some space for Walsh and Cripps.

They should drop setterfield EB.

This bloke plats like he will get a game no matter how he performs. Same with Dow.

Setterfield jogs around the contest and won’t attack the ball or player with the energy and intent.

Seen enough of both of them and really hope we give others a go. Kennedy, Cunningham and stocker should be given 5 or so games to compare and make decisions on all on this group come seasons end.

Cottrell shows the intent needed. May not have the look of a Dow or setterfield but he has heart and energy and that’s a trait you either have or you don’t.

Same for parks. That boy has ticker too.

Hate seeing kids that play like they are comfortable and setters, Dow and LOB do that.

In the end just wanted to get to 2-2 no matter how. Thought that was just so important. 1-3 with Port to come would put things in a very different context.

So now we have to expend all energy getting to 3-2. Port will be a tough job, so was Geel at Geel last year. If not for some slightly sloppy defence, we would have beat Port last year and it took Robbie Gray's best to knock us off. Onwards and upwards, these are the games that launch seasons, that's the challenge.

Yes, 3-2 would be nice. How long has it been since we were on the positive side of the W/L ledger?

R11 2016, we were 6-5

Fitness wise, we were all over the Suns in the last quarter. We kept attacking and if 1.7 had been 5.3 we would be singing the praises of Russell and his team. We ran out the game very well I thought.

That's right. We were 0-4, then had this awful looking win against Freo, which made last night look brilliant, and equally $hitty looking win the week after, but it started a run of 6 wins in 7 games where we had wins over Collingwood and Geelong. The value of a $hit win over a honorable loss, it gives belief. 2 wins in a row, some belief, could start something. Hopefully!

Agreed, but 1.7 against good opo will end in tears.

Shawny, he was seen a boom recruit given his draft profile before GWS took him and he will get the extra slack cut his way that
early picks get IMHO. Kennedy is at the other end of the spectrum, blue collar rookie one step away from delisting.
I'd play Kennedy and have always said he has had a rough time selection wise..

Agree he has had a rough run, I’d play him too

But, remember, Kennedy was also a bit of a boom recruit originally

“A member of the Giants' academy program, he was drafted by the Giants with the thirteenth selection in the 2015 AFL draft, matching a bid from Richmond.”
