Yup no Moore nor Daicos helps us fior certain, not sure what we do about Grundy he’ll just take control of the game. Keep our fingers crossed they turn up off the mark and over confident. Go Blues
Yes convincingly too, they thumped the tigers good. Grundy , Pendelbury, Elliot, Thomas, DeGoey and others was very excellent good , ia strong team effort. Harvey has the Pies firing again they we’re awesome in the last quarter. Very scary
Yep reckon Crows will take home the 4 points, our Rucks and midfielders are struggling Sam Walsh aside , the rest are just plodding along, had Levi & a few others been available it have been very close, due to the ground advantage. As it stands , I can’t see it, unfortunately we don’t have the right cattle ready to go , as yet.
Unfortunately their midfield is one are that they'll take us to the cleaners.....Ward, Taranto, Kelly, Whitfield, Hopper, Green etc....all big bodies with superior skills to our collective. That on it's own will be enough to give their forwards plenty more chances than ours.
Spot on agree entirely, any game of footy is won in the engine room.
I am hopwful that Z.Williams improves as he has had a couple of niggles pre-season (calf) and recently an ankle. But yes we are yet to see 800k worth in action
Agree underwhelming, however first year after recruitment is usual like that all three 2020 additions will be fine next year.
What do you think Cripps is worth on 2020/2021 form?
I’ll take Freo’s 1st a top 5 pick (2021 strong draft for quality midfielders) and very soild B youngish player that can give us immediate impact. Free cap space too, so chase another quality Free Agent Midfielder.
I’m expecting Liam Stocker to be in the engine room for short intervals only , the lads needs time yet , as a sweeper intercepting in the back line is we’re he’ll be positioned for most of his ground time. Has a very good leg so will give drive from HB.
If Cripps decides to leave the club , can’t begrudge the guy has given plenty on field throughout his 120 games, and if he can secure his future long term and be close to his family I wish well. The club will be well rewarded should he leave, I’ve got no problem especially as 2021 will be another strong draft , it may be the best for all parties.
Agree on Williamson, other youngsters able to impress during preseason, should be given the opportunity to play at least another game & show their ability to contribute. I’d like to see Kennedy, Stocker, all contenders for a place in the starting 22 really make a case for selection. More involvement & passion is what we need for the 2nds team.
Agree , Eddie & Simmo should follow Matty, the time has come after illustrious careers. List needs tonbe throughly reviewed we’re carrying plenty , Lang , Kennedy, Polson, Silvagni has disappeared?and some players just can’t get on the park. There much to do before presenting a viabile playing list for 2021 campaign. Mitch.McGovern, Curnow Charlie & Caleb Marchbank all three are continuously struggling to get over their injuries and a real concern.
Yup I got it very wrong, called it a bad loss, my bad. Great effort by the boys, yes we were very lucky and Martin and Eddie in crucial moments were just superb today. Hope the positive momentum continues.
Playing against the Cats at their irregular Kardina Park is really unfair, we'll be crunched unfortunately, a top 4 side with home ground advantage is the cruel reality.
