Could they not do that while we have the bye?
I'd have him straight in if fit. Can't be any less productive than our smaller forwards at the moment.
Yes, forgot about that.

Only Fitzroy 1943 and the Dogs 1951 have been lower at 101.9 and 101.4 respectively.

Is that right, I didn't realise. Is that why the man on the mark was standing at the top of the square?
UPDATE I Just watched the replay and it was given a behind (score changed from 84 to 85)
UPDATE OF THE UPDATE Boyd kicked a point and they didn't add a behind (score corrected)
After Boyd kicked his point the scoreboard went down for a few seconds then came back the same score to cover for the error when they gave Charlie's brainfade a point. Heard that on SEN this morning.

If Elijah Hollands comes in, who does he take the place of?
I'm not certain he comes in because i'm not certain players playing a similar position deserve to be dropped.
Young -> Weitering
Owies/Fantasia -> Martin
Thats about it i reckon.
Reckon they might give Martin a run through the twos first.
Anyway, time will soon tell.

I have never seen that happen before despite numerous incidents that were similar.A first for me too. If he didn't get his foot to it, it was unfortunately a free kick.

I thought Richmond almost beat us at our own game (fast ball movement) with TO's and errors thwarting it.
I thought Cripps was huge as was TDK, Gov, H and Kemp. Whilst I felt Young did very well on Lynch, who was gifted two goals from horrible frees), I still think he seems to panic. Kemp was undersized and solid and managed to redeem his TO when Rich was coming with same game saving efforts in the dying minutes.
I still dont rate Boyd, I am yet to see this elite kicking. His general field kicking is no better than any one on our list.
Special Mention: Jack Carroll, growing into a fine player before our eyes. Keep going son.
Matty Cottrell should be our set shot coach. As Dunstall always says, run straight, drop straight and you kick straight, Cotters is the epitome of this IMO. He has a beautiful kicking action and many on our list should look to him for advice (that's you Kempy).
H was big and powerful, what a game from the big fella.
Tiges beat by by 21 in contested possessions. That alot considering it was our strength. They easily outscored us from stoppages, again our strength. By contrast, we scored well on transition, which we don't always do.

Just an explanation. Stephen Kernahan was a player you could rely on as a key forward and leader. Levi Casboult would take strong marks and you would hold your breath while he shot for goal. He was a good player. Sticks was a great player. When McKay started I thought he could be like Kernahan but over the past few seasons he has kicked like Casboult. This season he has played like the leader and quality player I thought he would be. It is really not that difficult to understand.
Sticks wasn't always the best kick either. Those helicopters were special....lol.

I didn't realize Charlie's goal review was ruled holding the ball and we got no score.
Yes. you could hear the umpire in the background saying if it's not a goal it's a free kick.

Hence why I was a little worried still last night. There's enough there to command alot of respect.

Other than Weitering the rest have to come back through the VFL.
E.Hollands will start, he's trained all the way through.
