Quote from: rocky on
Has anyone in the media mentioned WHY Ray has been afforded the luxury of not having to bounce the ball at centre bounces?

It should be questioned because the 'perfect elevation' is going to advantage some ruckmen over others. With his height and physical presence, I'm sure Gawn loves to know exactly where the ball is going. The advantage of the bounce is that it can be slightly unpredictable which means that dominant ruckmen have to second guess what is going to happen.  Easy answer, if we keep the bounce, the best bouncer of the 4 umpires bounce it every time.

Hollands and Dow both did their jobs tonight, (Dow 80% efficiency) but I think they must make way for Cerra and Walsh. Both in the absolute heat of battle just weren't quite able to stand up. Hollands will get there and Dow will always be susceptible to pressure. Offer him another 1 year deal and see how much   he wants to stay.     Otherwise an EXCELLENT night at the office!

I can see Docherty as the 7th defender, Acres on the wing with Cotrell rotating with he and Hollands........and Cuningham and Fogarty adding pressure up forward and on the ball.  Good seeing Membrey on the sidelines, one less tall up forward and I think there is still some doubt over King. If he does play, I doubt he'll be cherry ripe after the layoff and no run in the twos.
