Roger that, I noted at one point he had the highest distance covered out of all players on the field. Dunno if he finished up with the highest but he is an impressive lad.
Watching the replay today, I figured out he reminds my of ol mate Hoops in the way he runs and his kicking action.

I was beginning to like Hollands too and then you had to mention the Houlihan comparison......😒

Much as it pains me to say it ...but credit where it's due, Cameron was outstanding, and not just with his goalkicking. He worked both ends of the field with his run and picked up a lazy 25 disposals. One passage where he started the play on one side of the ground and ran to the other side to receive was an example of his work ethic.
We probably  would have won easily if he hadn't been there.

I recall him being quite upset when outmarked by Charlie when he drifted back to create a two on one at CHB.  His work ethic is outstanding.

Hollands’ disposal isn’t as silky as Hoops’ was and Hoops wouldn’t have run half that distance 🙂

Saad was superb.

Very much so - also impressed by the times that he dribbled the ball at his feet, rather than having a wild kick off the ground

My son and I disagreed on this when we saw it last night. He thought there was nothing stopping a ruckman raising a knee to his opponent even if he doesn’t jump. I told him that the umpire missed it and should have given Stanley a free. My son has done a fair amount of rucking and I haven’t but surely you can’t do a Muay Thai knee strike to put your opponent out of the contest.

At 5 foot 10 I have never rucked but what is the line for if you are allowed to cross it to take away the opponent's run?

I pointed that out at the time, Should've been a free kick every day of the week and for whatever reason it was completely missed.
Not only that but he took his eyes off the ball to find his opponent, which should also be a free.

They all played their role. I wouldn't be dropping Jack.

I'm not sure if it is a free anymore, I see it all the time. I know it was a free in 1999 as I have watched a particular game about 300 times.

Tom should have got a free for blocking; Stanley ran straight into his knee.

Jack’s role was tall forward, not ruck.  Compare him with Charlie and Harry, not Pitto and Tom.

I wouldn’t be dropping him.  Our forward line worked better when he was playing.

Silvagni also missed the last quarter...so his stats would have been better.
I just feel watching him that he's a bit out of sorts.
His touch seems a bit off and he's missing marks he normally takes.
I don't know whether he was injured, if he was subbed off without injury that's probably a bit of an indicator he's on the fringe.
Pittonet needs game time more than anything else at the moment.

Most ruckmen look at their opponent.  That was a feature of Matty K’s ruckwork and he will be passing that on to his ruck team.
