- Vision of Saad sagging back to defend the goal line instead of defending is man, tidy that up and that goal doesnt occur
King highlighted this after the match, and i thought it was a bit rich (and again, an example of cherry-picking clips to prove a pre-made point).... how does King know this isnt the instruction - drop off the back and play goal-keeper??? Plenty of teams do it. he just got burnt due to his man getting the clearance and kicking the goal
Glaringly obvious that we have one of the shallowest midfields in the competition....Cripps, Walsh, Curnow and then not much else...after all these years of drafting young midfielders.
Im still pretty glass-half-full.... Fwd line will look better with Charlie, McGov, Fisher and with H, Martin and JSOS fully fit. Backline will sort itself out, there are some good names back there.
But, yes, the midfield is a worry. As stated above, outlside of those 3 (Cripps, Curnow, Walsh), who else to you lock in there?? Surely 1 or 2 of Dow, Setterfield, Obrien, Kennedy, SPS, Cunningham, Williams, should have stamped themselves the next in line by now. We really need to get a couple of decent midfielders in via trade over the offseason
Brisbane have gone well past us but I'll reserve my opinion on Essendon.....still relying on unpredictable types like Stringer to win them games and I dont think Merrett, Parish, Heppell, Shiel etc are my idea of a finals winning midfield setup.
Yeah, lets not overreact to Cheats success yet. Getting a lot of press, but you would expect that, with how many pro-Cheats media there are
Just can’t watch footy anymore. Ling an Co drive me nuts.
I used to listen to 3LO and watch....
But then you will miss being told 15 times what geniuses the swans are for playing a few young blokes (cause no other team has ever done that), or 20 times about what a great influence don pyke has been
“Worked him under”. “Nudged him into the contest”. Why do we hear these comments the most v swans (used to be hawks as well) Any danger of the umpires calling it, or is tunnelling now legal?
Can’t believe we are getting the umpiring v the AFL darlings, on their home deck (although a few cripps holds off the ball would be nice). Can’t last, surely
H has a quiet day but still slots 2 critical goals.
He has that FF knack. Play a shocker, but still snag a few. Earlier in the year he had a couple of average games where he kicked 4. Great to see!!! Combine those with the days out where he kicks 7 or8 and we’ve got a champ
