The Handbaggers have 4 players on their injury list? WTF? We have enough to populate a small town. Something is in the water somewhere
For the best part of the last 6yrs or so, this degree of discrepancy has been common. Lions, Adelaide, Tigers are a few that come to mind with few injuries.
I know it's early days, but Moir has a bit of Izak Rankine about him.... we can only hope!
Have you watched him in the 2's? My impression from the broadcast last week was that he ran out of puff. Maybe needs to build his tank. His footy smarts and skills make it look like he has time to size things up. Loads of potential but areas needing attention I expect.
I think it is totally dependant on the game plan Vossy wants to implement. A run and gun game and punish the opposition from turnover Or a contested tough game and punish the opposition in the inside and dominate clearances
Vossys and list make up DNA is gameplan number 2 so need two rucks that assist with clearances and stoppages. Energy spent in contest and winning celaranes
Gameplan one score from turnover - energy spent on run so two rucks won't cut it need more runners.
Trying to mix the two could end in disaster.
If my read on game plan is correct, we've won using both plans this year. That represents the layers Vossy has referred to. Particularly earlier on. It offers important flexibility when the heat is on. Great coaching 👏🏼
Yep it's a strange feeling. Doesn't feel real but we can beat anyone.
We are in the window. Its not a false dawn. It's here people. You need a bit of luck but as we get more players fit and firing towards the back end of the season will dictate how well we go and even then we could potentially still win it.
Anyone anywhere anytime. #blueflaggers!!!
It is weird. It's been such a long time in the making. We've had many many embarrassing years. Yet slowly but surely, the dead wood was pruned and quality leaders were assembled and backed in.
Just watched the replay. Aside from the 2nd q, we were dominant. Albeit very inaccurate with 5 or 6 easy misses. When Giants kicked 5 goals, we kicked 5pts 😳
I think Toby Greene's let his match in little Boydy. Who'd have thought. Boyd is developing extremely well 👏🏼 If not Boyd, Newy's also done a number on him. A couple of our breaks came on the back of Greene's indiscretions. Not an easy player to have the better of. That’s a win.
Charlie has the athleticism to do much more but he doesn't chase hard after an opponent with the ball anywhere near as hard as he chases a loose ball that he thinks he can possess.
His partner in crime does though. Big H laid a couple of super tackles / pressure acts that gave us important opportunities.
