I don't think Harley is coming back That horse has bolted. He's leaving the very best in his wake. That's not a player who will suffer second year blues...unless they come at him with a tank.
What a player he is and will become. I truly hope he plays his whole career at West Coast, if I were them I'd thow the keys to the city at him, literally. Give him a 15 year contract now at a $1M a year.
Saad is very good under pressure, usually finds a target and can alter his decision making and find alternative targets quickly on different angles. I think Boyd is a good kick but is better when he is in the clear and heading forward, for a VFL unknown player I have warmed to Boyd and think he is in our best 22/23 and happy to give Austin a tick for his recruiting.
As have I, all I'm saying is to my eye, his kicking isn't elite.
I think Boyd has a done a decent job in filling in for Saad and even Cincotta defensively but we miss that rebound and accurate kicking that Saad provides as it breaks up the play and those quick switches across ground often lead to thrusts forward where our big key forwards can be one out.
Defensively he has shown desperation and a willingness to defend dourly (as per his effort to cop a kick in the face v the Swans). His kicking, IMO, is not as elite as its made out to be.
Swans would argue Heeney/Warner were being held most of the time as well and I think this is why umps dont bother calling these frees...
Agree, I think the holding and blocking at stoppages happens on both sides, it has to be very bad to be paid. What I won't cop is the over the shoulder and head high contact of fwds, Harry and Charlie copped quite a few and didn't get one free. Not that it would have made a difference to the shellacking we copped, just saying.
Be handy if we could get Motlop and Saad back this week. In Saad Motlop Cowan Binns Wilson Out Williams Durdin Fantasia Marchbank O Hollands Chuck Binns on Ollie's wing, Wilson the sub Obviously if Weiters doesnt get up, bring Young in for him. Those ins could not possibly do any worse than what those I would drop dished up.
If the American judicial system wasn't so broken and corrupt, this discussion wouldn't even be happening.
If the American judicial system wasn't so broken, they'd have wings in prisons just for presidents and ex-presidents. Biden would be in a cell with Trump and Obama on either side. Clinton in the cell after that.
Trump has a record of lying as long as your arm. He has lawsuits and scandals coming out of his ar$e. He is 4 years younger than Biden. As if he's some kind of mentally sharp and agile young thinker.
I'm not a fan of either. Biden has done a few good things, although admittedly the bar in the US is set pretty low.
Biden is the world biggest embarrassment of a leader, I'd be ashamed to call him my President. Shouldn't be in charge of a Milk Bar let alone a country. Despite all his faults, gimme Trump every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
