If both rucks play well (not just taps) they can fit in.

Showing your age Jim😉🤐...yep Frosty Miller did play for the Blues and went on to be a star VFA player for Dandenong and has the goalkicking award in the VFL named after himself. Left footer from memory who kicked torps and along with his little leftie mate Pat Flaherty made my life as a Preston supporter miserable as a kid...

Lemmey looks a better player down back and maybe a chance to make a Key defender, won the ball well and used it ok for a big fella although his opponent from the WAFL who has a famous VFA name in Jimmy Miller had a decent game too.

The two rucks worked exactly as the match committee desired today.
Can they repeat consistently ?

So, in the third term leak aliir was off for a substantial period and that's when we did our damage. 

Orazio played his best game in navy.  Might not have troubled the stats sheet but his leadership (constant direction and chatter) as well as work rate (particularly during our surge) was good.  He's probably first cab out when we get motlop back but don't underestimate his value.  He linked up well a couple of times and when we were blazing away he lowered his eyes and hit up targets a couple of times leading to scores.  He's not winning games himself but the usual suspects are going to perform when the Indians like Boyd, fantasia, durdin cotters, acres do the basics well and just keep giving the main events of cripps, McKay, curnow, Walsh, etc the impetus to impose themselves without having to worry about the others.

Also big kudos to voss.  Gws I think kicked 5 in a row in the second term and they made the call to drop curnow back when our defense was all at sea.  He didn't exactly do much but take one steadying mark, but it turned the game into an arm wrestle again and killed thr gws momentum.  We scored the next goal and he went forward again.  It just basically made them second guess what to do and they lost momentum.

Psychologically this was extremely important particularly as he was having a bit of an off day to that point.  A lot of fans around me couldn't work out why he decided to do it, but I thought it's not a bad idea.  It also has the effect of opening up our forward line and pushing a ruck forward and letting Charlie have a gallop.

OK, question is....can we hold on from here or will Giants run us down late?

We are riding a confidence wave right now, but it won't last forever.

The Fantasia selection is taking the p...
