I don't understand the hostility towards Orazio.

Me too!

He was an important contributor again, but he does need to make more of his goal scoring opportunities. 

He is a smart footballer who makes good position and works hard to support his teammates but doesn’t perform spectacular individual efforts; classic qualifications for whipping boy 😕

Strange move from Hinkley imo and I thought Wines contributed well early when not in the ruck but tired when he went in the ruck and that move helped us both in the ruck contests and around the clearances.

Dixon is too banged up to move out of the forward 50 but why didn’t Marshall do more?

Apart from reducing his impact, rucking Wines allowed us to use Kennedy and Cripps to support Tom and Harry and they’re both used to taking ruck contests.

Hinkley would have been better off playing Finlayson and giving Dixon another week off.

So for that we would need to win all the remaining games (12). I know we won 13 in a row last year but that's just not gonna happen again.
Positions 2-4 are wide open this year - we need to take the opportunity when we play Ess, Geel, PA (again), Coll, GWS to knock them down a notch.  And win the other winnable games well.

Sydney can have top spot - they still have to come to the 'G for the big dance, regardless of how far ahead they are on the ladder....

I reckon he really does believe that he did nothing wrong and has probably never done anything wrong in his life … and Hannibal Lecter will back him up.

What a strange democracy that prevents convicted felons from voting but allows them to be the president!  I guess that the archaic constitution retains the 18th century focus on limiting suffrage to “decent” citizens.

I reckon sooner rather than later, Orazio is going to hit the scoreboard hard in a game at turn it. He has the ability, he and Fog do "things".
Watched Fogarty's game closely last night - I think it is no coincidence that our forward line has looked far more dangerous since he came back last week.  Good overhead for a little guy, and does the in-close stuff so well.  And his tackles stick.......

I actually noticed him a bit more last night than I have all year.
10 touches...if he'd kicked that goal and maybe another one we'd probably be saying that wasn't a bad small forward game.
But he didn't, and was eventually subbed out so...

If Motlop can have a good game in the VFL he's probably out of the side.
He might be out anyway....

The forward line is an area where it's going to be difficult to fit them all in.
Williams isn't going back... ever.
3.2 last night but...
It's not just the goals he's kicking, it's his positioning and blocking that's making a real difference.
