Watching the game and have missed each of our first 4 goals when i vhanged channels to check the Melbourne game.
f*** the melbourne game.
But maybe check back often in the 2nd half.
Edit: ACtually, you need kayo sports, it has split screen of up to 4 screens at once. As well as PIP. Was very handy during the F1. I had the normal screen, the timing screen and an individual driver screen. Was awesome!
I too see shortcomings in Bolton's unwillingness to 'stop' certain opposition players....
Ed C. and Kennedy the most likely but if you stop certain players having a real, ongoing influence, you can effectively stop the opposition....
Jones on Westhof? As for ed Curnow as a forward? why?
I'm starting to think that we are trying to find roles for players we have, rather than find players for the roles we have.
That is, if Ed is no longer needed in the midfield, perhaps he's no longer needed at all. Perhaps we can find a HFF who is better than Curnow in the same position.
Brianna Davey, Kerryn Harrington, Gab Pound and Madison Prespakis were all named by the AFL last night as being in the squad of 40.
The team of 21 players, including a captain and vice-captain, will be announced at the W awards on Tuesday 2 April.
Well done to the girls.
I'm especially pleased that Gab Pound made the squad as i think her contributions are largely overlooked. She has been solid since game 1, season 1. Her game has gone up a notch this year, but still goes unrecognised most weeks. Not sure she'll make the team, but good luck to her and all the girls.
You're kidding if you think Polson would have made the difference. We had many, many passengers.
Fas wasn't the only bloke who looked like he hadn't played for 5 years and looked completely at sea. Newman, E Curnow, Simpson, Murphy, Thomas and Cripps kept us in it. Nice Cameos from a few and about a dozen were non-hackers.
Playing Polson wouldn't have won us the game. But playing him wouldn't have hurt.......like playing fas did. Every man and his dog knew Fas was rusty. Play him in the 2's to get rid of the rust.
Soon as Richmond got the ball from a scrimmage in defence their players run forward in numbers setting up a mark in F50. Why don't we do that when we have it. We have had 4 F years!!!
Which is why i was saying we need a player like Polson in the team. Someone who almost gets enjoyment out of pressuring, chasing tackling the opposition. Compared to our 2 FPs (Fas and Gibbons) who have been a non event.
As i said in the pre-match, no point having 2 dedicated FPs if you can't get the ball down there or keep it there when you do.
