I fear Moir is going to struggle under our faster game style, he seems best suited to the older stoppage / marking game style where he could be the 3rd man up in the contest.

To persist he really needs to make better use of his ambidextrous capabilities, if anything he seems to have gone backwards in that regard.

They had kayo on in the rooms and watched Cripps' video at half time.
Cripps gets his arms free because of his size, he rarely breaks or shrugs a tackle to run off.

Our lot weren't able to hold onto opponents, the ferals were breaking completely free, and we couldn't do the same in return.

We do look fitter this season, but maybe under the current regime our strength is going backwards.

I had the wrong Hollands out, E not O
For some reason, I thought Newman was suspended but its been brought to my attention he is available so he needs to come in also.

Newey’s suspension is up but he has only played limited minutes in two VFL practice games.  I suspect that he will be underdone.

He is in his last few seasons imo - considering where this list is we just have to get games into Moir, Campo brothers, Flynn Young  this season. We cant waste this year playing too many of the older blokes at the expense of kids. I know its a balance but the likes of Hynes, Newman, McGovern, Saad cannot be automatic ins anymore.

The PSA blood test is 100000% more effective than old cucumber fingers.  An recent advances in prostate imaging have been a game changer.

I have an old school doctor and he says the PSA is important but only tells half the story and he still recommends the physical exam as well to provide a full prostrate check.

I hate the physical one and a lot of my friends say what you did that the PSA is all thats needed so i always wonder do i need it.

I trust my doctor but he is a bit stubborn and getting a worse on certain things.

No doubting Moir's ability, but I wonder if he was dropped for his defensive efforts.

I think Flynn Young will surprise a few.

Thought the same thing. There was one glaring contest where Moir pulled up before a marking contest assuming the opponent would take the mark... he didn't and Moir missed an important opportunity. Slack, very slack.

100% agree re Flynn Young. This kid doesn't waste an opportunity and his disposal skills are sharp.
