One thing I noticed about Lord is that he was often by himself with no opponent within cooee 🤔

Only time you really wanna do that is if you want that player to get the ball because you think he'll turn it over back to you.


Well that backfired then didn't it.

Cooper Lord 24 disposals (18 kicks) at 95.8% :D

What a game by the boys in blue. Not what I was expecting.

The confidence, ball movement and use was not something we're used to seeing.

The difference seems to be that the speed was planned and thought out, rather than frenetic bash and crash randomness.  Also they seem to know when to control the ball.

Our 10yo came out of their room to tell us to be quiet!

We have Kemp Harry McGovern as key forwards with haywood as a mid marking forward so imo we are probably a tad tall with that line up - reckon we could get by with 2 talls and using another mid marking forward then either kemp or mcgovern would be the depth key forward.

Its not easy to have quality key positions depth capable of performing impacting just sitting idle playing 2nds footy waiting for their chance.

No list is perfect and sure ours is not but imo its not anywhere near as bad as some make it out to be.

Gov isn't contracted for next year, and based on some comments a couple weeks ago, is far from guaranteed to get one.

Hayward is playing some time further up the ground.

So again, if we lose Harry and Kemp.....we might not have Gov....and we might hurt our midfield to solve the forward problem.

Not sure how many games that would get you in the win column.....but i'm tipping the 'sack fraser' rumblings would start (unwarranted i might add) if that was the case.

I just want a list that is not built like a house of cards. Take the wrong one out, and it all collapses very quickly.
