Yes, most young players are the same, fans don't see it because they watch them when the ball is around or when they are in camera shot which is always around the footy.

What we missed from Owies was what happens when we don't have the footy and it's not in the immediate zone. Being basketball background he's always moving to take space away from the opposition or to create space and provide an option to one of our ball carriers even if he is on the wrong side of the ground.

Motlop, Honey, Carroll and others tend to stop and watch what is happening then head off when they have decided where the footy is going, Owies and more experienced heads are pre-emptive, they think about what might happen next and immediately work to alter the outcome in our favour, they do not just do work in their own favour.

That is why fans see players like Owies or Durdin crumbing in the goal square one minute, and defending on the last line 60s later, but the fans don't put 2 and 2 together, instead they'll bitch and moan if Owies or Durdin are beaten in a contest on the last line!

Obviously haven't watched the replay but how often was Cerra in the middle? Looked to me at the ground he was playing wing.

Wondered the same thing. Why wasn't he in the heat? Ditto Fisher, who's been ripping it up on ball.

We beat Dockers - best win of the season.   Saints beat us,  their best win of the season.   Dockers beat Saints.

Trying to work all this out - come up with we stuffed up badly last week.

Our 9 goals 17 tells the story well enough against St. Kilda.

100%, 3 Leos. And it's no more complicated than that.

That was not luck.  That was a team absolutely switched on, focussed, organised and ruthless. 

Once we find a way to bring that each and every week,  we will be serious flag contenders.

Yes, but we still got lucky.

Freo played into our hands. We were very light on down back and they failed to exploit that.

They carried Fyfe who was clearly underdone in his first game back, and I'm not sure Freo's manic game style does it's slow moving giants any favours.

We aren't talking about guys who are as mobile as BigH or Charlie, we are very lucky, even TDK, SoJ, Cripps and Young have their talls well covered for mobility.

It's easy to take what we see from BigH or Charlie for granted, but they are exceptional and we should not forget it! I suspect the only KPD capable of going with Charlie, when Charlie is on, might be TDK's brother SDK! Would it be unreasonable for Carlton to use some of it's KPP currency to reunite the brothers at seasons end?
