Tell us three things you have learned tonight.
Bump
1. Crozier is comfortably our best medium/tall defender. He's the new 2016 Easton Wood, takes hangers, intercept marks, smothers, tackles, runs hard all day.
2. English played on the best ruck and acquitted himself well. Was never going to win the hit outs, but racked up some good marks and disposals numbers around the ground with a direct goal assist.
3. 17th in the Comp for goal kicking accuracy is shitful. But we are consistent year in and year out with no signs things will change.
1. Until we reign in our turnovers, we will never be the team we should
2. until we capitalise better on the plethora of opportunities we create, we will never be the team we should.
3. If Naughton can influence as a tall, regularly as a 2nd year tall, why do we give Schache a pass to be so timid?
1. Tim English was outstanding for where he is in his career. A full game effort against the best ruck in the comp by far. Competed well in 3.5 qtrs, took marks, played well at ground level and competed admirably
2. Bailey Smith is getting better each week. Still looks rushed when he has the footy but he’s slowly looking more composed and imposing himself more
3. Bont is leading the brownlow at this stage of the year. Long year but outstanding to date
1. The forward 40 is just doing my head in . The entry and when it gets in.
Just Fix it FFS ! Enough !
2 . Apparently according to the experts on social media Bont is overrated! Just shows how many dimwits are on that forum
3 . Brian Taylor is a complete idiot , but we already knew that
1. Naughton surprised me again. How good is he? He could be anything?
2. Crozier. Apologies for bagging you early last year. Just keeps getting better and that mark was out of this world and it was right in front of us.
3. We are dysfunctional across half forward. Shocking decision making. We need a genuine crumbing small forward.
1. We made out like bandits drafting Naughton and Smith where we did.
2. There's not much Crozier can't do.
3. I don't know who, but there NEEDS to be changes this week.
1. Crozier. I owe him an apology. I bagged him early on. But he is a Damn good player.
2 The Bont has been our best player this year and he kept us in the game.
3 We need to improve our delivery inside 50.
I learnt Bont is a gun but at the moment his flaw is his goal kicking, if he kicks the ones he is supposed to we win both games.
2 He isn’t the only one missing easy goals.
3 We have some very good players on the way up.
It's good to see English getting some acknowledgement here. I thought he fought hard through what would've been a humiliating smashing in the hitouts, especially when your ideal position is the ruckman and your getting beaten time and tume again. English never dropped his head once and started to influence the game around the ground where he could. Grundy was awesome but with that much dominance in the hitouts his midfielders didn't have it all their way. Grundy had a 8 tackles which is outstanding for a ruckman but again to Tim's credit he had 6 tackles. English deserves credit where credit is due even when he was soundly defeated in the hitouts.
1. It's a game like that you can't afford not one passenger let alone two. I'm looking at you Schache and Gowers. Just something out of these two and we win.
2. Naughton's confidence is growing by the minute. He is going to be something really special and soon.
3. We are not that far off being a genuine top 8 contender, but until we get our conversation rate where it should be we will continue to come up short.
1. Dicko is effective in space and a beautiful kick but he's lost touch in close in pressure situations. Scrambled a number of opportunities to score throughout the match. Lippa needs to come in for him.
2. We are a top 8 team.
3. Bailey Smith moves like a young Brad Johnson out there.
