The Moment, Rnd 1 2020 vs Collingwood

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in today's game against Collingwood. Was it the moment that told you 'we've got this' or 'we lost this one right here'? Or was it the moment that you went 'wow....that is crazy courage.'

The lack of effort from the get go. The 'let's give a few things a go' mentality by the match committee.

The moment occurred early, from the opening bounce.
Done. Thread closed?

May as well. To quote Keven Bloody Wilson, “it was over, before it began”.

[Eastdog]

From when the ball first bounced.

Like trying to find a needle in a haystack but Cav's goal put a rare smile on my face tonight.

I’ll take this one as well Mutz. Good moment in a very ordinary night.

Match committee meeting. First bounce.

This best moment all night was seeing Cavarra get his first goal.

Just 2 kicks of the footy in the game sort of counters that for me.
He should have been played in the Marsh games

Is anyone having some doubts about if English is the sort of player to become a top 3 ruck man in the competition?

Nope, as I said in another thread, there is probably only one other ruckman in the AFL that can beat Grundy. Grundy had 100 games more experience than English. English will only get better as he matures, still only 22 and we know the big guys take longer to develop. (not all of them, but the majority)

Yes he should have, but it was the only highlight of the night.

The fact that he didn't outperform when pitted against Mason Cox was a bit of a concern for me. He didn't beat him in marking contests when he was the extra either.
Long term I remain bullish about him being a good ruck man for us but he's got a long way to go at the moment and given our selection criteria he may not get some genuine support along the way. I hope we can work on rebuilding his confidence at last nights performance.

We can't have him as the sole ruckman in a team supported by Young, Bruce, or even Naughton. We must put Trengove in as the support and help Tim.

As for Cox, they were weren't up against each other too many times, so I am not worried about that.

[The Underdog]

I received no joy from this game whatsoever.
