    Re: Will Mitch Wallis succumb to our 'leading goalkicker' curse?

    Maybe Mitch can start wearing the #19 and the curses can cancel each other out.

    I have contacted Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. They have pooled their vast resources and are working on a solution that has the potential to benefit all of humanity.

    Great post - interesting conversation. I thought he looked way off it on Monday but I also thought in general the delivery into the forward line was awful and the setup every time the ball came in was too.

    I have huge confidence he’ll work hard and find a way to make his role valuable this year. Time will tell of course.

    It's our latest curse that needs breaking. We beat a prelim curse and a dud brother curse which were tough ones, but we need to recognise this voodoo for what it is.
    So what we need is a constructive year from Mitch Wallis including playing in winning finals and a major goal kicker in a winning GF.

    That would beat the curse!!

    I would be onboard for that.

    The only way we win the GF is if JUH plays - it took a no 1 pick last time to have the game of his life.

    Every year I write Mitch off and every year he finds a way to contribute.

    I do worry about our forward set-up with Bruce/Naughton/English/Wallis and I think that if Hannan gets himself fit or Cavarra finds form, both would be preferable to Wallis from a skill set point of view.

    I think Mitch is up against it, which means he'll probably be our most consistent player.

    Mitch has high football acumen. Its almost the single most important trait when playing forward when you're under 190cm.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Not sure tonight made much of a case that Mitch can break the curse. Our entries don't help of course but he just couldn't find any separation and was pretty much a non factor.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Collingwood flooding back didn't help it was very congested in our forward half.
    Had one look front and square for a behind and dropped one on the lead.
    Hard to tell on the Tele but we did seem to just bomb it in on occasions which just helped out Moore and Howe.

    Why? Mitch didn't impact the scoreboard against the Pies, but his first half especially was one of hard work. Handballs to space, pressure on the ball carrier. To me Mitch's game was better than most give him credit for. I don't think Cavarra could have brought that to the game. Hannan? He is s different player entirely.

    Thought he seemed to get up higher, and create some space behind him for the big boys. Actually noticed him more visibly defending, which hasn't been his greatest strength.

    Wallis actually got a few good looks on Friday night. He had a couple of deep one out contests he would normally win, one against Quaynor he took space early but grassed the mark.

    Also got missed on the lead a couple of times. If he keeps working hard it will turn for him I think. He is a selfless player I just hope he doesn’t feel the pressure and go away from his selfless style.
