Main ones:
15 touches, 7 Marks (2 not legit), only 1 Tackle, and just 9 Pressure Acts - but 6 turnovers from his Disposals with goals from them. Goals to opponents is at least 3. Likely more.
He just couldn’t handle Schache.

As good as Allir's intercept marking is, his disposal is *!*!*!*!ing horrendous.
Josh did a sterling job on him tonight.
Don't think there have been many 200cm defensive forwards to ever play the game.

He’s going to potentially have Lever in the GF. A better opponent but he’s coming in chock full of confidence.

Re: Time to pull the Liam Jones move.
Super happy for Josh, but to be honest part of the reason why he was able to do what he did to Allir was because they were his instructions and he executed them in line with the team doing the right thing for him and the other forwards.
Not enough coaching teams and players have done what we did to Allir tonight properly, when it seems pretty obvious that's how he needs to be played.
Back to Josh, what I was really happy with is it seemed he didn't feel satisfied with only just doing a job on Allir. He presented really well and when it was his time he took marks and gave himself chances to kick goals.
His shots weren't necessarily easy, though I would have thought someone of his quality by foot could have converted at least one more. But getting the opportunities is the main thing for him.
He's getting better and I'm really happy for him, if he can take another step in a fortnight I'll be even more so.

Looking forward to seeing that smug prick and his stupid moustache demoralised by the Shack Attack.

Imagine May doesn't get up and he has to actually defend. His whole angry bus driver from on the buses shtick and self flagellation at every turn makes me puke.
He's an A grade troglodytic choad sniffer and his crumpled carcass on the deck after we steal their dreams Kruger style will give me some completely unhealthy satisfaction.

I hope May does get up because if Naughton attacks the ball like he did tonight May will tear that hammy of the bone trying to keep up!
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Absolutely. Posturing of the highest order these past couple of days. May's *!*!*!*!ed.

Re: Time to pull the Liam Jones move.
Allir was under constant pressure and it got to his head. It manifested in his poor kicking and timing of his mark. The team worked well to completely ruin his game, especially Josh, just forcing those errors.
Imagine having 200cm ,100KG forward breathing down your back and outmuscling you. I hope Schache can turn on beastmode for the whole GF game and just scare the crap out of opposition players. His got a few more levels to go.

Re: Time to pull the Liam Jones move.
Bevo smiling when talking about Josh. Bevo says we’ve not had a genuine swing man KPP utility, but we have that now in Josh. Gives us extra height forward and back which is an advantage. Also great to see the media giving him some love.

He also said ‘if’ Schache plays forward!
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: Time to pull the Liam Jones move.
I reckon its you Comrade, me and a couple of others who’d have said Schache plays in a GF in defence. Enjoy the glory.
