    Question Three things you've learnt round 15 2022 v Hawthorn

    Golly it's round 15 already. This week I've found out how quickly time flies these days.

    Tell us three things you've learnt tonight.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    1. Weightman probably should have been rested.
    2, Aaron Naughton is very protective of his headband.
    3. With more aggression Josh Schache could be a very valuable player, certainly has the ability.

    1. West is becoming a real threat. Offers plenty offensively and defensively at the moment.

    2. Crozier is cooked and McNeil isn't up to it. Add McComb but I knew these things already. I hope our MC realise it.

    3. Libba is still king. What a player.

    1. Sicily is still a flog

    2. Libba is so important to the team

    3. Three pronged Talls is working

    Schache certainly showed more aggro tonight, marking, in ruck duels and even strong sticking tackles. But I've seen it before so fear it is fool's gold - sigh!

    1. Our backline continues to be our Achilles heel.
    2. Sign West for 4 years
    3. When Libba is on, he’s an unstoppable beast
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    Crozier has been cooked for 2 years so it was a surprise he was picked. McComb it is staggering he still in the team.

    1. West is a gem playing a role he is not really made for. A midfield spot beckons;

    2. Libba is a gun! Still has guts, determination and above all the ability to find, extract and move the pill along;

    3. JUH had a really good game and could have been better had he kicked straight

    1. JJ still has something to offer our team. I had him gone at the end of the year.

    2. JUH is getting fitter and bigger. Now he is able to play the CHF role and not fade as the game wares on

    3. What I don’t know is why have our starts to games become so poor? It use to be a strength. It’s cost us 3 games at least this year.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    1. Libba is our barometer

    2. Starting to get a glimpse of jamarras potential now - the marks, ground work etc. needs a bigger tank and bit more bulk

    3. Rhylee West has arrived. If I squint I could swear I’m watching his old man when he is in traffic

    It's one of Bevo's whacky tactics!

    1. Modern football jumpers tear easily.

    2. Rhylee West is the 2022 Clay Smith (with an added touch of Libba).

    3. We had four talls forward at times in the last quarter. O’Brien could be our Billy Duckworth come finals.
    Worth keeping as an option.

    1. Sweet is growing on me. Doesn’t a great deal around the ground but is a good tap ruckman. Again the question is can we play English and Sweet together?

    2. Leading on from 1. our tall options are an interesting conundrum. With JUH and Schache starting to play decent footy what happens to the team if they keep this form up? Where does Bruce fit in if once he is match fit? English/ Sweet/ Schache ruck options? Can Schache play in defence again if we are struggling down back? What about English can he play in defence (I say no but is this an option)? We can’t play all these options but in a way a good problem to have - our defence is definitely one good KPP from being good.

    3. Scott continues to get better and better. The fact he can play multiple positions is a big tick for him being best 22.
