I think with our match schedule we had to get everything perfect and it didn't appear that we did with how we faded out.

I wonder what the coaches are asking him to work on?
An injury to Duryea or Dale or Richards and he’s in. I agree he has looked really composed. His disposal at vfl level has always impressed me. Now he is increasing his possession numbers.

It. Is. Not. Working.
I actually don't care how well he plays in match sim against 2nd tier defenders...against AFL defenders he is not up to it. AS an AFL defender he has proven to be a very useful player....
Probably underdone and shouldn't have been played. Was one of our better players as a forward in the 2021 finals series. I understand why we've persisted we want clean ball users off half back and he's been overtaken.
If we refuse to play Daniel up the ground where does he play?

In the Melbourne game we switched him to half back flank, but didn't do much. I think it was a gamble that didn't pay off last week and he came in early.

I thought he looked overweight last year, perhaps the white jumpers don’t flatter - your thoughts BAd

I think he (JJ) looks a bit overweight this year too.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 2 V St Kilda
I think he just stands weird. Tiny bum plus stands with a bit of paunch which makes him look funny.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 2 V St Kilda
Interesting to hear Bevo state that JJ will play half back at state level, with the idea of him playing back if/when he comes back into the AFL side.
I think for where things sit, going forward, that's the best option for JJ.

There was a guy at training today who referred to some of the players as fat ****ers and I assumed it was you.
