Round 15 - Other Matches

Re: Round 15 - Other Matches

Role players that lot. Barnard carved out a good career, as did Nick Davis.
Don't think that second ruck role suits Dawes, as they miss Leigh Brown more than people imagine.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Second ruck is a tough gig, as we saw with Minson throughout Hudson's reign as number one ruck for us.

Brown, Cloke and Dawes in the same side proved you can play tall up forward, as long as your talls have small support and a strong first ruck to shoulder the majority of the load.

Let's see how it plays out if they meet eachother in the finals Eastdog, my man!

True. It may well be a different result. Do you think jeemak that Carlton will make the finals.

Yarran is simply awesome to watch in full flight.

Amazing that Collingwood could be 5th by the end of the round.

It is such a tight season. There is no real standout. Carlton will be very satisfied beating Collingwood twice. The premiership winner will be the team that has the form come the business end of the season.

This is the one season I can remember where coaches have openly spoken not just about winning but smashing sides to get there percentage up. Normally we get the "it's just good to get the 4 points, they're a quality side blah blah blah", but not this year.

Percentage in a season like this is very important.

Costly loss by Norf. Threw away a 6 goal lead. How massive was Cox in that last 10 minutes? Reminded me of the Dogs v Eagles game at Etihad last year when Cox single-handedly got them over the line.

Listening to Grandstand he appeared to massive in the last half and serviceable in the first half.

He is a superstar player.

Re: Round 15 - Other Matches

Robbie Tarrant is starting to finally put it together. He was nearly a doggies player, if he had been available at the Ward pick at 19. He was picked by North at pick 15.
We picked Jarryd Grant with a Clayton first round special.

Re: Round 15 - Other Matches

Just watched the second half and Cox was incredible( I thought you tip over the edge past 30?)
Priddis was also pivotal, and in the end the Eagles missed chances to win by more.
For all those writing off Jones, I hope they took notice of Tarrant's game.Been in the system for since 08

Tarrant has missed a season with injuries to his shoulders a few seasons back.

He did, but got written off. The point I'm making is patience is required and in particular key position players.
