I must be in the minority, but I thought Cordy was pretty good.
Me too... I feel like I watched a different game to others.

I haven’t seen a lot of Khamis. Is he a lockdown type defender, or is he one that gives his opponent no respect and goes wandering ?
If it’s the latter, we certainly don’t want that against Richmond.
From what I saw in the VFL game he is not ready and certainly not ready to play is the No.2 tall.

With Martin, Lambert & Prestia all missing we should own the midfield battle and from there the game should be played on our terms.
And if we're concerned about an out of form Lynch... then they will be having nightmares about Naughton.
That’s the key. We will completely dominate the midfield. Only really worried about the rebound from turnovers in our forward line. Expect to win by 50+

As much as we all want Young to succeed, at this stage Gardner has done the job - so yes we want him back.
Young a massive disappointment last week. Lippa got dropped, did not sulk, and just got on with showing he deserves a spot, whereas, to me Young looked dejected and played that way.
I actually think Gardner would have been a very solid player back in the man on man defence days.
I'm not convinced he's along term answer but he's out second best tall defender of the 2021 list (excluding Naughton who is a forward). We may as well get used to him being our answer for 2022 too as I don't see us trading in a plug and play type given who will be available at the trade table.

Regarding Naughton, I just hope we don’t just bomb hoping Naughton has a night out in the marking stakes. Balta isn’t a hack and I think will do a decent job. What we don’t want is Naughton to pluck 6 marks only to kick 1.5
Naughton plays high and expose Juice to anyone they put on him.
I think they'll try and keep Balta as the deepest defender though.

Oh man we could only be so lucky. Other than seeing whether or not we can convincingly beat a “good” team I’m most intrigued about whether or not we can make Balta cry again.

Balta has improved since Naughton gave him a lesson in contested marking, but I noticed against Melbourne he was completely lost and barely touched the ball.

But he is still without question the biggest sook in the AFL and if Ron can get one or two early it’ll be all over for him.

Balta was playing against his own team? A bit like Lachie Young seemed to be playing against North on Good Friday?
