How many Outside Mids do we Pick?

Re: How many Outside Mids do we Pick?

We play the best players in the positions which suit them best (JJ at HB, Bont in the middle, LIbba in the middle etc) and then look at the gaps and consider whether having West play as a forward pocket is better than Charlie Clarke as a forward pocket or Gardner as a full back is better than Khamis as full back.

Hoping that best players in best positions doesn't leave too many gaps.

Re: How many Outside Mids do we Pick?

FWIW Kingggy was sitting near me the other day and one of his concerns are our group of small forwards/ high half forwards and the fact outside of Cody(flys for marks too often) none of them are basically specialists at the role.

Nothing we haven't discussed but I thought it was worth mentioning it in this thread.

Probably our biggest issue. We seem to get the ball in our fwd 50 enough but our conversion of inside 50?s to goals is poor. Delivery is one issue but not having quality crumbers is another. We need Clarke to come on in leaps and bounds. Hopefully others can fill the void.

I went to the final in Perth (obviously) and the two in Melbourne...but didn't go to Sydney.

Why do I continuously feel like I somehow missed the main event? The problem was, I had to choose between going to the Giants game and probably having to miss the GF or risk us losing the PF in order to secure GF flights etc...I mean, I know it's the Dogs but I do have a budget of some sort...

It's very strange. That game was so unique, therr was a feeling you never get for dogs games and it was "we are the big dogs in town". We took over West Sydney.
There was certainly an air of destiny about those weeks after the Hawks game.
It was probably the best game I've ever been to. The GF was like another world I can barely remember it.

That game however, I nearly recall every moment. Getting over the prelim hoodoo was so huge especially for gen x peeps like me.

Getting over the prelim hoodoo was so huge especially for gen x peeps like me.

From 1985 to 2010 we lost 7 consecutive PF's - we were hammered in some and lost by a kick in others, and they were all shit. It was massive to get over this hoodoo in 2016, and was pivotal in our premiership triumph a week later when the flag was very much on the line in the last 10 minutes.

Not too sure. Wingmen are one of our biggest weaknesses
