No thanks to Sullivan. VFL quality who lacks polish.

Gardner constantly trails.

I'd delist him if we could. There has to be better defenders around.

Some pretty dodgy kicking from both teams.

Really good game.

Lots of feeling.

Hawks look to have the answers, I think it will be very close though.
Need to lift in the midfield. West and Sullivan.

Yeah, Sweet seems ready and only emboldens me to wonder out loud how we'd fare with him splitting ruck duties with English on the proviso the latter accepts that spending more time forward might be in the best interests of the team while also giving us a different strategic lever to pull in the middle, particularly against more physical rucks.

Thankfully, it's barely worth fretting about because nobody's sacrificing their game for the greater good.

Yeah, Nah.

Sweet good at HO, but useless around the ground

Re: Second Semi Final Footscray vs Box Hill - Saturday 9 September, 11.30am

Yeah I've seen Sweet get out marked and out bodied by a smaller opponent in the second half of the third and then do that and I don't see what others do.

They wouldn't even be in this game if it wasn't for Sweet.

We could easily have another ruckman performing that well. Doesn't mean each should be played at the highest level.

He's very Will Minson and we have a coach that effectively blanked Will two years after he was an All Australian

Beautiful kick from Khamis.

I really don't like that they haven't got the cameras perched on some scaffolding that's at a decent height.

If it was that easy every VFL program would have a dominant ruck. They don't.

Re: Second Semi Final Footscray vs Box Hill - Saturday 9 September, 11.30am

Sweet HO straight to Hawks in centre and bang Fergus goals.

Whilst Sweet dominates at VFL level in hitouts, around the ground is a problem, plus HTA very low

OK. If Sweet becomes a ruckman at AFL level I'll buy you a Choc Wedge.
