I expect us to be a finals team this year hence why Im lifting the bar.Finals teams win when there is a system in place they believe in, know inside out, trust and execute it week in week out. IMO we aren't there yet, we are still either defining/finding that system or learning it. For that reason, and based on what I have seen, I reckon we are still middle of the road. Will win some and lose some.

Ross and Lloyd talk game
Carlton defenders take note. It will be interesting to discuss post-match.
Thanks for the link
Lyon far too often talks in clipped, idiosyncratic speech patterns IMO, and there are many times when it's hard to figure out the points he's trying to make. The best I could figure out is as follows :
1. Cripps might have to follow Cotchin's example and play a kick behind the ball, because he's not a great runner ?
2. Our defenders are same same and SPS is too soft, or maybe they're all soft, and shows a graph comparing years in the system between our defenders and the Tigers ? says we should not worry about system and become hard nuts like the 2000 Essendon defenders.
3. And the obligatory point about too many 5 goals lapses under Teague.

Slight change of topic. Wondering who will 'run with' Dustin Martin. Dusty has the ability to take a game away in a burst of strong play. Could it be we give this role to someone from outside the square. eg. Fogarty has been described as hard nosed at the ball, he is strongly built and has a good tackle count.

The chances that the reverse will happen, that it will make him, are very slim.

For me Ed is the only choice, give him the same role he played on Ablett Jnr, stop Dusty and still offer some run and spread in attack. Guys like Dusty and Ablett Jnr tend to chase very very little, smart teams can hurt them going the other way!

Nthmond happy to spread the news, are the AFL are going to let Cotchin play despite him exhibiting some illness like symptoms, they said it was just Gastro?
How many Nthmond Grannys or Grandpas in that crowd?
Cotchin the people person, spreading the love!

I have a very bad feeling about this game. I hope to hell it's misplaced. Very anxious.

Cotchin officially out....even if the reporter doesn't know what day it is.

I tend to agree. I think frankly Dusty is surplus to requirements tonight, and could have a fairly quiet night at the office if he so chooses. I think they have us covered even if he was sidelined. Cotchin out makes things more interesting.
