Completely agree. He has played his best footy back, but is often sat on by opposition players now, negating his best asset. As a forward it would highlight his current deficiencies. He needs to move more. Good lesson may be had from the game this weekend. Hawthorn move and maintain structure at the same time. They can do so as they have players that can fulfil many roles, and have skills aplenty. Other than lake, they can all play several positions and all have a responsibility to kick goals. Its a nightmare to match up on.

This is the week he needs to play forward. Put some pressure on their rebounding defenders and use his pace which he hasn't done all year.

I don't get this articule - what does it mean?  Does it mean he's been told not to run and carry?? that's what 'team first' says to me

Interesting barker has said he's trying to implement a 'modern' gameplan. The backhanders just keep on coming for Mick.

Difficulty with playing hawthorn is that they dont play a conventional forward set up. Their only true KP is roughhead and he often roams about. Henderson might have a hard time keeping up with him. Given our team balance henderson will probably stay forward, as how can we play rowe, jamison and henderson back?

Really lacking run at the moment, so we are going to have to work very hard to match it with a team that combines standout skills with an ability to maintain structure better than any. Hopefully we can shut them down, and keeping them to a low score is probably a major aim, even more so than actually scoring ourselves. Its not like we can hope to match them in a shoot out in any case

Congratulations to the club for a good promotion this week. Taking us back to 1995 with old food prices is smart marketing ( hate to imagine the cost though!). Well done.
Yep, credit given where it is due.

I'd pick Wood tonight and run Kreuzer with Roughead all game, covering him when he ruck/follows or goes forward.  Wood can do the other tucking against Hale, Ceglar, Macavoy etc.

I suspect we're tanking; Liam Jones is back  :Smile

In: Jones, Boekhorst

Out: Carrazzo (foot), Fields (omitted)

I really can't see how Jones could get a game ahead of Jaksch, but then I couldn't see why we added to him to our list either.

I would have kept Fields in the side ahead of Tutt too.  The latter is an honest trier but he really lacks awareness an dis going to brushed aside by the Hawks.

Pick 7 for Jaksch is shaping up as our worst trade in more than a decade.

OMG Everitt stays.
