I don't think we had anybody who put in a bad one v. the Bombers, although Plowman looked a little shakey at times. Plowman did some nice stuff also, he's not in the same bracket as a Weitering or Jones so I'm not going to hold him to the same level of expectation.
Some of the general defensive problems came from Jones chaos punching which caused an imminent turnover, also while on ruck rotations Levi interfered with our marking defenders a couple of times in recent weeks. But we mustn't stop Levi attacking the ball, we cannot afford him to be hesitant. With Levi, see ball get ball, no further instructions needed and most of the time it'll work in our favour.

Agree. I don't think Plow should be dropped atm either but we do need to keep a watchful eye on him. I'm sure he is being made aware of where he needs to improve or play differently, as hopefully, are all the players.
Reality always wins in the end.

I'm not sure the Aints or any team have the defence to go with our KPFs if and when our KPFs are switched on.
Let's see what tactics Ratten will come up with, against us I suspect the Aints rucks will float defensive side of centre and for them to be very reliant on a wide spread of small forward and midfield goal kickers.
If our KPFs kick 2 or 3 each we probably win.
CFC site reports Fisher and Harry likely ins.
Harry for SOJ.
Who goes out for Fish? Surely they'll not drop Philp?
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Quote:7. Matthew Kennedy
It’s probably the second week in a row where I think he’s been the most influential player on the ground. He found the most amount of footy out of anyone and competed really hard. He ran back with the flight a couple of times which was inspirational to the rest of the group. The beauty of him is he just gets back up and goes.
The best thing about his game at the moment is his break and his run: it’s improved out of sight over the last 12 months. His ability to now make the ground big and get on the end of it with a couple of goals has been really good.
Quote:25. Zac Fisher
‘Fish’ was great. He has obviously come off an extended break but it’s like he didn’t lose much at all. When ‘Fish’ is going really well, his feet are going and that’s certainly what he brought: the lateral step and the fast feet to get out of the contest. He was able to compete really well in the contest and I think he had a game-high for tackles, which was eight. He was fantastic throughout the day, he finished a really nice couple of goals and some repeat efforts to set up some others.
His triple tackle will find his way into the review: that team aspect is what we loved. The follow up is everyone got around him, in a way welcoming him back off that one effort.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Plowman will probably get Membrey and I dont like that matchup, the Stkilda player plays taller and is a good converter and in recent times Plowman seems to have struggled with the body on body stuff and I see him as the weak link in the backline.

Yes agree. Both he and Jones look a little off the pace in recent times.

Geary apparently a big chance to play.

Haven't been this confident in our back line in years (Plowman aside). Marchbank is not the answer either, gets beaten way to easy and too often for my liking. Coupled with the fact that he cant stay on the park is almost rendering him surplus (or useless depending on how you want to look at it).
