Jones and Weitering are looking more solid every week, Newman is working hard and is settling more each week, Daisy is deserving of his spot. Williamson and Docherty would compliment is all nicely, but we’ll only see one this year. Stoker is being groomed and obviously has potential. (He had a number of suitors)
Our forward line is a shambles, but has talent. McGovern, McKay and Curnow need to work out how to play together and maximize the entries. Silvagni is building up good form in the NBs, many believe Cunningham is ready to step up. Fasolo needs a decent block in the 2s to get him. If our current forward coach can’t fix the mess, find someone who can.
Onball, besides Cripps, we need experience and muscle and unfortunately that comes with time. SPS is getting more involved and can find his way through traffic, Setterfield is a handful of games into his career, Fisher needs composure more often but has the attitude, Dow does 75% of things well but again lacks composure. Let’s see Lang and Kennedy once Russell has them primed and ready to go. Hopefully at least one will make a contribution moving forward. Gibbons? Refer Kane Lambert, it takes time to adjust. If Kruezer can stay on the park, that makes the midfield walk that bit taller. De Koning will make it and be exciting.... and Walsh is a gun.
Problems
O’Brien
Simpson
Casboult
E Curnow
Lobbe
Going home with 4 pts today, wallpaper over current cracks or not, would have been a significant tonic but it was not to be.
Get Kruezer back in and get some soul back in the team
Good post!
Gibbons is being played out of position, ditto Ed C. Stupid stuff.
Lachie O'Brien? Mistake to take him at #10 -doubt he'll make it.
Simmo - mother time is calling.
Levi - presented as a forward better than the other three (discounting the Gov's short cameo). Delivery Inside F50 was deplorable. He's goneski you'd think year's end...
Curnow - he's a stopper or nothing. Sorry Ed. (and wtf is the problem with Charlie?)
Lobbe - well past his best (noting Witts is a very big unit)
Finals, then 4 in a row!
