The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[Thryleon]

It's not Charlie and McKay that are the problem though, between them they'd kicked 18 goals over the 3 rounds before Wet Toast, 10-4-4, then 11 in the Wet Toast game, not sure fans can realistically expect more on average? :o

It's not the KPFs that are the problem, in those rounds from 4 through to 7 it was the absence of an effective small forward that hurt us, Owies was out Rnd 4 to 9 inclusive, Motlop and Durdin kept going with the status quo, but the lost goals of Owies were never covered!

It's a bit to easy to "remember" things differently to what they are, and come to a one size fits all conclusion that is actually wrong!

In any case, last weekend was the odd game out, we had all that dominance and couldn't score at all, when actually this season our scoring efficiency from F50s has been quite good but we just haven't been going in enough, too many unforced turnovers from the last kick approaching F50 has been the typical error.

I disagree LP.

1 goal 2 in a drawn match.  The 2 points regulation set shots from almost directly in front, and for some reason snapped for a behind.

Then you have the St. Kilda match.  1 goal 2 from 4 set shots for goal.  One of them hitting the middle of the ball and being a rain maker centering kick that didn't even make the distance.

6 touches for 1 goal against Brisbane.

Harry might have had 10 marks, with 2 of them inside 50 against the Bulldogs, but he has cost us 6 points with lazy kicking accuracy thus far on the premiership ladder table, and Im not sure that our defender and midfielders disposal efficiency is about them kicking it badly, or not getting many options to kick to, which is a symptom of key forwards not doing enough.  On one occasion on the weekend harry was trying to mark over the top of his opponent, rather than punching to spoil inside 50.  He took 2 marks for the game, inside 50.  Sure he got 10 marks, but we are playing this really crappy chip it short game style which is inflating our stats. 

On current form, Harry is on 12 goals from 9 games including an easy beat.  With poor conversion rate of about 50%.  If that continues, he is likely to end the season no about 30 goals.

Charlie is going ok and looks a match winner.  Harry is not having the same impact.
