Kayo to the rescue for me this time - can't get along. Must say, I prefer the roof shut.

My answer is still correct as of 5 weeks ago.

what does that mean? ???

what does that mean? ???

it means that as recently as the Brisbane game, we played with the roof open.

You asked a question, I answered it.

I was looking forward not backwards!

Yes, I was aware of the sun during the Brisvegas game  : :

would be nice to see a (key) cfc forward kick a swag - 6 or 7.

Big H - reckon this lad (at this stage of his development) is a huge confidence player....

Maybe, but a lot of his recent success was due to McGovern doing the unrewarded sacrificial stuff, something I'd posted on here about long before he was dropped.

I liked Teague telling Casboult to be the person pushing forward to get out the back of contests. That's A-Grade coaching, not just because it gets Casboult in the right place, but because it's easy to understand and Meat can execute that dragging an opponent away from the contest!

he hasn't had much real success since the start of the season though last Saturday he presented well.

If you only measure success by goal scoring, but his influence over the outcome of the game has risen dramatically.

It too easy to associate kicking goals with personal efforts, when in reality scoring a goal is usually down to things team-mates do! For example SoJ finding himself as the tall in some recent F50 contests, only comes about because McGovern and Casboult are dragging KPD opponents away from the fall of the ball! Remember, Charlie and McKay were not playing!

Apart from the obvious wish of having a good win this week, I would also like to see us kick a big score - 20 goals - no wind, no wet, so no reason why not.

rubbish.

Now you're comparing the Guv's efforts to SoJs?

ROFL.

He was sorely missed last weekend. Not.
