Well done, young man!!
Was good to see him in the thick of the action, looks a bit heavy and his kicking needs work, those laconic kicks need to hit the target more.

Yes but just pause for a moment or two and think of our side with Grundy as the no 1 ruck.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

  What a difference it would have made tonight if we had had a  tall, mobile ruckman who was able to give our mids a better than even chance of getting first use of the ball.

If we have to go into next season with Pittonet as our main ruckman then we are almost certain to have the same inconsistent results during 2023 as we have had this year.
Got smashed in the ruck, Gawn and Jackson monstered us all night.
Probably a credit to our mids we did so well as they had no support from Pittonet.
Jack was more value imho...

Whoever was on Spargo did a great job and Langdon was really nullified as well.  Lots of players 'did their job' against quality opposition.

Yes, I think that would certainly be a factor. But it seems more than just the opposition IMO.

  Poorer Delivery and less I50s hasn't helped Charlie.
Petty is an underated defender too, does a lot of the tough work on players like Charlie so May and Lever can do the pretty intercept stuff...

I still think Charlie's getting opportunities...it's just he's been a bit fumbly, not following up on some of the contests and reluctant to bend for the ground balls...an injury of sorts perhaps.
