Ryan O'Keefe

[Charlie]

Got plenty of the ball for a half forward flanker (16 touches), but kicked 0.4 for the day. The problem wasn't so much bad kicking as bad decision making - he tried to snap a couple from very unlikely positions. Wasted some very promising inside 50s in the process.

I wonder if he's feeling a little bit of pressure to kick a couple. He needn't - Hall and O'Loughlin are kicking plenty, and O'Keefe should feel free to range a little further up the ground and create opportunities for them. I realise it must be frustrating to be the neglected fourth target, but the solution to that difficulty isn't trying to kick freak goals that simply aren't going to come off.

He actually did his job well today - ignore the four behinds and he had a good game. But his decision making whenever he was technically within range was very poor.

Come on, what about his nice hair? Pick on someone ugly.

I thought he flashed in and out a bit too much today. You could be onto something with the thought that he might feel like he needs to do special stuff. Just not his day i guess.

I think that overall his form is better than it was earlier this season and he just had an off game.

I agree with Charlie - from my spot in the stands, apart from his goal kicking I thought he had a pretty decent game. Had one set shot that just missed and the other snaps I think he just rushed things a bit. But that is less of a concern for me than if he wsn't getting his hands on the ball, which seems to have been happening more in recent weeks than earlier in the season.

Thing is when Micky and Bazz get some decent defenders (like next match Presti and Clement) he will need to step up as another option if things dry up for the other two. I hope he is up for it

ROK presented well and worked alot smarter than harder which was promising.
Also how good has Nick Davis's form since he's been back. He's like the icing on the cake on our forward line.
