One on one with an isloated defender he would win at least 50% of the pill provided its not bombed in or kicked into the stratosphere. Keep it low and in front of him in an open forward line and he would turn most defenders. His kicking is so dangerous he would only need eight or ten possessions to do some real damage


    What, have a player in our goal square permanently, I'd like to see that!!

      Thats something that really got to me on Sat night, whenever we moved quickly out of defense there was no-one in our fwd 50 where the opposite was for the Wobbles and was very effective for them. We should have had at least 2 forwards stay permanently in the fwd 50 even if they rotated occasionally.

        Dempster a FF, now that would be different and could possibly work.

          The way Roos is talking I can't see us getting within 50 points of Hawthorn.

            Leave Buddy open for every mark and shot on goal. We'll win for sure.

              Damn, I must've missed that play too. when did we move it quickly out of defence. I must remember to pay better attention.

              It was just so mesmerising watching, Malceski standing in the goal square doing nothing. It really fooled the pies.

              At a few stages BBBBH was playing CHB, while his opponent racked up cheap possessions.

                2.11 is still better than most of our forwards could muster.

                  He'd probably still outscore us by himself even if only 1 in 5 shots is a goal!!

                    Resting key players is a bit of an insult to our opponents so I pretty much expect a smashing.

                        It would make my day if I saw his name in the team on Thursday.
                        I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                        We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
