I think we are sometimes guilty of spending too long finding the perfect person to kick a goal and getting no shot away.

Agreed, I thought it particularly hurt us in the Collingwood game- nobody would take it upon themselves to take a quick ping.

I didn't really have an issue with it, he willingly gave the ball up all day.

Passing the ball around in our forward line rather than having a go yourself has been very frustrating at times this season. I for one am pleased to see players have a go rather than lose an opportunity themselves because another player appears to be in a better position (who then gets quickly manned up on or drops the ball when it's kicked to him)

[aardvark]

The question is did Mitch have time to see Macca? Great forward play is instinctive. Was there someone open when Parker had his snap, would we have canned him if he'd missed? If it wasn't for Mitch's contribution we may well have lost the game.

Gee I think some people are being harsh on Morton. I was stoked with his impact yesterday - kicked a couple of important goals, worked hard, from what I saw on Telly did pretty well in terms of applying defensive pressure.

He had a selfish moment or two perhaps, but if you wanted to sit down you could find 2 or 3 moments in every single player's performance every week in which they could of done better (whether its being a bit selfish, missing easy shots, poor disposal, falling off tackles, whatever it may be). I thought that, for Morton to come in playing in a big pressure match and to do as well as he did, that it was an excellent result for him and the team. No doubt he is a risk going into the preliminary final or grand final, but I was impressed yesterday with what he did, and also in his post match interview. It seems to me he really realises Sydney is his last hurrah chance to make it at afl level, and is desperate to take the chance with both hands.

Gee you could argue that Goodes has almost cost us a couple of games because of his selfish, cute stuff and dinky round the corner kicks to nowhere or no one. If you have played the game at any level there are split second decisions that you have to make. Morton was criticised at Richmond for trying to kick screw goals and try to do the miraculous. Sometimes players learn those traits by emmulating their heroes in the backyard as kids. If you have coached Auskick you will know what I mean. He played a terrific team game and having watched the replay this morning I was confirmed of this.

Not suggesting he is in Steve Johnsons class, but like SJ, some players are worth backing in when taking those type of snaps. I believe Morton is one of those players...

[Primmy]

I thought this was a Benny thread.

Poor kid, feel awful for him; wish I could wave a magic wand and make it better.

I mentioned this elsewhere, but the absence of any response was somewhat disappointing. Anyway if we are looking at a like for like and the structures are all important is Cunningham the right replacement ?

[Nico]

Heard on SEN in the past half hour that the report from the Swans is that Benny has a slight strain of the hamstring. Diagnosis is 2 to 3 weeks out unless he makes a miraculous recovery he is out for the season.

[Doctor]

Very disappointed for Benny. I love what he's added to the team since we brought him up from Hawthorn and I sincerely hope he's ok, but it doesn't sound good.

In terms of a replacement, I assume we'll go like for like, because that's what we do, which means bringing Reg in for him would only happen if we reshuffle the deck a bit. It might mean Parker starts and someone else puts the vest on.

Minor hammy, McGlynn will be avaliable for grand final. Book it.

Just watched the replay, Morton was fantastic, miles ahead of TDL and walsh. Numerous slick and accurate handballs, not to mention accurate kick.

I think you can read that as a no.

So sad for Benny. May he defy all odds and make a miracle recovery. Love that kid.

Hope your right, big risk if he's not 100%

[Buzz13]

Saying now that McGlynn may be a good chance still for prelim final! Great news. Wondering who may go out for Grundy? Parker?

It's great having a full strength team to choose from and everyone is playing well.

[longmile]

McGlynn should be sub when/if he returns. Don't wanna risk him playing a full one.
