I hope Plugger isn't working with Buddy on his kicking too much. Don't fix what's not broken.

Last week gave no hint of this.......

Yes , Billericay. The targeting of Mills forced us to retaliate more forcefully. And we will continue to so, until the other teams realise that tactic no longer works. But the cheating, arm chops, roughing up etc were there from round one.

3/4 time. 43 points up, 99-56.

Live ladder time:
North 2 5 727 770 94.42
Swans 2 5 688 730 94.25
Pies 2 5 645 706 91.36

If we score 1 more point (win by 44), we go above Norf.

Think Tom and George just snapped North's leg rope. Hope we go on with it. Loving the fact that almost every North possession is under pressure.
Possibly time that Buddy kicked a couple.

True, last week was definitely an exception, but he's been off all season.

Good skills and creativity do not make a quality AFL player. You need to be able to hold your own one on one anywhere on the ground and Newman doesn't seem to be able to do that. Granted, every player makes me mistakes, and I agree he would probably get better with consecutive games under his belt but as we have one win and are still mathematically a chance to make finals, I don't think we have the luxury to keep playing him in the 1's as a learning opportunity. And when Rampe and Rohan come back, he will be hard pressed to make a case for a spot then.

Newman has played four (4) games and now averages over 20 disposals per game. Yes Dane should come back when fit but does he necessarily take Newman's spot ?

Rampe takes Marsh's spot

All we need is the real Luke Parker to turn up and we might be on our way !!

Buddy is obscenely good

I guess it's between Newman and Marsh. IMO it'd be Newman out, though he has definitely gotten better as the game has gone on, Marsh just a bit stronger one on one to me.

Okay, Buddy, I'm sort of impressed with that, but now do it while balancing a ping pong ball on your forehead.

He's doing OK - 9 clearances, 17 contested possessions. Trying to do too much with the ball.

I'm enjoying the way the Swans have gang tackled Cunnington all day
