    Clarke's disposal is currently not up to AFL standard. He finds it well - he just needs to do a lot of work on what he does with the ball once he has it.

      “If” Clarke makes the 22.....he needs to play in tight initially so his decision making is instinct only because the more time he has the worse his disposal .......his tagging fitness and run would free up a midfield player like Hewett to influence the game in multiple roles like a Toby Greene role that Hewett played in 2017 very well

      Interesting watching Papley who is taking the game on well but not there yet with the long kicks especially

      Overall the 6/6/6 is making it tough for the way we like to set up in the past and even more important we have some run and carry to counter the forced fast long kick into our backline

        Yep, lack of maturity has held him back a bit, but he's growing up.
        It might be Paps year, he is looking good. Dawson will be a regular in the side and Allir is not doing too bad in the ruck for a small ruckman. He ground work in the centre has been good.

          However, I think we need to bear in mind that the contrast between this week and last has a lot to do with the opposition. Gold Coast have the pace and skill to punish us when we turn the ball over (as we did, poorly) on several occasions in the first quarter. But their midfield pressure and defensive structures/nous are a long way short of GWS's.
          Exactly right Liz.

            Dawson could be a real forward factor this year. He is a beautiful kick and if he finds enough of the ball could kick 30-40 goals.

            Hewett going well - hardly ever plays a bad game this bloke. Aliir is our most versatile player and shows how valuable he will be to us this year. Sinclair needs to be put in cotton wool and wrapped in bubble wrap though.

              I know it's only GC but we have a lot of best 22 players not playing and no rucks, although Aliir is doing some great stuff at the centre bounces.

              Need Jones to play midfield, Mills too. Dawson looks a starter for R1. I know lots of people want to retire them but Grundy and McVeigh really do read the ball well and make good decisions.

              Let's see what the second half brings, another 14 goals, cough cough!

                  How is Aliir doing so well in the ruck when we are losing the hit outs 33-9. I can't see it live as we have had a Foxtel outage since Wednesday.

                    He's doing well after the ruck contest, getting some clearances from the middle.

                      Allie is having a fair game in the ruck, he is going to have a big year I sense

                        Blakey is our most exciting draftee since Heeney.

                          I like Blakey, McInerney and Rowbottom. I don't mind Dawson and Thurlow. I'm not impressed with Rose or Clarke. Good to see Reid back, I hope he can manage an injury free season.

                            Clarke has been a lot more involved today , his disposal has looked a lot better at Times and he’s done some really good thing. Rose not so much

                              I think that our backline always looks calmer when McVeigh is there.

                              He's going to be a gun, once he bulks up past his current praying mantis phase.

                                Not a Rose fan but the guy has only had 23% time on ground (and has an assist) so I think you’re being harsh on him.
