Re: Clark and Dow
Clark has been in the system for a while now, and disappointed me last night. Played well in the third, but in the last, he looked like he was running in mud, and his man got a few crucial possessions. Dow did some nice linking things, but needs better players around him.

Re: Momentum killers
A big momentum killer is the lack of defensive pressure from our half forwards- the work rate required keep the ball in the scoring zone..it killed us last night especially in the first half. Yet again, an opposition defender is amongst the best on the ground. Bonner did a couple of poor things, but...

Re: Something changed
Any coach who needs to resort to giving his team a spray after the first quarter at this level, is clearly not getting his message through. So what you're saying is there are 18 coaches in the AFL not getting their message through. Even Longmire has given the top team the Swans a spray at several q...

Re: Match Thread Brisbane V St Kilda
Caminiti has a future, as does Wilson and Arie, and they will only get better. I'm hoping we can get Heath in for a game this season too.

Re: Changes at end of the year
It may be that after this time, Josh wants to play in a successful club instead of a middle rung club for his entire career.

Re: Who is our "enforcer?'
I think those enforcer days are back in the '60s and '70s. I do think the we lack a bit of strength in the middle size players we have- they don't quite impact contests.

Re: RTB finger on the pulse
There's those of us who believe the overall strength of the side more than makes up for the lack of one or two A grade midfielders. Steele almost won the Brownlow, so he's definitely A grade. Then theres Clark, Dow, Windhager (who can shut down a Naicos) ... and we have strengths in other areas of ...

And in regards our attack, we have King who is how old, Caminiti who is a junior still developing and Membrey who is (just about) midfielder size King needs support, as does the 199cm Howard at the other end and Marshall, our sole ruckman With Howard down Marshall gave assistance to our height comp...

Re: Ross Lyon tactics
Seems to me that some coaches figure out a way through this RTB’s plan and some don’t. When they figure it out… we tend to look pretty bad.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns
So, not noticing King at that time, I would assume that the GC defender was endeavouring to keep King in such a position that the GC defender could peel off to impact (either of) Henry or Higgins And King was trying to lead him away hence the GC defender impeding King’s movement by holding him In t...

Re: Ross Lyon you do my head in
Whatever Lyon is doping, the style of footy he has this team playing is keeping people from coming to matches- even mates from the bush don't want to come down to watch matches this season

Clark did ok, but lapsed in the third where Rowell got away from him and got CG back in the game. Probably best value is on the ball, linking up

Marshall to spend more time forward and let Campbell go h2h with the Big O.
Takes heat of King. He was best when he had Ryder/Marshall there too.
