Can clear congestion and get the ball out quickly either to a contest or a safe player even outside d50.

He has done well but I still would play Highmore ahead of him.
I wouldn’t. Highmore will just have to work his way back in.SunnyErnie wrote: ↑Sat 23 Apr 2022 11:51amHe has done well but I still would play Highmore ahead of him.
They might get to play together in our SA backline next week because I have a feeling Ben Long might be missing (just my feeling, because my "sauces" haven't told me anything). Lienert is a different type of player to Highmore, more like Wilkie and more composed. I felt he was a bit off against the Suns and wasn't surprised when he was dropped but he immediately impacted when he came on last night. Another great pick up.SunnyErnie wrote: ↑Sat 23 Apr 2022 11:51amHe has done well but I still would play Highmore ahead of him.
GWS coach says no injuries, so hopefully Ben will be okay. But then he is Ben AND the AFL being the pricks they are, who really knowsTrev from the Bush wrote: ↑Sat 23 Apr 2022 8:55pmThey might get to play together in our SA backline next week because I have a feeling Ben Long might be missing (just my feeling, because my "sauces" haven't told me anything).

They normally release the mrp findings within 24 hours after the game these days, so if we haven’t heard anything yet, I don’t think we will.

No doubt Paddy will replace the injured Jack Hayes.SunnyErnie wrote: ↑Sun 24 Apr 2022 9:20am Lienert needs to be dropped for Highmore, Winhager for Jones, Hayes for Ryder and Wanganeen-Milera for Perris
Why would we make 4 changes to a team that has won 5 in a row? The changes will be kept to a minimum. Changes for injury and bringing back seasoned stars is one thing, but bringing in speculative rookies is another.SunnyErnie wrote: ↑Sun 24 Apr 2022 9:20am Lienert needs to be dropped for Highmore, Winhager for Jones, Hayes for Ryder and Wanganeen-Milera for Perris
I said to Sianter_Boy when Windhager passed the ball - it was flat and accurate. Nasiah possibly even better!perfectionist wrote: ↑Sun 24 Apr 2022 12:57pmNo doubt Paddy will replace the injured Jack Hayes.SunnyErnie wrote: ↑Sun 24 Apr 2022 9:20am Lienert needs to be dropped for Highmore, Winhager for Jones, Hayes for Ryder and Wanganeen-Milera for Perris
I thought that Marcus Windhager had his best game so far on Friday night - his second - he's a quick learner. I was most impressed with his abilty to know where to run to. I can remember that David Armitage took years to learn that and never really got the hang of it, so he concentrated on being an inside player only. Jack Steven found space so that he could run around in circles and then kick it straight to the opposition. Marcus Windhager having just played his second game, he is somewhat more advanced than those two. As is Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera after 5 games (really 4). He's going to be a real champ, with that "flair" that can't be learnt. But they are just 18 and 19 respectively. Minor injuries can affect performance for young players. I note that Marcus had a back injury prior to the draft, which perhaps accounts for his relatively "high" pick at No 47.
As far as Perris is concerned, I know nothing about him, but I note that his first name is Jack, which should almost guarantee him a game.

Even more so when said club has delisted him.
Boris Enright has the backline working like a dream.CQ SAINT wrote: ↑Sun 24 Apr 2022 5:04pm Does structure over ride player position. Can we rest Marshall?
Do we retain Lienert and bring in Paddy.
Have Battle go forward in a Hayes type role and Paddy rests forward? Does Highmore get a chance.
These tall/mobile/versatile/skillful half backs are coming in handy.
Makes it hard for a natural forward like Sharman to get a crack.
I wonder what settled means here.WellardSaint wrote: ↑Mon 25 Apr 2022 12:47amBoris Enright has the backline working like a dream.CQ SAINT wrote: ↑Sun 24 Apr 2022 5:04pm Does structure over ride player position. Can we rest Marshall?

As a combination, the backline is settled and is in sync.
