Found it really difficult to assess BJ's game watching on TV. He looked to be trying hard but just didn't seem to click. Went for untold marks in the forward line but looked a little out of position every time. He also looked really frustrated.
Anyone who was at the game could maybe help out here. Was he heavily tagged? or was it just one of those nights?

Firrito is not underrated in my eyes anyway - their best player by a mile with Harvey out of the team. Highly skilled and can play anywhere. Regarding Brendon, there is no point all of our players playing blinders all at once - unless it's the last Saturday in September. Each week, someone has bobbed up to support the A team.rexy wrote:Worth noting that he was playing mainly on Firrito who is IMO a very underated footballer, looked to me from a TV viewpoint that BJ and the Spud were more interested in each other on many occasions?
Goddard is a real point of difference with his long and accurate kicking being so far above the rest of the side.
My concern is he is just starting to get back in that zone off, read play mentality that he is good at, instead of really going in and laying hard tackles like our game plan is based around
I just think our tackling has been down about 10% in regard to intensity and group tackling, and he is one of the offenders. Not because he can't do it, but just a good reader of the play (kind of cheating), but has been found out once or twice.
Also some of his shorter kicking has missed targets the last few weeks, but nothing of great concern.
He will always be a very good player, excellent across half back, pinch hitting forward, but never a genuine midfielder. Just my opinion
