Re: Anyone at the Sandy game?
It's a co-incidence and nothing else. Sure Longer did ok in the ruck contests, but we did not win solely based on Longer's rucking. Did GWS win last night because of Dawson Simpson's rucking? Did the Doggies win because of Tom Boyd's rucking?stonecold wrote: ↑Sun 01 Jul 2018 8:23pmNot allowed to refer to a bloke by his nickname?????

Re: Anyone at the Sandy game?
Again from a screen but Number 11 for Melbourne was clearly BOG and was the reason the result was as close as it was
Plus on the 2 occasions players under pressure kicked to Longer guess what happened?
Melbourne ran away with the ball, Longer running at full pace making the Melbourne players look like Usain Bolt on steroids
I admit Longer brings a physical edge pushing opposition players around when the ball is not in play - and is right up there with Dawson when he played full back for us
We have missed Dawson’s physicality - but now we have Longer to fill the void

Great to see Minch hitting the score board heavily its what we need
Bruce is back{?}
And I know it will never happen with our coaching staff - but - I just think the combination of Hickey and Marshall gives us so much versatility. We desperately need to find that ruck/rotating forward that can avg a goal a game
Gilbert is paid a lot of money. If his form warrants it, he should be selected in the seniors, ALONG with any kids who deserve a game.

Re: Anyone at the Sandy game?
Gawn was BOG, and beat Longer, should have kicked a goal, but his effect on the game was not devastating. He took a lot of marks behind the play, quite a few in the backline when Longer did not venture forward with him, probably under instructions. Unlike previous weeks a lot of passes were to leading forwards, much less bombing, thus avoiding Gawn. Good tactics finally.
Longer was certainly a physical presence, and Gawn got off the turf a few times and at least knew he was in a contest. I think the mids are more confident with Longer in the middle. We were ahead on clearances while the game was being won, Melb only pulled ahead in the last few mins.
It is good Hickey is playing well, but I think Longer is in next week.

Re: Anyone at the Sandy game?
Well said mate. I am actually more in the Hickey camp than the Billy camp, but fair's fair. Longer did a very good job today as Gawn was absolutely on fire. Although we may never know, Hickey on Gawn today may have meant that Gawn won the game for the Dees. I am going to stand by my conviction that we need to play two rucks EVERY match, especially when a key position player goes down mid-game and we find ourselves in the unenviable position of playing a foreign-born first gamer on one of the most dangerous forwards going around. Hickey and Longer should both play next week for this reason. I know you don't rate Tom Stonecold, but the fact is he can be damaging around the ground, and we are going to need this next week with blokes like Ryder running around for the opposition. By the way, well done Billy!stonecold wrote: ↑Sun 01 Jul 2018 7:27pm4 Games, 3 Wins!!!!!ace wrote: ↑Sun 01 Jul 2018 6:43pmUnless your name in Longer and you are up against Gawn.kosifantutti wrote: ↑Sat 30 Jun 2018 6:03pmWhen you spend all day on the ball you’re bound to pick up a few possessions.longtimesaint wrote:Hickey had 34 possessions for the match!

Re: Anyone at the Sandy game?
The games in which Longer has led us to victory...
a few goals win vs Brisbane
a 3 point win vs GC
and against a Melbourne team that many say is overrated and had lost it's last 3... and he was beaten
it's the bias I can't stand...

Re: Anyone at the Sandy game?
He did get some positive press this past week too...but also tempting to see what Austin can do too, given he'd have played simulations against this ex-team mates. Brown shut Dixon down nicely last time, so if he's able to get back, he's an in IMO.

Re: Anyone at the Sandy game?
There's no rule against it here Stoney.
Was Longer taken off in the first quarter because of injury, or because he couldn't impact several early contests which directly resulted in 3 of the first goals to Melbourne? I think Josh Battle went into the ruck and...low and behold we kicked some goals.
Maybe Longer went off because Gawn had a rest but anyhow, found it intersting that we got back into the game with Longer off the ground

Re: Anyone at the Sandy game?
Gawn got sucked into a rope a dope scenario and Billy played a big part. As Stonecold mentions, Gawn had a great game playing defensive wing. Did some great defensive work, saved them from a 5 goal defeat, but offered zilch offensively. They wore him down, every ruck contest Billy inflicted punishment and I thought broke even. Most of Gawn's hitouts landed at his feet, nullified. He was knackered by three quarter time. Also, at many times Gawn allowed others to contest stoppages in their forward half while he waited a kick behind. Win, win for us. Thank you Billy boy.stonecold wrote: ↑Sun 01 Jul 2018 7:27pm4 Games, 3 Wins!!!!!ace wrote: ↑Sun 01 Jul 2018 6:43pmUnless your name in Longer and you are up against Gawn.kosifantutti wrote: ↑Sat 30 Jun 2018 6:03pmWhen you spend all day on the ball you’re bound to pick up a few possessions.longtimesaint wrote:Hickey had 34 possessions for the match!
