Harsh on Durds but I guess something gotta give.
Fantasia can count himself lucky, I think, but he does a lot off the ball like all the half forwards do I guess. None of that can be discerned watching replays with Ch7/Fox obsession with the CU shot. I wish they'd window (PIP) a wide shot 10m behind and 50m in front of the ball so we had more a sense of the movement of the players not just the ball).
How come Fantasia never does the arsy things* playing for us that his highlights package was full of while playing at the Hanger**? Do teams inspire not just styles of play but individual acts from players? (Having said that Betts did incredible things at Blues and Crows every second week at least).
Williams was quiet last week by his standards, not many positions and no goals. Was Owies assigned a more prominent role, goto for scoring shots, knowing it's Zac's milestone game this week? Can a game be planned to that extent or does it all just unfold with matchup ascendancy during a game?! Someone said Owies was on thin ice a week ago… showed his class last week with the dice rolling well for him. He's an integral part of our forward structure playing several roles at once. On Gettable they're saying he's one of the AFL small forwards soon out of contract that will be hunted by other clubs.
I'm with you diesel95....
When I first got Foxtel... Press red... Choose 'wide view' and leave it there... How the f#&* have we gone backwards on this stuff :slapshead:
As for OF... I watched him reasonably closely last Friday...
Observed the following:
-Hes definitely running off forward of the play to create an option should we win it...
-I fear he's a little low on confidence, as he seems to go waaayy too early (leaves his man as an extra at the contest).. Just MHO...
-when he gets it, he's usually clean by hand and foot, GOOD decision maker BUT needs to get it (and be given it) more often and earlier (by his teammates)
He may be dropped this week... But I reckon he's doing what the coaches want
Go Blues
good to know.
i’d love to start going to games again. you see sooo much more at the ground, even in the shittiest of eagle nests in the top deck you can see the styles of play without discerning all the players for all of the game.
it’s been over a decade. i’m starting to test if i can trust Blues on match day by watching the odd final quarter here and there live. They stood up against Port in the final quarter for the first time for me in years!

. deliriously happy that day. i thought we were going to lose early days but my mate was convinced it would start to rain and we’d win. he was always right about footy, dunno how.
