I’m a bit disappointed with Motlop.
His constant “ability” to give away free kicks for poor tackling releases the pressure valve for the opposition.
Don’t tackle at all if you’re going to give away so many free kicks.
The small forward positions & hff is a weakness.
Fisher is nearly at 100 games & yet I can’t remember a time he was one of the top players on the ground.
He needs a game where he gets the ball a lot & impacts. He’s ok.. but more than ok is needed.
Carroll to me knows how to work in traffic. The game slows down for him… yet he only got a quarter of action, so I guess he is out of calculations for Rd 1.
If Hollands has the wing, can O’Brien go to a forward line role? Move the chess pieces around.
Watched the game from start to finish i did . What did i think ? dunno what i thought except we where flat footed . So i reckon i will tap into " Tap ". Reckon you have made two really good points " Tap ". Motlop , well i don't get the hype coz he was atrocious . When is he at the drop of the ball ? look i like his energy and hustle and bustle but i just can't see multiple goals from him ................... and the other one is Carroll . In his brief foray he showed far more class than many of the others . Carroll is AFL standard . He has got what it takes . Continue to play him in the magoo's and you will destroy him . And whats the go with Dow ? why do his teammates continually ignore him ? Paddy put in last night . He gave off the ball a few times and kept running to receive and was ignored . Why ? unfortunately he seams like one of those players that teammates don't have faith in no matter what they do . Having said that i reckon it is curtains for Paddy . Just a half a level below . Good type of young bloke all the same .
On a positive not it is so obvious Hollands is up to it . He is AFL level . Good player . Cowan is also good . Plenty to like about him least of all is his willingness to mix it and put his head over the football . Ditto Cincotta . He looked better as the game wore on . Definitely not a wasted pick ........................... so , for me , Hollands MUST debut in round one . Give us supporters some faith in the future . I would also debut Cowan or Cincotta . One or the other . OK i'll go Cincotta . Although Cowan has had a great preparation i think Cincotta has bee just if not more impressive . The bloke has been an absolute credit how he has embraced his opportunity .
Mickstar, we’re on the same page with a lot of things.
I agree with you with Carroll. He has class.
Would like him to have the 5th /sub position for rd1.. but going by the fact he only got one quarter I guess he is down the pecking order.
I also agree with Hollands debuting Rd1. Not sold on the others yet.
It is a long season - Dow could still be useful.
Who they pick out of Owies,Motlop, Durdin etc for Rd1 will be vital. You can’t take all three as they all basically do the same thing and get few possessions.
We need a few goals out of the small forwards.
“Pressure acts” where they chase after blokes after they have 5-10 metre break is pointless.
“Tackling pressure” where you give away free kicks isn’t great.
Silvagni looked good to me. Gives you a lot of options.
