Re: Byrnes, Bonner Not up to it..

Bonner has to play to his main strength, kicking the pill long. His dicky 20 metre passes are horrible to watch and end up turning the ball over. Find a long target up the field and kick to him. Now that Jack Hayes is back and firing supporting Marshall, there should be a tall target up field. Max ...

Of last years draftees he's definitely in the top 2 so far.

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Roos

Garcia has had a few solid games, but can make way for more experienced players.
Byrnes sadly back to VFL
Hastie needs a full match at least

This makes room for Dow and Henry

What do you do with Clark? Caminiti? Sharman? Higgins? Paton?

Re: Mattaes Phillipou

The bones are there, in terms of stats when he got the ball he was creating play. He is training to be a game breaker, our Degoey type. Not an accumulator. 80% Contested possession rate 40% Score involvements to Disposals But when you look at the big picture you can see what's lacking. 0 tackles 5 d...

People were talking about Max King in the same sentence as Coleman Medal before the season started.

Re: Byrnes, Bonner Not up to it..

I agree on Bonner. He takes the game on, and whilst it doesn't always come off, if it does it puts us in a very attacking position.

For such a low scoring team we need this.

The AFL keeps Higgins out of the team (please don't derail the thread here!)

Re: Byrnes, Bonner Not up to it..

Sinclair was best on ground for some and he had more clangers than Bonner.

I'm off the Byrnes train now, his first few weeks of last year were the trajectory he needed, but has not progressed in his last 20 games.

Re: Mattaes Phillipou

I thought Pou was doing really well in the first half, every time he touched it he was able to break free and get quick hands to a player in good position.

It just didn't happen often enough, and I don't remember seeing him touch it in the second half.

He's not the wrestling contested mark forward he thinks he is.

Re: Team v Roos

Membrey is playing for his career over the next few weeks. We know Caminiti will be a player. Sharman has proven himself at the level too, but both need to improve aspects of their game. Some time in the VFL for each of them won't do any harm. But if Membrey can't find himself adding value to a forw...

Re: Team v Roos

I think we are currently at a crossroads in development.

Clearly there are two players ready to play AFL in Collard and Schoenmaker.

Bring them in and we're almost too young a side, need some experience beside them for on field coaching and leadership. Especially up forward.

This trash argument doesn't even deserve a response, and certainly doesn't belong unchecked on a poorly moderated footy forum.
