For a moment I thought the thread title said Cooked hip 50% loading we can be hopeful I guess

Would we have been better getting him to play stopper on Rowell once he started getting loose? Archie probably has the strength to limit the number and quality of those possessions.

Richmond have 5 ACL's so far with half a season to go. Can't remember seeing anything like that.

I don't watch a lot of GCS - is Rowell normally that difficult to tackle?

Andrew was just so good - really an impossible matchup. Then his decision making was impeccable, he stopped goals then set a heap up. Wouldn't even be able to tag him as no one has that size and agility profile. Probably prime pre knee reco Glen Jakovich to see such dominance. Unfortunately our...

Has looked confident the last couple of weeks. Wish he had a ping in the last when about 40 out. Same with Guelf when he handballed to Stringer.

I thought Moyle looked good - is 206cm and 105kgs as well. I think Goldie with recent form would have been pantsed and we lose by a fair bit more. With Bryan you can see something but it is such a slow burn - still needs to build more of a physique and tank (if he can - he might be fast twitch...

It is our own version of the Bermuda Triangle where guys supposedly with elite speed end up looking one paced when they come to us. Today guys were saying El-Hawli played well but was just a little above average pace - I thought he was suppose to be express.

You knew when Rowell or Andrew got it no matter how little time they had they seemed to find someone that ended in a forward entry. Their players looked set up for the hack forward too. They looked so much more dangerous with their forward entries in general. Ours felt like it was going straight...

Was breathing heavy at half time was thinking he might run out of gas a bit. Our shots are from more difficult spots than theirs (except Martin's) but the behinds are very frustrating.

In general they look more skilful

What were his hands and decision making like?

It does - it is worth putting ladder position out of mind and looking at the quality of game on its own merits. Like a few here I thought Richmond weren't easy to play against last week.

Tried to take out Duz when we played them - Duz got out of the way at the last moment.

Good character discount?

Brad would be impressed by the edge on display

We need look into that bloke with the Bombers jumper to lead the cheer squad

That is exactly what I see with Gray - considerable upside. I was hoping we would get him but you can't have them all unfortunately - I don't mind taking a risk on a guy that can break a game open and that would be the thinking here. Not sure if VFL match replays from a few weeks ago are...

I was watching with interest - has a bit of x factor and the way he launches at the ball and can grab a mark is quite impressive. Nice set shot routine. Has lacked a bit of composure and polish at times but as ANT555 said in another thread you could see the improvement happening and in pretty...

Prime Mark Mercuri wearing a Nick Hind bodysuit.

Harry often looks a bit nervy, Caddy is loving it

I dare say 1990 would have been a different outcome if finals had extra time then.

The basket case we would have been without Stringer could have been approaching North proportions. He dragged us over the line so many times in close games. I think some of the criticism has been unfair - like last year when he couldn't do 4 months of pre season due to the Pickett inflicted head...

Freo did something similar when they won a match but lost out on Natanui and that looks nothing on the scale of what North have done - they break a 20 match losing streak to miss out on Reid and celebrated that one like they won a flag. I get the importance of winning but this must really hurt.

I thought Peter Sumich had a decent point pre season about the media going into a frenzy over Reid not being good for the kid and it was highly unlikely he bursts on the scene like Judd - until I watched him play! There was one point in the Freo match where he was running through heavy...

Ambulance was called to the ground when the incident happened. Wonder the circumstances - eg was he running back with the flight?

His performance against the Bulldogs reserves a few weeks ago stood out - kicked goals of both wings and just looked dangerous.

BrunoV who did you like from the VFL listed players as possibilities for the MSD. Foley's kicking looks very good - seems to find teammates when under pressure and pinpoints our players in heavy traffic. Gray takes good marks and looks an awkward matchup.

Laverde's too - maybe the hard hits have had an impact on the optic nerves.

Expecting these on a weekly basis mate 😉
