You are exactly on the money, Gilly12! We had him down for 14 touches, 5 in the first half, with 4 marks. You aren't one of our stats team in disguise are you?

no. im a just a crows fan who is keen to see how James Sellar is going. I was counting his possessions today and although he didnt star i didnt think he was too bad considering the ball didnt enter souths forward 50 to often. When it did Ben Warren seemed to kick a goal.

Love to see McGregor come in to the side this week, really think he could be good around our forward lines, he is really quick and would be great to have front and centre crumbing the ball. He is a must imho.

I too am a big fan of McGregor, but not sure that having him and SLSP both in the 50 wouldn't be counter-productive?
We still need a tall, marking target in the goalsquare, and even when Button was sent there in the second half we did nothing to make use of his height (eg low, easily cut-off passing inside the fifty).

Id love to see our forward set up look like this

FF McGregor, Duldig (1st choice) or one of Kirk/Button/Sellar, Macca
HF Mahoney, Kirkby, Mitchell

We have pleny of options i think two tall main targets and if our ruckmen work hard to get down there as a third would be enough....Agree though, that it doesn't matter how many tall targets we have done there if we don't use there height.

Yep, I particularly noticed this as I was following Button closely when watching the replay. There were many times when the ball was kicked in his general direction inside 50, but not once did he get his hands on the ball. All his 17 possessions were either after ruck contests or in the back half of the ground.

I for one would much prefer to see someone like Duldig in the role of the tall forward.

19 replies for the ressies thread, is this officially a bandwagon? Hooray!!!

Sorry if it was answered earlier, & I was too lazy to read it, but with Norwood going down to the Eags, do we go top on percentage? The Sunday mail had us as second, but did not state the percentage for each team, & ours must be healthy. And I dont trust the mail to give two hoots about anything sanfl.

The Sunday Mail got it wrong, and we are in fact on top. Hooray!

Given we have more for points 1471 v 1462 and less agaisnt points 1153 v 1226 I'd say we're definately on top...
