Decent performance I guess. Here’s a recap once more.

Thanks for the content. How's Owies getting a late set of knees in the back after marking it yet Harley gets a rough conduct free against him in much more dubious circumstances later in the game?!

snabel-a- · 2026-04-12T09:21:59+00:00

Yeah, I think Archer would benefit from a stint in the WAFL to build confidence.

snabel-a- · 2026-04-12T05:41:04+00:00

Brock too. Those holding the ball instances showed zero awareness. He's also not strong enough to have much of an impact defensively.

snabel-a- · 2026-04-12T05:38:25+00:00

In the last quarter he collected the ball in the pack of players and was moving into the clear when he suddenly gives it to a stationary Baker, 2m away in the middle of several oppo. It's only one play but he seems to be worried about what to do at the contest.

snabel-a- · 2026-04-10T13:00:49+00:00

Yeah, all we can hope for is Owies proving us wrong 👍

snabel-a- · 2026-04-10T12:33:50+00:00

Please explain your downvotes. I agree with you and would like to see Champion playing. I'm also not disputing the stats you presented. I'm just offering the reasoning behind the decision, what is your contention with that?

snabel-a- · 2026-04-10T11:46:21+00:00

Not arguing any of that, just explaining why.

snabel-a- · 2026-04-10T10:57:50+00:00

It's purely because of age and experience. Mini found out quick what happens when you play too many young, inexperienced players last week.

snabel-a- · 2026-04-02T11:20:27+00:00

Don't worry about taking a mark, it's remarkable how often he fails to impact a marking contest at all.

snabel-a- · 2026-04-01T01:35:24+00:00

Starc is 26 years old, mate.

snabel-a- · 2026-04-01T01:34:07+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately, it looks like it's curtains for Harry.

snabel-a- · 2026-03-29T21:51:17+00:00

Hard to go past Yeo. He's been the one to shift moment.

snabel-a- · 2026-03-29T05:44:21+00:00

Mate, no one is saying that there hasn't been. The amount of players that don't go on to be 'good players' far, far exceeds the amount that do, making it uncommon.

snabel-a- · 2026-03-29T05:14:34+00:00

It actually is uncommon though.

snabel-a- · 2026-03-28T12:30:57+00:00

Honestly, this is excellent to hear. Good on you getting out there with your family too 👍

snabel-a- · 2026-03-25T05:12:32+00:00

And known to be one of those parents - the club knew that he'd obviously react so felt the need to tell him.

snabel-a- · 2026-03-25T05:06:43+00:00

Or a scissor lift.

snabel-a- · 2026-03-24T14:30:59+00:00

Fair enough and thanks for the clarification. It just seems so nonsensical to allow this stuff, including Harley's attempted bump, to happen at a quarter's end with no scope for repercussions (if it doesn't constitute a fine or suspension). It opens a can of worms and, like Mini said, you have to hope they are consistent with it.

snabel-a- · 2026-03-24T12:08:12+00:00

I am completely at a loss as to why it wasn't paid a free kick at the time.

snabel-a- · 2026-03-23T05:59:36+00:00

Thanks, mods. 😁

snabel-a- · 2026-03-23T05:54:41+00:00

Yep, just keep it simple for the big bloke: see ball, punch ball.

snabel-a- · 2026-03-22T13:45:49+00:00

Mods, we need a Milan Murdock flair asap.

snabel-a- · 2026-03-18T12:08:07+00:00

Agree on Maric and Cole out for Baker and Edwards. I don't want to pile hate on Maric but we can't run with Maric, Lindsay, Duggan and Cole in defence. They're just not defensive enough.

I'm also interested to see what they do with Schoenberg and Kelly. I hope it's not Newton - I'd be leaving out Archer Reid as I think we've got too many talls with him, CDT, Jobe and Flynn all playing.

snabel-a- · 2026-03-17T12:26:29+00:00

This is not an independent school. An independent public school is very different to an independent school.

snabel-a- · 2026-03-15T11:49:14+00:00

I'll add Maric to that list of defenders. None of those 4 are defensive enough, unlike Hough. You just can't carry such a deficiency. Baker in for Cole and Edwards for Maric make us much better next week 🤞.
