So that's what the Eevan was trying when he got the GWS player with a throat blow. Practicing the arm action in preparation for a star jump. Guess for the big blokes it's a slow progression getting all the limbs coordinated n working together at the same time.Dyer'ere said:
I think he's frustrated, TM. And fair enough. His worst form is too frequent and horrific. We should drop him but it's possible that Hampson really is the better value to us from here. And that Hampson needs rest. (Is that knee degenerative?)
I think the rest of our season hinges on better ruck performances. At least we've got some competition for the spot now. And a bloke who can touch the ball at the CBs.

Agreed. Does a power of work inside stoppages. Throws his weight around and provides a good block for the inside mids. He's also smart with his positioning, often turning up in the right spot to impact an aerial contest.
But he just doesn't get his hand on the ball in a ruck contest when he's up against the athletic/tall types. And his contested marking seems a little down this year.

Hardwick's crunched the numbers of Sandy vs Maric and it does not compute. He was pretty much flogged in our win over them at Subi.
Hampson might not beat Sandy either but he'll even out the contest at stoppages. Whether that translates to a win though will be interesting.

The thing which really killed us in the match was that Sandi just kept tapping the ball to 6 o'clock where Fyfe was running past. All we needed was to have a player to counter that move, which was also usually anti-clockwise, and their absolutely massive ruck dominance would have been reduced.
Back on track, I would prefer the Hampervan to Maric in this one.

Yeah, I thought we did okay in the clearances off memory, but the stats prove we were comprehensively smashed. We can only play 1 this year and originally I thought we should pick Ivan, since we could rove to Sandilands (thinking that was what worked last time). But what we should do is pick just Hampson and improve on our biggest weakness from last time - the clearances.
While we could always lose, can you remember a time when we've gone up against the ladder leaders and felt so rightfully confident of a win? Or at least, of it being a close game?
I can't.
