taking several "half marks" - not sticking them as they did late last year. Could have easily had 2-3 easy set shots last Friday night. Combination of timing and confidence not just there at the moment for Jacob.
Same. LLoyd gives us more, and can also do his share in the midfield.Tigers of Old said:
Also I still reckon we should be blooding a second tall. Moore, CCJ, Balta, whoever. Particularly seeing that we are playing GC this week.
If Jack goes down we have absolutelty no back up plan. It could cost us dearly.
He is a big part why we are so good. Moore doeent bring the aggression required to play that 'stopper/blocker' roll.
Townsend mightve touched it the other night but his work to clear grass for jack was unbelievable.
He is the 2nd selected for me behind higgins.

Not doing enough for mine. Still needs to kick his fair share of goals to maintain his spot. He was damaging last year because he kicked 16 goals in 5 games. This year he's managed 12 in 10. He's down many of the key defensive stats compared to last year. One who is fighting with others for that last forward position.
His good things are amplified largely because of his purple patch last year. He's not playing anywhere near as well as that now though.

Of the 16 in 5 games, he kicked 11 in 2 in round 22 and 23. Take that out and his performance this year mirrors the rest of his games last year (ie finals)
Remember the days where we used to trade picks for average players from good teams and thought they were gold !!
Townsend,C.Ellis,Miles,Lloyd Should all be played this week and watch them dominate

A finals man. Needs a contest to contest affair.
Could be crucial in setting the tone in tense first halves. I’d back him in.

We say Townsend needs a final to dominate, but he didn't really. He played well and he was a part of our winning side, but he didn't get that many possessions, nor did he dominate on the scoreboard, his 2 big scores that made everyone sit up and take notice of him were against Freo and the Saints, neither team made finals and were both pretty well done by the time we played them late in the season. His next biggest score was against the Blues in Rd 1 of this year. He may very well do something against the Suns, but I wouldn't count on him replicating last years finals form.
