Absolutely. I watched him closely in our practice match with them in the pre season. He gave our backline fits and his finishing was A grade. He goes hard at it too.

The rohan hit on. CAMERON WAS SO UNESSCESSARY, even though it's his teamate,everything he did was what they were saying not too,much worse than mansell
The king boys cop a lot of *smile*,but they are heading to becoming huge forwards, their stats for young talls are fantastic, their best is several years ahead of both.
Looks like Cracksbourne is back on the slide list. Fans already turned on Goodie again pre-2021 style. Dimma might be their coach....
Are we hearing anything about Lobb being dropped? Yet another dud trade.
Absolutely. Clubs have gotta be real strong with the AFL on this. There’s enough artificial manipulation and dilution of the Draft without giving Norf a handout of some sort every year.
Have West Coast asked for their priority pick yet ?
We were shitt for 37 years bout time others learned how to swim.
Its the modern day every one needs to win mentality.
Be Better Do Better Get Better .............its how its done.

So how do you stop Collingwoods 4th quarter blitzkreig?
I see two ways; both extremely difficult
1. Decode then recognise when collingwood are in the energy conservation modes in the first 3 quarters, and do your own corridor mayhem and score.
Im going use a cycling analogy and call this 'The Peleton Break-away technique'
Hope you get a defensible lead.
This technique would be tiring physically and mentally, so you would need to go into a crude slow multi stoppage maul game in the 4th quarter.
2. Knock the stuffing out of them for the first 3 quarters. Ill use a boxing analogy and call this 'reverse rope-a-dope'. Land on them, punch them in the back of the head, drop knees into ribs every single contest until they are too sore and rooted to execute 4th qtr blitzkrieg.
Old fashion, crude, terry wallace technology.
Neither of these are easy. Im clutching at straws.
The best side wins the flag 9/10 and collingwood are 2023's best side by 3 goals (they beat 2nd best, with only 1/3 of their strike force having any impact - elliot - daicos - degoey is their 3 headed monster. Last night port cut off two heads, and lost.
No, only two things will stop collingwood winning the 2023 premiership
1. Injury - to two of; degoey, moore, elliot, daicos, or
2. Momentum - theyve had it for a long time without pause, and it ends

Confidence is such a strong factor late in games. Teams who believe they can win often do. We believed yesteryear and kicked the last 6. The pies believe.
But at some point the ball bounces the wrong way and you don't. The match winning goal came from a mark 5cm in the field of play- the Port missed their chance by a spill that came just in time.
The Pies are the team to beat, but they won't always win the close ones, and won't always run teams down in the last. It would be nice if they fail in the finals twice by under a goal. Again.
Yeah Fly definately has them on the razors edge.
Age may weary them yet?
Without looking at the data, ports heavy lifters (rozee, JHF, butters, dursma, allir, burgman) seem younger than pies heavy lifter (degoey, moore, elliot, sidebottom, daicos)
And port seems to have less veterans (boak, dixon) than collingwood (pendles, sidebottom, miocheck, cox, elliot)
Though i thought Wines looked 33 last night but hes only 28.
Im clutching at straws.
Mentally is the way to beat them, but also strong physical tackles. We have to shake off our clumsiness to succeed again. I might look back to analyse our game against them early in the season when we had chances.
