Delivering in a GF and a prelim not big enough?
Last year's Grand Final was against witches hats
Delivering in a GF and a prelim not big enough?
One quarter of elite Marlion we win the flag!!Be nice if he can play a even 4 qtrs that's all.

True - Marlion hits harder!Marlion is no Dusty
He played well when it counted on Friday night but he also stood under the ball early in the first, ducked his head, gave a half effort and let Port take it away.
If he did that in a big moment in a Grand Final it would suck the soul out of our side.
Definitely ducks. Said the same last week having noticed it more than once over preceding few weeks. Not suggesting he's soft but as you say, wouldn't want to see it in a big moment this Saturday.He played well when it counted on Friday night but he also stood under the ball early in the first, ducked his head, gave a half effort and let Port take it away.

Well I'll accept that I guess.this is the equal most flawed logic I've ever read on here.
actually, its outright most flawed.
Obviously not the craziest thing ever said. It wouldnt even make the top million.
But illogical?
I vote No.1
(just to pre-empt the reaction, this logic extrapolated, says Dustys Norm Smith was less worthy than Jason Johannison or Shaun Harts. so)

What a load of rubbish.
This a team that embraces imperfections, the whole premise of mindfulness is that you stay in the moment, its something they appear to work very hard on, so if you think the soul is going to get sucked out of this side because someone makes a mistake you haven't been watching very closely.

I don’t reckon it’s a ‘courage ‘ thing.He probably will, toughness at the player isn't his issue, it's holding his nerve when the ball is sat on his head.
It's happened two or three times this year and happened again on Friday. Had it been 40 metres out with 90 seconds to go instead of early first quarter on centre wing then we could easily be the side taking consolation medicine tonight.
I'm not hanging him for it or suggesting anything more than he needs to steel himself to tidy it up, but it's a concern.
Trendy gimmicks like mindfulness come and go but the footy doesn't care about them. All the footy cares about is who commits themselves physically to it and commits to winning it.
That's what our side does more than anything and what makes us successful. He has to deliver it at all times, not just when he is the hunter.
It's still only his second year in the system. Going OK. Ezy Jr is right.
Fantastic. Hope someone tells Pickett this.Lethal Matthews was also far from impressed with Marlion’s few short step moments and stated he is no automatic selection for GF
He made a few mistakes early but did he get back into the saddle?He played well when it counted on Friday night but he also stood under the ball early in the first, ducked his head, gave a half effort and let Port take it away.
