Braisy Glaze, I'm glad to see Titch retained this week. I don't think he'll get the chop again unless he fully counters the coach's instructions. He's struggling a bit by hand and his kicking is a problem but he's doing the hard yards and until he met the diligent Crow midfield was getting a few clearances a game.
He's only 19. Maybe he's the advertised 71kgs. He was credited with IIRC three tackles last week but twelve didn't stick. He'll never be a monster but we've lightened him off a little bit, I reckon, to get some zip back into him. And he will go in, chase and run the length of the ground both ways.
And we will get three or four more kegs on him and those tackles will stick in time. Then there's also the remote chance that one of his mates will help him out.
NB at 19yo he plays midfield regularly and can get the ball. Major indicator. We've seen his hands when he has more time and I have no doubt they'll be just as smart in the cauldron in time.
Morton I think is purely in for structural reasons and given that he is thieving oxygen in our jumper I reckon he should've been chopped. I don't care if Connors defecated in Wallet's lap(top); He should get a gig ahead of the this impostor. Morton should be in the thirds and punted at year's end.
Glad to see Cartledge given a game. Although I reckon Gus has a better future because I don't think neat skills are at issue in the ruck these days. It's collision talent that matters. But Cartledge gets a chance to earn a spot.
Axel has been just a bit off his game for most of the year but he draws a top quality tag and he attracts plenty of opposition aggression at the stoppages. I'd like to see him given a bit more space for a year or more. Change him HBF, HFF, I don't care but he is carrying too big a burden for one so small.
Given that his kicking is 5-10m short of his best I cred the OP rumour. And Lynden Dunn gave him a 5m start over 20m and a beating a coupla months back. Can't extend. I won't mind if he gets an extra three weeks to get right. We don't want to Luke Ball him. I don't want to ball him at all.
