That's what I noticed in the reserves last week. I think as we develop this will become more prominent. I think the AFL match centre commentary said we were uo 40 on uncontested possessions from last week. Players like Brown Campbell Sonsie and Yze believes Banks will improve our ability to play this game.
I didn't see the game but congrats to Maurice. I did see his last play where he turned a three on zero 15 metres out into a point (sans siren) so still needs to work on his offence. Yze was quite glowing but also realistic in that they have to coach Maurice to take a breath when he gets the ball. Looks like he has a good handle and also backs himself in. He said not only his tackles but his work in defensive structures is spot on, they actually show his stuff to others.
I think we really just want Marlion to get to the 100 games for the F/S possibilities. But 18 games to go is looking a long way down the road. I was unimpressed with his game today again - he looked cooked in Q4 and not that interested. Was thinking he should have been subbed after that lazy kick on the far wing that gave the Swans opponent, trailing by about 10m, an equal chance in the contest again. Just crucial errors.Won't be there in 2025.
Yes, did little effectively. Disappointing game and some of the usual brain fades per usual. Luckily TL stepped up and found some form today against a top opponent.Is Balta injured?
Thought Balta looked under the weather from the first bounce. Think I posted that in the 2nd qtr. Noticeably struggling when the siren went. Believe he may not have trained during the week either so likely he is carrying something.Yes, did little effectively. Disappointing game and some of the usual brain fades per usual.

Na, that was a bad kick by Shai. MRJ was gassed and it didn't matter but the kick was the reason we didn't score.I didn't see the game but congrats to Maurice. I did see his last play where he turned a three on zero 15 metres out into a point (sans siren) so still needs to work on his offence.
Watching the third quarter and he is dynamic and really propelling us fowardI think we really just want Marlion to get to the 100 games for the F/S possibilities.

Just like KMac - the mistakes and turnovers just drive you spare and cost us goals ... often. Defensively and offensively.
Crazy. It was his best game for ages. He didn't make many mistakes at all. He tackled well, always provided an option, had sticky hands for some difficult takes. He was critical to the win.I think we really just want Marlion to get to the 100 games for the F/S possibilities. But 18 games to go is looking a long way down the road.

Or do you mean that each game has a varied system of rules and penalty adjudications?Outrageous. That non decision sums up what is wrong with the game at the moment.
They were both gassed. Bolton covered a huge amount of ground in the last, very tired kickNa, that was a bad kick by Shai. MRJ was gassed and it didn't matter but the kick was the reason we didn't score.
Nothing justifies a team not having their players' actions on the field not adjudicated the same as every other team. Just as the rules must be the same for every team, every game.Yes every fan feels the same but we have the historical facts to prove it. I think it's 2014 since we've had a positive season free kick count. But yeah we were last for frees and still won the premierships in 2017 and 2020 so a good team will overcome it.
Nah Leon. Marlion was Marlion, the same one we have had for 82 games.I think we really just want Marlion to get to the 100 games for the F/S possibilities.

His third quarter was elite. Admittedly wasn't great all day but his 3Q kept us in it.Watching the third quarter and he is dynamic and really propelling us foward
