Dayemm. Forgot about that, Brodders. Yeah. Might be too late.
Oh, yeah, wiggly. Bit of pressure on. Stack might be pressing too.
If he's have kicked that goal, no-one would even be talking about whether he plays this weekend. Plus I'd have hoped that he'd have done the bow and arrow straight back at Dudsma.
At the very least every team should play each other , so 20 games
The Deep Dive: The AFL's pressure beasts
There are many ways to judge an AFL player's in-game influence, but don't forget about perhaps the most crucial element in this sport - pressure.
Lynch in the top 10!
I'm not sure why some people are questioning MJ's worth to the side. IMO he's a lock.The Deep Dive: The AFL's pressure beasts

I see what Jack's saying about it being better for MoJu's development if we could have given him a few more VFA games, but the A's definitely need him in.
Just shows how important this kid is to the slide. Amazing stat to see.The Deep Dive: The AFL's pressure beasts

Lynch in the top 10!
Also just as amazing is Tom Lynch. Top effort by Tom with only 16 games.
Agree with all of that.My take was that MoJu was promoted on the back of Edwards missing, CT. But, as you say, maybe that's not right. My lament is that MoJu has missed the easy kills we had lined up for him. And the confidence and experience boost.
A month ago sent him to the Magoos to work on "creativity with the ball". He got one game against North and was very, very quiet for the first half. Probably on the back of his foregoing personal leave entitlements that week IMO. All fair enough. But he didn't get the development into him.
Nankervis played against Norfs having been scanned for PCL damage and electing to play. He was unmercifully flogged. Because IMO he was injured but playing. Lynch injured.
The next week against Freo we had to play Nankervis because no Lynch (injured). We knew that he wouldn't jump all game. I assumed because PCL. So we played Nank forward and Soldo did all the jumping.
If Nankervis in peak form plays #1 forward the ball is going to come out real hard because he will play shallow too often and still won't catch it. If he's got wobbly knee it's going to come out harder. Big trouble looming in the Freo game.
Further to that the Levi's Dockers have a fleet of running backs that set them up for a lot of their hurt. The Freo game looks as wobbly as Nank's knee did that day.
In the stands I was praying that MoJU would be sub and nobody was surprised when Dimma rorted the rule and brought MoJu on. It wasn't quite enough to get us over the line but it helped.
MoJu missed a second straight week of "creativity with the ball" development. Planned development.
Used as sub again the next week against he got it three times. Missed development. But he did get it twelve times against Port and had many almost moments.
Maybe we think we can level him up anyway. He got close last week. We'll see.
On the question of who might come into the side, CT, I read that you went to the VFA on the weekend. Who do you reckon might be close?
It was supposed to be a development year for junior.
It might be a premiership year instead.
What's the Rioli rule? Second year's a flag?
As for who comes in - the seconds had bullants bye last week, and a real one this week. No exposed form means no changes.
He might get a confidence boost today, CT. Just the tonic for a finals campaign. Totally agree on the bye last week.
