Kick the f*ckin' goal

At the risk of opening a pandoras box full of worms,

Is it possible that Leppa creates Notorius in his own image?

and he becomes the ultimate CHB/CHF swingman?

Its an old fashion, but very potent weapon.
When Down To Love get back, he can play deep and Noah higher, so that when he wins the ball back, instead of charging 5-10m and chipping a kick or spearing a handpass to the top of the 50, he gets the ball at the 50, charges through the centre square and lobs one in the goal square.

Yep something for him and Leppa to work on. Out positioned dixon a couple of times well but needs to make sure he contests for the ball in the process.
Spot on. Still needs to make getting hands to the ball his objective. That was also Rance's issue when playing on the really big key forwards. He struggled too. Travis Cloke used to worry him and I remember a young Tom Lynch kicking a few on him at an MCG game that we won easily.

When Down To Love get back,

and so, DTLD became

Down to Love.

and not the tennis context, but Love will Conquer context

It all comes Down to Love

and with Love Machine and Down to Love in the same back 6,

Love will surely prevail?

Perhaps some of the boys have been taking this too literally while locked in the hub? Don't mention that word.

Our back 6 reads like a *smile* roller derby team

B: Negative Co-Dependence; Down to Love; Animal Attraction

HB: Savage Little Love; Whole Lotta Love; Richmond Greatest Love Machine

a gold star if you can translate the back 6

The King of Gold Coast is very, very impressive. Blistering pace, agility and marks the ball at its highest point. Remember him smashing the GF sprint? Ran past Noah like he was standing still.
Notorious will have his work cut out for him. Wouldn’t mind giving him an easier task this week and letting Optimus sharpen his elbows on Kings noggin

Commentators built King up like you wouldnt believe in the build up - yet nothing said about Balta pantsing him. Dominated him I thought.
