I thought his first was even better.
First was good but thought he wasn't going for goal and got a good bounce

Second he was under immense pressure and didn't have time to take possession - just guided it on the outside of the boot quick enough to avoid the smother and angled it perfectly

Shai's kicked some amazing goals this year - may it long continue

He adds something else that Performing Aarts & Georgie Boy have at times struggled.
Also adding at times Scissorhands Edwards in the mix is a thing of beauty.
Rioli hitting some form and we have a different group of the ‘three amigos’ of 2017.
If those three can apply enough pressure, intensity & crumbing goals we should really be ‘up to our eyeballs’ as the saying goes against PA....


Can they do it?

Both Shedda's goals were roving to Shai's crumbs, working beautifully together.

yep, sheds has finally found a contemporary,

and it is truly beautiful.
If these two can spend more time forward with our midfield inclusions could go a long way to deciding the game.

We have got to take our chances and apply as much heat to their backs and not allowing easy transition from the back half.

My new favourite centre square combo:
Edwards - hand work
Cotchin - grunt work
Bolton - foot work
Martin - ruck work - don't argue - he's a ruck now

He’s also kicked the best point against Brisbane last week. Damn you snicko.

... and When speaking of great points who can forget the sealer against GWS that wasn’t a sealer in 2017?

Good game from Shai without being a star. Was one of the few players on the ground who handled the ball like it was dry. Very clean with his hands. Is doing what Rioli isn't - running forward as soon as he gets it in his hands. Very important player for us now, another one that gives us great flexibility

This guy and Sheds to do the business next week.

Wasnt dominant tonight but was clean and lead the way with a few others in that first half with his ball winning.

Was bit wasteful but he was getting it.

Was trying but not effective 1st half but was a big contributor in 2nd half. Intercept mark in fwd pocket late in third was a big play.
Maybe most improved in league in 2020.
250 game player, potential match winner.
