Ball to go with Selwood, Adams to go with Caddy. Caff to Johnson and Langdon on Bartel for mine.

Yep, we know what he's capable of against mediocre opposition or when the game has been won and he chimes in with pressureless goals. Yet to see him play 4 quality quarters. Yet to see him work hard for 4 quarters. Yet to see him work hard when he doesn't have the ball. Alex is a tease; exquisite skills, but lazy and unaccountable. I'd love to be proved wrong, but I'll be surprised if Alex amounts to anything. Having said that, it is 1am and I've had far too many. Alex may look more attractive in the morning

Very harsh Neil on young Fas. He's not that bad. he's been injured for a very long time now in a short career. I reckon sub is a good place for him atm.
I'd like to Ben Kennedy in, some more zip & pace.

probably explains why they have played him defence these last few games.

Was arguably one of the best players in the VFL last weekend so not too surprising.
9. Marty Clarke
Statistics: 16 kicks, 3 marks, 10 handballs, 23 disposals, 0 clearances, 1 inside 50, 0 rebound 50s, 1 tackle
Craig McRae Says: I thought Marty had probably his best game at this level. He definitely improved on the week before, playing his role really well on the wing and at half back. Were encouraging him to run longer hes the most elite runner we have so we want to see that in games. His work rate back to help out the defence and rebound we saw, and I just think his maturity and leadership for the younger players in crucial times when the game was on the line in the last quarter shone through. He stood up.

But Faz really? Against the cats really? I just hope they put Sidey down back and give Faz the run up forward. If Faz plays back we're doomed. |
two of our best kicks running up and down the wings and running through either the back or forward lines when rotations and game play requires it. |
Well said, JW. That's exactly how I see it.
Fas has been tried down back in the vfl and has shown some form so I don't understand the sense of doom if he plays down there. I can't wait to see how he goes there, and personally, I'm pretty confident he'll do well.

| The match ups in the midfield will be very interesting. I reckon we'll see: Caff to Selwood and Lumumba to take Johnson. He's played on him before IIRC and done ok. Ball to run with Bartel in the middle and Toovey to take Stokes. |

i question the accuracy of these stats. for example, how do 16 kicks and 10 handballs translate to 23 disposals (or were some of his kicks so bad that they werent worth a disposal?)
