    You may well be right. The lasting image from that game, besides the winning goal was the helmeted Griffiths sprinting away from the helmeted Richards to kick a goal

    I, too, would have thought Rohan needs more time in the 2s, based on what I've seen so far this year. I will defer to the match committee's judgement, and I certainly don't know opposition teams as well as other RWOers with their insights, for which I'm grateful. But I am confident in thinking that if Gary doesn't play tighter than he has at other times in defence, it will be to our disadvantage. Another observation that isn't mine but I thought perceptive was a commentator's reflection that his style of manic chase-downs may contribute to some degree to his injuries. I see this as being an important game for Gary. I hope he does well.

    Pleased that Tippett has not been recalled.

    Rohan better get 15+ possessions, or this move is a failure.

    Rohan offers more than possessions. He'd be judged also on tackles, turnovers created, contested marks, score involvements, smothers, spoils.

    Reckon the 2015 game was worse. Felt the season slipped then and we didn't get it back.

We may prefer to keep Marsh in, drop Melican and bring in some more leg speed in Rohan or possible Dawson based on excellent NEAFL form
    Good call.

    The thing with Red Rover is that he might only get 6 possessions and kick 2 goals. Do that every week, which is quite on the cards, and he becomes a major asset.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    I hope this means Rohan will play in defence...Because his form up forward has been ordinary to say the least.

    I fear he'll be playing his usual 11 possession game up forward.

    I would of much preferred to see Aliir come in for Melican, to be that attacking defender we need.
    Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

    The only thing Rohan offers more than possessions is the occasional spectacular sprint. Then goes missing for a quarter.

    Jetta just played the game a speedy outside player should. 20 possessions and a goal or two.

    I would like our players to implement the art of the (still) legal fend off more often .... Dusty does it many times in a game ... and the other guy is usually left sprawled on the ground.

    Jones isn't too bad at it. It's so effective and quick to create space and then balance up.
    It's a millisecond thing .


    Yes, it was good to see Jetta with his Mojo back ...
    In good touch , he's excellent... and a pity he left to go home...
