    Ironically, he played one of the best games of his career in a final....The prelim against the Kangas in 2014....As a running halfback..

    From memory he had about 25 touches and was one of the best on ground.

    Sadly he went missing in action the next week, and has rarely been sighted in a final since.
    Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

    Wish I could believe them. They've been saying it's going to "rain" for months now.
    Hopefully it does (my garden needs it desperately), and hopefully it stops in time for the SCG to drain.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

    Once. Preliminary final against North playing backline at ANZ. Best game of his career.

    On 2nd thoughts...This will be played like a final, so..

    OUT : Fox, Franklin

    IN : Dawson, Grundy

    Towers has been found wanting, when the heat is on.
    Wasn’t he one of the best players in the elimination final against the Dons last year?

    Last year against the Suns in round 16 Gary kicked 5 goals and 3 got Brownlow votes (only votes in his career I think). At the rate he's going, I figure he's due for another big game in 2026.

    Gary kicked 4 against the hawks in a close loss at the scg a few years back too (2016?)

    He has all the attributes but the more I see him the more I think he lacks general match awareness and knowledge of where to run to have an impact.

    Edit: it was in 2016 and he kicked 4.1 - was the dominant forward on the ground that day

    Gary Rohan's Best scoring was 5 Goals one Behind at 2017 Round 16 Against the Suns at SCG (https://afltables.com/afl/stats/game...020170708.html)

    Rohan is an mystery. He looks like a footballer, he can run fast, he can kick, he can mark, he's been around forever, he seems
    very pumped about playing, yet he gets so little of the ball. Can he just not read the play very well? Does he not lead enough?
    Do the others not pass to him? All of the above maybe?
    Is there a 20 possession a game, 35 goals a year guy somewhere in there under that red hair that needs to be unlocked somehow?
    We could do with that player if he can be found.

    You can wish all you want, but if you arent a star by the time you are 26/27, you'll never be. *

    Some players look just look like footballers, but just arent.
    Robinson also looks like a footballer, but so far.....

    * Before someone plucks a counter-example out of obscurity, this is a generalisation, true 90% of the time.

    Rohan's best decision for his career may be to try another club. Under a different system/coach/game-style he may flourish.

    Kennett is Buddy Bagging V Hawks saying his form doesn’t stack up too well.

    I wonder if this will help his groin recover quickly ?

    Kennett is a tosser of the highest order.

    Rohan played well in the Geelong prelim and he was OK coming on as sub against the Dockers in 2013. Prelims seem to be his go!
