Danger game this one, after last years disaster which has been described as the "biggest upset of the decade"
Strangely I feel more confident in the post round 6 2019 version of the Swans than in the 2018 one. It feels like a big step forward has taken place.
I'm expecting Horse to do what he said.
OUT: Buddy
IN: McCartin
Wasn't this game last year Darcy Cameron's one and only AFL appearance? If Sinkers doesn't get up, what are his chances? Pretty low I reckon
If sinkers doesnt get up, and buddy out, then we must shoot from the grassy knoll.
Out: Sinkers, Buddy
In: Knoll, McCartin.
although I think sinkers will be ok.
From the NEAFL streams I’ve been watching Knoll is nowhere near ready - either around the ground OR ruckwork You’d be setting him up for the rest of the seasons worth of ridicule on RWO. Simply NOOriginally Posted by barry
Yep I'd agree with this, needs more time at NEAFL level
Yep McCartin for Buddy looks like the only change.
I really don't rate Clarke, yes he can tag but he absolutely butchers the ball every time he gets it.
Would much prefer a Rowbottom, Stoddart type come in and playing the tagging role while they develop their game.
Have to disagree, I watched him closely on replay and I don't reckon his disposal is any worse than a lot of our other players. He is often at the coalface where the heat and pressure is greatest so that limits exact disposal.
I think this has become an urban myth, we only see the disposals that he mucks up so it perpetuates he's a poor ball user. I haven't seen any stats (someone on here can quote them I'm sure), but I reckon his would look ok.
You may be right but he definitely has to improve his decision making in traffic (and he is in traffic a lot, due to his role atm), often treating the ball like a 'hot potato' and offloading to a team mate under more pressure than he....and also needs to continue do a lot of work on his delivery by hand and foot when he does have time to make a sensible decision. I am all for him retaining his spot atm though.....due to his effective tagging and his tank.
Clarke has the tank to run with the best outside mids, not sure the others do yet.
Which one is Clarke and which JPK?
20 disposals at 70% efficiency. 1 Clanger.
19 disposals at 58%. 6 clangers.
JPK is a bit rusty atm yes.....He will improve.🙏
Handballing to someone putting them under extreme pressure is still counted as 'efficient' so totally useless to quote stats like these.
Clarke panics when he has the ball and dishes off quickly to the nearest person.
I would much rather him try and take the game on and back himself.
Please watch a game replay, only a couple of those when he was under pressure to release, all players have those or they get done HTB.
Thanks for the DE stats
