I traded Marshall to get Brayshaw in but he has shown he can kick goals if playing forward.
I'm confident Hayes will get at least 65 as he can play a utility role eg on a wing .
Wouldn’t mind Hayes drifting forward…. He showed he has the potential with 3 goals in his first game….he doesn’t win many tap outs but is decent around the ground…

Be more worried that their were less than 53,000 @ the G last night.

2-0 where was Fly's Black N White Army ?

I thought I read their were no crowd restrictions
I agree, despite the collapse in the last quarter (still plenty of young guys and players who haven't played much with each other), Collingwood have played the best footy they've played for years so far this season and are a good side to watch.

Enjoyed Fly's after match presser , hope he tore strips off the players in private in the dressing room though , you don't give up 6 goal leads (think he could deliver a very decent spray if he has too)

Interesting he said we faded in the last quarter against the Crows as well so he may have to tinker with the manic chaos game style (hope not).

When we harass , pressure , tackle , work for each other , we can compete with anyone.

What the hell went on with McDonald??? Couldn’t get near it or were north just a bunch of witches hats?
Both. I can't remember the last time a saw a team allow more easy marks on the lead or to free players inside 50, and when North's defenders did get the ball they couldn't hang onto it. It was a truly shocking display.

Whitfield runs so hard for no reward. So often they kick it to the next person in the space he created because he ran so hard to provide an option. Not sure if he is running to the wrong space or just unlucky.
Still he scored a 96 though, at least there some kind of promise now, that’s acceptable as a keeper defender.

Is their a stat that actually shows how many teams win a clearance from a CBA or are most of the times the ball is neutral/in dispute and results in another ballup ?

Or probably more important is what HTA go to which team mates ?

eg how often does Gawn target Oliver & Petracca is the outlet/release or does he also target Petracca and the 3rd player

Haven't watched the Eagles yet but they definitely run set plays for Nic Nat especially at boundary throw ins

I assume rucks have certain players they prefer to hit too , I guess then if the player receives the HTA it is then what they do with it

Fascinated how people are fixated on people just because they attend a CBA.

Surely they have similar opportunities for a clearance etc at a in game stoppage or boundary throw in which based on watching games on TV I am sure their are more of in any case , although granted their would be more players around these stoppages.
