Bit of a headache those two games.
Cogs injury scare but played well in the 2nd half. 61% TOG so not concerned with the score. The ball was attracted to Finn anytime I watched. Not sure how much extra TOG is in him (played 66%) and role wasn't great, but otherwise looked good. Green 17CP+7CL, but the 61% TOG for Cogs and 68% TOG for Perryman could dampen that a tiny bit. No comment on Cumming who I'm very happy with, although Whitfield's first half was scary, receiving off half-back so much. Jelly looked great, but I can't go there. Looks like CBA's will be Green/Perryman/Cogs/Kelly (no Finn) for the most part, so that's good news for all of them (not Perryman but the other 3 anyway)
Flanders passes the eye test still, despite no CBA's. Like him a lot. Constable lock for at least bench spot. Long had a good ratio, but Macpherson taking too much ball for mine, at least that can rule Long out. Witts solid.
Assuming Cunnington played heavily mid (9 clearances) - it could be safe to assume he's too much a negative impact on LDU. Also think North will remain near the bottom but it's hard to tell since Dogs have always had such a dominant midfield. Sheezel classy. Goater quiet? Didn't watch most of the game. Phillips another that can get off the field as a few here have said.
Dogs just racked it up, nothing has changed there! Mclean role too poor, Liam Jones looked amazing... English not terrible, 6 clangers including at least 1 50m penalty would hurt the score. Bont locked. Another headache with Macrae who's role looked fine?
One more game to come and I'm positive it will give us more headaches
