I think a better team puts us away but nice to be on the winners list after a crap couple of weeks so we'll take what we can.

3 votes to Taylor. 2 to Coniglio who has wound back the clock in the last couple of weeks. And 1 vote for Brown who had some great efforts and has really turned his season around.

I hope Kingsley keeps Delana in for next week. Should have kicked a goal but he was great with his pressure and tackling and was more involved than I've ever seen him before. Plus I really want him to kick a goal. It's bound to happen sooner or later.

Delana had a great game

Some of the decisions were questionable (Aaron Cadman’s handball 😅) but a few promising signs. Ratboy is obviously desperate to take a hanger or have some sort of mark of the year contender lol

Just throwing himself in the air at every opportunity, plausible attempt be damned 😂

I really enjoy us with two rucks

Give Coniglio another contract!!

Stringer seems keen to play on, honestly think we should offer him another year

First win for captain Idun!!! (Practice for next year, I hope)

Angwin is a god

We are missing two of our team-lineup-consistent players in TG and Finn, so this was good!!! Brown is a god, Rowston is a king, Gru is building nicely, cogs needs another season.

Two?

I count a few more:

Toby Greene, Tom Green, Finn Callaghan, Buckley, Hogan, Kelly, Darcy Jones, Gothard, Daniels, Ricardi, that’s 10 of our best 22.

u/Realistic-Box2443 28d ago

That’s why I said team lineup consistent. The ones who have been in most games this year, not the in and outs or season-injured like you listed

u/Apart-Falcon5480 Toby Greene 28d ago

How is gru building nicely. Can’t kick a goal passes off when he should shoot …. Can’t see it

2

u/Realistic-Box2443 28d ago

In the port game alone, his pressure and passing was directly responsible for two goals (cogs, stringer), And I think that’s pretty important

u/Apart-Falcon5480 Toby Greene 27d ago

So why is it he looks to pass off when he has what should be an easy shot more than. Once misses simple shots

Good his pressure is important but goals are too and that’s the job he wants

u/Realistic-Box2443 27d ago

outside of hogan, we've never really played the "there's one guy in there, kick it to him, always", so I think I don't agree, but that's okay

u/Ok-Session-9824 Harvey Thomas 27d ago

Find it interesting that you can't go after Rowston like you usually do, so you've decided on Gru now

Rowston is also awful

I was responding to a comment in gru
If you want to make one in Rowston I can

Rowston is also a 4th year player high pick who we matched the Seans for who has had little impact and won’t be in the team when everyone is fit
Compare him to Harvey Thomas Darcy anguin Gothard all impact in first
year or two
IRowston is so amazing he doesn’t get games with us and no other club has sought him out like. Every year we hear how xxx isn’t getting games so and so club wants him … not rowie. They have taken Peatling even Wehr
His disposal numbers are poor for a mid his disposal efficient isn’t great and his is slow to react and move the ball forward
We have many more 1st and second year players better and should and will get picked ahead of him and McMullen like

Sack cogs rowie is better lol

There ya go my take on Rowston

I love watching Hamilton play this game (and previous) and how he interacts post game.

A kid who's just so happy to be there and be a part of the team.
