I did read an article on the afl website explaining how well he's been playing. Good for him.
I find it interesting you chose to believe the afl website over posters on woof!

I see what you’re doing GG. You won’t post if Levi kicks a goal but you didn’t say anything about him kicking 2 or more.
And this is our biggest weakness.

Maybe, but this is the first game we’ve seen all year with our preferred KPD set up, which I personally am a bit bullish on. I have somehow watched a ton of GC this year and have been really impressed by their forward mix, but am not gonna go so far as to be full on concerned until I see how Keath, Gardner and O’Brien work together.

Why do you say that? We are 4th for most inside 50s, just short of top, so we are creating lots of opportunities.

I thought it was all part of some adolescent hijinx.

Getting it in there is one thing but maximising the entry is entirely different. Buku was the first player outside Weightman that constantly looked to provide multiple options deep in the forward line. Our forward line is a bit of a shambles really and I haven't looked but our i50 / goal ratio would be dropped lasagne. I'm probably wrong but it sorta feels that way.

I’m pretty sure this stat is right. Between our reliance on Naughton to create every opportunity, inaccuracy and lack of goals from the mids (when they’re playing as mids) our efficiency is way down. We need Bruce and Cody back badly.

It's interesting that we haven't played Bedendo yet. I wonder what the delay is. We've played almost everyone else on the list and seem to have a pressing need for a natural medium Dickson-type forward who marks and kicks the ball well. Maybe not a natural forward but he's a good size and mark in the hybrid-high forward Georgiades mould. Not only that his bio states he can play pretty much anywhere and I guess that's why we were into him. I know he hasn't been setting the world on fire at Footscray but I'd be keen take a look.
Anyone know why he's been overlooked?

We are ranked 8th for scoring, but agree we should be higher. We have kicked 110 goals and 105 behinds :eek:

Since he broke his hand at the start of the first quarter v Richmond and had a few weeks off, he has come back playing on a wing for some reason. VFL team is not exactly flushed with goal kickers either. He has only played 3 games this year.

Secretly GG was trying to get both Casboult and Greenwood to the club so he could have his best pair of Levi's. :)

He was injured for a little bit and hasn’t been super awesome since he got back in. He’s still really slight and I don’t see what he offers that Buku doesn’t offer more of.

Haha you can retire on that.
Greenwood is actually playing at Deer Park not far from me.
Re: List Managment thread (For 2022)
If Bruce gets back to decent shape, Weightman comes in and Buku stays good we have something of a working forwardline. At minimum one slot will always be set aside for a midfielder so maybe there's room for a Wallis or a McNeil or Bedendo or whoever puts their hand up.

Be interesting to see how Bruce goes. He looks fit still.
Probably a couple of games in the VFL and then straight in.
