Always Right Match Committee Round 17 VS Port Adelaide

[Bulldog Joe]

Good points but I haven't read anything suggesting or taking an issue with him potentially earning top tier money from the game when that has been discussed. While we might be prepared to pay full market odds for his services at some point the market becomes a scale more than investing on potential and results will need to come.
If we should lower bar with him as some suggest he might never achieve what he is capable of. At the moment I grant that it's premature but unless he starts putting in some good games it will become a talking point.
I'm not comparing him to Buddy or anyone else as that wouldn't be fair but he's clearly out of form.

i am all in that Marra should never lower his expectation and he should always strive to improve.

However, as supporters we should be more inclined to accept what is delivered provided that we see him striving to be his best.

Good point and yesterday I don't we can fairly question his intent so the cards just didn't fall his way.
For a decent part of the season though it's harder not to ask the question.

Can't agree. Lack of intent illustrated by failure to hold a single mark or lay a tackle. 2024 averages are 5 marks and 5 tackles. Worse than usual.

So Dixon is out. Todd Marshall did his hammy today. Who are the tall Port Forwards? How many tall defenders do we need to play? Especially if it is wet (current foreast is for 60% chance of rain and windy).

Finlayson. Then who?

Both Finlayson and Georgiades are capable of really hurting us because they're not small movement big forwards.

I?m just hyped for English vs Sweet.

I hadn't thought about that match up good point. You would thing Sweet would want to prove something against English.

[Happy Days]

English will wreck Sweet come on now. I get we all hate him now but he’s not *that* bad.

It's more about Sweet being amazing.

How many boundary throw-ins will we see Timmy behind Sweet? That will depend on how many boundary throw-ins there are.

English will destroy sweet around the ground.

English can match Sweet at taps so I'm happy with our guy.

Yes. He has to really make him pay with his endurance. Get forward and cash in. He just needs to break even at the contest.

[Rocco Jones]

I don't believe Sweet's endurance is the thing, well it's not great but he works hard, which makes up for it.

His glarring weakness in how bad he is in a marking contest. Just has no idea. Particularly hurtful when his opponent goes forward, he struggles to be competitive at all. Last two weeks, Big O and RoMa (missed a sitter too) have both kicked 3 goals up against him whilst taking vast majority of ruck work.

Our guys wants a $1mil a year, their guy gets paid a pie & coke per game.
