Hey unk, welcome back where you been?
Yep, Cox would be at the top of the tree, but he ain’t coming back, so NN will do it for me 8 days a week.
I float in and out s58. Yeah i was only reporting on NN, when “rating” great ruckman. Cox was the best ive seen in 20 plus years.
Eags dark horse for the flag i reckon. Only weakness i see, is they dont “like” hard dirty footy, BUT skills wise up there with the best. Cats a bit lucky with the last kick last night BUT…dogs should have run down the clock better. IMHO
Agree with you. I don’t think the Eagles can’t handle the travelling, I think it’s more the “dirty footy” you talk about that they struggle with. Good to be a free flowing team, but sometimes they have to dig in.
Elliot Yeo changes that though, he is one of the best in the business when things start getting “dirty.”
On Natanui and Cox, I would say Natanui is a great ruckman, Cox was a great player. NN would kill Cox in the ruck contests, Cox would kill NN around the ground.
Great analysis ToO.
Nic Nat one dimensional…COX not

Fair call Too, its not just about relying on Yeo though, lack of tackles ( imho) seems to run a bit deep. Darling Cripps Ryan Kelly ( afew others as well) very good players, but often dont tend to tackle that much ( i could be wrong)

With Brisbane grinding a win V the Kangaroos.And probably securing a top 4 place.With there Gabba home ground advantage.
Sydney great start but first year player burnout now,but top 8.
Port Adelaide with the 2021 dream draw.Lost 250 game Robbie Grey for a few weeks.Dont look like there midfield can challenge top 4.Butters and Dersma will be huge inclusions.
West Coast huge win last home game,Gain Yeo and lose Kelly same game.Away from home??.Some promising young players Unearthed.Out 2nd week of finals
Richmond??? Have a good home run at the Mcg.Dont think they can win the flag but can win 2 final matches..
Melbourne bad last start.Buckley in his last pies coaching game.Might of broke down Goodwins game plan.Running the ball from half back in numbers.Through the midfield.Low and fast forward..Lever and May where caught out waiting for the intersept bomb fwd.
Western Bulldogs desperately unlucky V Geelong.Amazing season with a huge injury list.Hold to see who’s in and out.
Geellong wow.Will there aging list hold up Al season.Cameron what a recruit .Hold atm the current form team
