Lyon perfected the 3rd man up. He used it to beat us at Subiaco 3 years ago when Maric was held back by one ruckman and the other thumped the ball forward unopposed leading to a Freo goal on the buzzer to sink us.......

From Benny Griffiths' interview from up in Cairns:

* "The way I’m going at the moment, I’m definitely pushing myself to new levels. I’ve trimmed down a little bit just to try and increase my endurance base. But, for me, the main thing’s contested marking, as it is for most of the taller guys".

Took 1 mark from 47 1v1 contests last year. Didn't show anything last night to make me think he's improved that. We need to upgrade.

Thought he played okay but maybe that's just comparing him to the rest of the junk

What was with the helmet?

Clearly fancies himself as the next Dunstall....

Was ok  but didn't change my opinion one bit that we'll be far better served in the long run playing McBean, with Vickery in the ruck....

On the negative side, he just didn't take enough marks, didn't impose himself on contests and was beaten in the ruck.

On the positive side, his field kicking was just great. Set up 3 of our goals with beautifully weighted kicks.

Agree. His field kicking is brilliant and could be a real weapon. Just gets the yips close to goal.

Should've taken a few of the kick ins.....if you have a bloke who can easily clear the forward press then ffs at least use him occasionally...

Fair point but I think the plan is for him to be on the end of a kick in ( as opposed to a Freo player).
