There were a hell of a lot of positives tonight. Toumpas, Kent, Hogan, Viney and a gameplan. I'd love it if we could focus on the positives....for once

Not fussed about resluts - clearly weaker side v the Tigers

4th qtr (2nd half v tigers) less upmiring involvement - liked it

Boys 1st game up - so real positiives from the new boys. Long way to go, but I am still looking forward to the real stuff....

I will throw some random obervations out there

McKenzie great off ball - terrible with ball

Sylvia - 1 dimensional - hope he can prove me wrong

Apart from that hard to take much else from the game - if you don't have love for J Hogan you are not human...

Lyndon dunne loving his game keep stirring the pot love it get under there skin

It being consistant with 2012 is worth reading into.

Yep, don't want to slash my wrists just yet but it did have a familiar look. Trying to stay positive.

...knew write didn't look right, too many head knocks playing footy.

Kept them goaless in Q2. Won 2/4 qtrs

Yeah but I want a win. Really want a win. We don't look close.

oh dear here we go again.

All very familar

I am tired and it is only 22nd February

Toumpas, Viney, Dawes, Rodan, Byrnes in for round 1. Smokey: Kent

Neither Gillies nor Terlich are replacements for Rivers. Didn't mind Dunn though.

Our game plan sucks. Still cant win a possesion count! Our skills havent improved. Only posite was toumpas hogan and viney. Oh and i really feel for nathan jones..

I can definately see improvement from last year. Really good effort against the Roos and we were up against fresh legs against the Tigers. Toumpas and Viney both played well and Hogan is a beast (WHY CAN'T HE PLAY THIS YEAR?)

Helps if you can win the contested ball.......... we will struggle again in 2013 - boys are too young...

Expect to be beaten in the possession count - we need to convert opportunities - hopefully a strong forward line will help us win games

I have been saving it all last year and nothing suggested otherwise tonight.

He is a good scragger, while he is a regular in the 22 we are going nowhere fast.

Aaron Davey....MIA.

Hogan rocks. Ill say it again - all the players Iiked tonight were new players other than Watts. Our defense is seriously missing Rivers and too many clangers!

Aaron Davey....MIA.

he was already better than the last two seasons for mine even though he was beaten

Hogan, Viney, Toumpas, Pederson and Kent all looked tidy.

That's the key, keeping up forward pressure...well, one key!

We showed a bit. We look quite fit and a few of our new players were quite promising. Hogan looks the goods and Viney is a real goer. Watts and Dunn were both good down back and we ran the 2nd game out well.

Attack on the ball was good and our overall endeavor was pleasing. Just need to finish better and improve our disposal. Thought our style of play was interesting - we brought the ball back into the corridor nicely and we kicked long and accurately to position on occasions.

We had a whole bunch of new players in and it will take a little while for it to all gel. We didn't let the Tigers get away from us too much. Overall - reasonably pleased. That's a good hit out.

Amen to that.

Did I miss something, or was Strauss not out there???

Spencer and Frawley injured during 2nd game

FFS, those going a bit hard, try remember we had probably over a third of a team in both games, who had never played with the squad before in anything resembling a real game, will need more than that to blen properly.

Other than a bit of first half vs tigers, not unhappy with tonight

Strauss didn't front

yeah that is what I thought as well. I couldnt see any of those guys second game. Clearly we can tell whose going to be in the side for round 1 and it will be most of the above.

You're kidding mate?

192cm, 95kg and gets rag dolled by a 22 year old in Vickery. Weak as [censored], Lynden, and almost as embarrassing as Spencer.
