Tipped Saints by 46, expect it to be about that with the wind at their back.

getting slaughtered in midfield no surprise there. jamar has worked tirelessly but their mids are quicker to the contest, he has been leading well to little reward and scrambling at the bottom of packs too so I think jamar has been ok.

terlich starting to get a few touches, reminds me of whopper Walsh, no frills but works hard.

toumpas struggling, made a couple of basic skill errors that qtr and in one play refused to kick in his when he had pressure on his right side, instead turned full circle and turned it over.

That's what these games are for, so that young players can get a feel for it and learn from their mistakes.

Toiges beat Hawth 85 to 84

I haven't seen any "wrist slitters" yet, but have seen a few (like me) who are disappointed in the two key stats as far as MFC goes, tackles and possessions.

Care much more about those stats than the score today.

goal to jesse hogan

i50s are 38-32 our way which is something to take out of it. Clark and Dawes you'd think (hope) would've made a big difference today.

It's all from rebounding though isn't it? We're getting smashed in the clearances.

That's a fairly visceral reaction. I'd advise against watching any political news without a prescription for Odansetron or Metoclopramide.

again refer to who is missing and comntemplate their addition to the tackling

what I will give you though is certain players just dont want to ( or seemingly are unable ) to show this element in their game, especially on an ongoing consistent mind set.

how is Col going today lol

Getting a little tired of this sort of comment.

Ok, so we lost every game this year, and some by a handsome margin, but at least the tackle count was level.

Jesus christ, when will the pain end??

Perfect practice makes perfect? Cue excuses for Heat/fatigue/games played/players missing/etc etc

I cared about the score today. Glad I did.

Same "key tacklers" as last week, but we did ok in the tackles then...

We're winning a disposal count. Write down this date. :D

It's NAB Cup. Doesn't bother me if we win or not, tho wins are nice. Ask last years Grand Finalists about their NAB wins... What I want to see is improvements in our key lacking areas from last year, as that is what will lead us to wins when the real stuff starts.

Tooooouuuuumpas!

goal to toumpas! 66-84

66-84

Toumpas kicks truly. Dees back to within 18 points.
