It is bloody early in the year, but you can already see the battle is on between the Skipper and Dom for the Bluey...

Going touch for touch at the moment...

I like it a lot...

Done and dusted I rekon it clipped the post

It did but it ain't gunna matter.

A shame that we have wasted so many opportunities in front of goal.

Would also be nice to get the hand in the back rule payed in our favour just once.

[What 18,810]

Decent effort.

Would have won if the usual suspects like Jamar, Bail and Grimes ever learned how to kick better than a 3 year old girl.

who ever thought bail has improved must have rocks in there head this bloke is just an average player like Matt Jones and Grimes, ive been real critical of those 3

Yes but it was blatantly obvious - Goal umpires don't have to do much...

[Emerald 1,744]

Jamar lost it for us.The goal umpire's just rubbing it in.

[Pipefitter 2,168]

We had 4 shots inside 50 in a row and didn't even register a score. Should really have won this game.

[whatwhat say what 22,948]

players are going to feel it, big time.

very hot out there.

man, frost, hogan, and vandenburg all pretty impressive.

[Die Hard Demon 1,224]

God grimes frustrated the hell out of me !!!

[Dommygun12 79]

Overall im happy with that def 3 4 players to go out out of that group vberg frost newton in my round 1

[Nasher 33,617]

Not suicidal, which is a great relief. Plenty to be happy about I thought. Our imports plus incremental natural improvement from young players such as Salem really added something.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Solid hitout, apart from some of our forward entries I thought we were pretty good.

Lumumba, Newton and Vandenberg looked good, Garlett can only get better, Hogan showed a bit and we came through unscathed. Not much there to complain about really, outside of the usual suspects but we've complained about them for the last 2 years.

[Brayshaw Self 847]

Toumpas worked his way in to it well after a disappointing start

[John Crow Batty 8,879]

Good hit out in trying conditions in Freo's backyard.

[Demon_spurs 1,872]

Yeah I'll take that, showed something, hot day and wasn't disgraced by any means

[The Backyard Charizard 1,202]

I'm gonna jump in before the haters begin and say that I am pretty happy with that first hit out!

Tough conditions....

Hogan, Jones, Laboomba, Newton, Frost, Vandenburg, Tyson... all impressive....

We know who didn't have a great match, but let's not dwell on the negatives people...

It's just F'ing great that FOOTY IS BACK!!! :lol:

[Jaded No More 68,974]

No injuries = win

[rjay 25,093]

Great 3rd Quarter:

Hogan on the lead looked fantastic! Shame a couple deliveries were a bit ordinary.

Vandenberg looked promising, particularly with a few strong marks and good I50 work.

Salem keeps impressing me, he has a very nice balance between that hard at it inside game yet well composed and "classy" deliveries out of defence.

HL off the back line did a few nice things.

McDonald has impressed me so far.

The usual N. Jones and Tyson have impressed me.

The usual, who won't be named continue to disappoint me.

Yep, Watts hasn't had a touch tonight...

[sue 9,145]

Gotta enjoy demonland. After Q2 the razor blades were out and we were bound for the bottom again. Then it turned out Freo were just as bad in Q3.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

3 goal defeat and no major injuries? I think we take that. Two whole quarters without a goal is disappointing though.

All of our recruits: Frost, Newton (1st half), Garlett (2nd half) and Lumumba looked good. vandernBerg looks like he could be a player.

Some encouraging signs from Salem and to a lesser extent Toumpas after half time.

Simply, we will continue to lose games this year if Matt Jones, Bail, McKenzie, Grimes and Garland continue to make the same schoolboy errors they always make. Georgiou in early 2014 was more reliable than what we've seen from Garland since then.

[DemonOX 8,801]

Not really sure what to make of this game tbh.

The second quarter was appalling and if that's what happens every game we are cactus.

The other three quarters weren't too bad but our kicking for goal will lose us games come the real season.

Disappointed but can c some improvement.

Next game will be interesting.

Grimes, Bail and MJones out for me.

[hardtack 10,627]

No injuries and just three goals in it... I'm happy
