Salem isn't finding the ball as easily as in the intra club matches.

Gawn really struggled that quarter, and with the kicks he had they we shockers. Doesn't seem to be the sort of game to suit Toumpas. Tmac getting involved, but his disposal is average.

So what sort of game would suit Toumpas then?

Intra club games and training in general are a useless guide to the real stuff

Chess

If we could actually mark the pill occassionly that might help.

First quarter was good.

Second quarter was the good old days which are obviously not past us.

This will do wonders for membership too.

Darts.

LMAO

I dunno, CB, that tournament at Etihad this year got pretty rough.

Man I remember when Mark neeld's Melbourne beat Collingwood in a pre season game. We went on to have such success after that.

I'm not sure what has to happen for toumpas to click into gear ... he just seems bereft of self confidence.

We had these really disturbing "disappearance" quarters last year too. Almost always the second quarter.

Then we'd play catch-up in the second half and come within striking distance by the end of the fourth. Sad to see the improved fitness has apparently not changed this little tradition of ours.

Spot on. Can't read much into these games.

It also shows we put far too much stock in training and the intra clubs. Nothing like playing a real side. A bloke who is an average kick will still be one when the real stuff starts.

I don't really know but it's not very free flowing, quite scrappy and more of an inside midfielders game Tyson, Jones and Newton loving the contest. Toumpas looks lost and out of position, yes it's only a nab cup game but it's a lot of what we saw last year.

Vandenberg on

Hoges with the fly. Kent with the silk. Good stuff.

Hogan splits the pack for a Kent goal

Nice

Salem forward, Frost back.

Gotta slow it down. Small ground, Dockers will smash them on the transition. Slow it down.

Ef me nice pass from h to hogan great start

It begins...

It's not gunna get much softer than NAB on a hot day, if this doesn't suit him no AFL game will.

Much better

HOGANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

There are positives,winning the centre clearances and inside fifties.

Hope Kent has a big year. Quite possibly the most exciting player on our list. That goal against the bombers last year still gives me goosebumps.

WHAT!!

Boys are doing great, a bit tired just need to gel in FWD line

Hoges just goaled, you beauty!
