[Moneider96 1,045]

I don't rate omac. Don't think he has it. 

[praha 11,240]

Could be a 10+ goal loss.

[Middymalt 244]

Did we play freo first up last year very similar

  All of those ready to throw the towel in - a little perspective please, it is only NAB.  We are competing well despite missing our strongest mids, away, against a team that played last week AND the game is far from over.....

 

Pfft .... Same sheet , different year.

You can tell that before half time of our first NAB cup game? Take a breath bra.

[Demon Disciple 12,132]

What annoys me is how we are able to steady the scoring rate for a period of time, then the wall just collapses and the opposition get very quick consecutive goals. It just kills our momentum.

We seem to find it very hard to score, whereas the opposition do it in a cakewalk.

[DeeZee 7,397]

Very unimpressed with Ben Kennedy and Frost.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Halftime:

what I like:

watts

robbie gray

olivers effort 

jeff garlett

Max Gawn's tap work

jetta 

 

what I don't like:

our disposal

our forward line structure and entries

brayshaw's knee

our recruits (bugg, Kennedy?) too eary to call obviously 

our composure

tyson's "composure"

Been watching us for a long time bra and I can tell.
There might be a little improvement but its tiny.

Kent just dropped the mark and u heard him say f a r k through the tv. Priceless!

good to c he was annoyed with himself. 

[Mad_Melbourne 877]

Not actually that bad, defensively we have been pretty poor, but expect come game day next year we would clog the ground up a lot more. Posters want a more open and attacking game style and the result of this will be more goals against when it doesn't work. 

Looks like we are often standing in front of our opponents and therefore we are losing ground to opponents and they are getting out behind us. 

Gawn looks to be dominating the ruck

watts has looked good

oliver very promising 

both McDonald's look lost

dont think Hunt has had any of the footy but competing well in one v ones

Pederson < Dawes in providing an option up the field for team mates

 

[DeeZee 7,397]

Overall panicky and slow

Frost is coming from a long way back though DeeZee.

Yes but I don't want excuses this year I want a 22 I can rely on.

[ILLDieADemon 804]

Viney is going to have a stellar year!!

Oliver is very impressive too!

ok, we dry up the oppositions momentum

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I've seen enough of Grimes, Garland and Matt Jones.

Kennedy and Bugg very underwhelming so far.

[olisik 4,060]

Does anyone know much about Brayshaws injury? Any chance he did an ACL?

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,396]

A lot of complaining from people that were saying this time last week these matches mean nothing.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Very impressed with Oliver, Viney and Gawn thus far.

Agree.  Never seen Frost do anything really and Kennedy looks VFL standard.

But Max, Clarrie, Hoges and some others going alright.  Early days.  Hope AB injury is not season ending cos we will really need him.

[TheoX 1,222]

Kennedy has a panic attack every time he goes near the ball, keep him at Casey please.

Oliver looks great.

[Dommygun12 79]

Few people need to chill out its pre season.

IF we still see this after a few rounds of the season then panic

Viney with 16 disposals at the half my word gonna have a cracker of a year
