I think we need to give him a little time though.  It's been a while since he's played so he needs to match time to get back into the groove so to speak.

But he's been well off the pace today.

Frost with 1 handball, 1 tackle and 0 hit outs.

I'll be shocked if he's named round 1.

 

You'd think he'd be a Brownlow chance according to how some people talk him up.  Still needs plenty of development.

Kent and Tyson seem quiet, have they been on limited game time or something?

Such as?

I'll bite, Kent needs to involve himself more, Tommy Mc has had a bit of an error prone performance, even though it is Bernie Vince's first game, with his experience would expect a bit more

Thanks, I think you heard it from me first and to quote the popular phrase today, was 'howled down'

T Mc & Garland have butchered it more. I don't really want to name kids, but Kennedy, Hunt & Harmes will wanna improve ball use too.

Clayton Oliver looks very good. Will wait and see how he goes in the real stuff but he has the Ollie Wines body and POISE when he gets it.

We'll probably never see it again but that Garlett goal was as skilful as you'll ever see!

I'd like to VDB spend a little more time in the middle, rough those doggies up a bit. Loving Watts and Jeffy. If Jack keeps finding space and slotting them like this, he will find the boys looking for him a lot.

agreed on Viney, his disposal needs to be more damaging. Too many up and under hand balls, Hope he apologised to the captain. That said, he is looking phenomenal ain the coal face. 

Salem and McDonald, I hope, will sharpen those skills as the season continues. 

Thats my half time rant!

Frost can't play. Waste of a pick, he isn't a footballer. If we want athletes our recruiting team should just go to deremut gym.

I would've liked Kieran Collins instead of melksham just quietly. 

If we held on to the Melksham pick we gave up, we still wouldn't have got him, as academy selections pushed our pick #25 down to pick #30. Collins still would've gone 4 picks before our pick, either way he wouldn't have been available to us.

That's a fair point.

Based on his actual impact so far, he's looking more like a homeopathic footballer.

Has the commentary mentioned the rotations? Are we and/or the WB trying to stick to the cap this week??

Sorry, all those draft permutations confused me. I like the look of him. Oh well.

No it's not, he is not 18, I said early on, the injury last year cruelled his development, expected him to just crash and bash today, he isn't, don't think the experiment is working

They mentioned the Dogs were, didn't saying anything about Melbourne.

Would like to get an idea of what the rotation numbers have been today.

[thevil1 421]

Oliver not just an in & under!!

It's not a fair point that we need to give Frost a little bit of time because he's missed a bucket load of footy?  It's not fair to give him time to find his feet again and get going?

Righto.

[bing181 9,328]

Jones, Vince, Tyson quietish. So far.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Can someone kneecap Lin Jong please?  The dud's got it on a string.

He was being touted on here as a lock for Rd 1, as he has now not performed so far in 1 and 1/2 games, there is a lot of arse covering going on....so no sorry won't play

[praha 11,240]

Jones gives away a free kick with a good tackle and gives away a free. He then gets buried around the head a minute later and nothing.

Agreed, I like the kid. He has a red hot crack.
