Beautiful night. The smoke from the BBQ where they do the bacon and egg rolls (and now hamburgers as well - very filling) was just hanging above the ground for at least the whole first qtr.

Several players have made good contributions but none has dominated for the whole time they've been on. Maybe Trac has been the most in the play so far. Others who have done very well are ANB and Gus, and probably O Mac. Those with reasonable cameos include Pedo, Mitch White, Hunt, Viv. Saw very little from JKH before his injury. Garland hasn't done anything special.

I guess ill be the one to ask, anyone think Trascca could debut vs the Pies next week?  Or if not next week vs the Tigers the week after?

Is Trac playing midfield or high half forward?

Yeah forgot to mention Weeds. Been alright. Getting around and is good at chasing up when they try to run out of defence. Has had a few attempts at pack marks but he's not quite big and strong enough yet to dominate those and has had a few bounce off his hands when jostled. He has time to grow and will be much better for a bit more beef to help him stand his ground. Showing pretty good endeavour though.

I'd highly doubt this week and be very doubtful for the Tigers game. At most 50/50 for the saints game imo

Lots of love from the boys for Trac when he kicked a goal from 45. Big embrace from Gus in particular.

Plenty of lip, super confident, smarts around goal - that much reminds me of Jason Akermanis.

I would like him against the pies.

He could then rag doll 3 pies, to make up for the 3 hat rag dolled Watts.

But I think the Anzac Eve game looks likely.

I wouldn't put him in yet. Think they are still managing his time on the field so he would not be able to contribute a full game.

But then we've seen the selections this year already so I've got no idea what they'll do.

Brayshaw in space on the wing fluffs the kick, barely off the ground over 5 metres. Turnover, goal Frankston.

Speaking of the dolphins they arent great, casey will need to ensure they run this game out with no bench.

Loss of mitch king not a huge impact as the frankston ruckman is a total goose. Not even sure he knows where he is at the mo. 

Weideman wont debut next week. Shows good signs but when the balls on the deck up the ground he seems to make poor decisions and has a few turnovers as a result.

For those wondering petracca is predominantly at half forward, few stints through the middle. Hes exciting but not dominant. His brother looks exactly like him, assuming he is who i saw. 

Brayshaw the dominant player on the ground and anb is working into it the longer it goes as expected with his endurance.

Michie does not have enough tricks and wont make it.

From the twitter seems like they are snapping points at well. Any chance they want to put it through the hands a bit and take better shots??!

Garland's a mouse,  how is he part of the leadership group lol. 

Unleash the truck!!!

Weeds - nice mark on the wide flank and wobbler of a set shot that went through for a goal.

The radio callers are getting every 3rd or 4th name wrong on the far side of the ground. Don't believe all you hear.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
