We were pretty much level at three quarter time with the reigning Premiers. We still had a chance 15 minutes from full time...but your summary only includes 9 positive contributions. I rest my case.

I knew someone would say this. No difference with conditions for Dawes. Ask any magpie fan who used to watch. Same issue there.

I'll give him the benefit of playing at least a couple of games in dry conditions.

Rockcliff scored 204 from 48 disposals. 89 is probably above average but not that great

Except that marking has never been his strong suit even in the the dry

He did make an effort and played ok for his first game back

Garlett: out if wet.

Harmes: don't come Monday

Hogan: Learn to tackle. Or. Devoid of (defensive) effort

Tmac: Terrible below knees.

Vince: cracking game. But also, Does stupid hits

Oliver: Cleanest hands ever

Jones: cheap handball receives. (Needs to bloody stop this again, he was much better when he stopped asking for these cheapies)

Petracca: believe in yourself

Gawn: what has happened?

Your Dawes description describes his whole career

Kent doesn't lack confidence, he lacks effort. He can [censored] off

there was nothing unmemorable about Trenners, just to run into the field was special. His performance was promising

One thing I will say after watching the replay. I reckon there was a lot of sore Hawks players after the game. We may not have won. But we belted them (fairly) almost every time we could.  

We were very tough, hard and aggressive against the masters of that sort of footy.  They were hurting at the end of the game.

Oliver and brayshaw wish they had CP skills and speed but they are much better footballers. 

CP Needs to make better decisions and execute under pressure.

Um, he's played 5 games or something. Honestly, this is absurd.

Yep, and still lost.

Trengove was inspirational on the mcc members wing side, city end. 2 against one. Ran through one and mowed down the other to get it out of bounds.

We are better with him in the side.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
