No you're not alone, they're obviously watching a different match. Hard to ask for much more under the (weather) conditions against a top side at home. Effort and intent is there, +12 on contested possessions.

Liking the pressure and cont possession wins. Like Frost running hard at the ball. Jeffy is a little beauty. Matt Jones tackling well. 

Desperately need to keep up the intensity.

The Dawes kick was fine, the issue was there wasn't anyone forward of the ball to mark it.

The alternative to him kicking the ball was  him handpassing it to a teammate under pressure, which as we know does not work.

We are. The Eagles are soft and we're pummeling them. The problem is that they're a transitioning team and we hand the ball back to them. 

Roos' coaching now comes into play. We need a defensive structure that keeps the ball forward of center for us. Beat them at their own game.

Three or four handballs in a circle to kick it forward when a single kick would have the same result is undermining our workrate to maintain the ball forward of centre, which we're doing.

Still think WC will go on a 5-6 goal run and then shut it down. I can't see it going any other way atm. We are just unable to match fast transitioning teams.

Yeah. Makes the Adelaide crowds seem warm and fuzzy.

We've kicked it more than handballed it and we're smashing them in contested possessions.

You blokes actually watching this?

all playing well ,but dawes really why both

Boys are having a serious dip. Tommy finding his way into the game late, our midfield is beating them to every contest and Hogan looks like he has his man if we can get the footy to him. Positive signs.

i think we're doing some things well - attack on the ball, and the ball-carrier - and other things poorly - disposal, kicking to the 'right' spots, being the favourites of the maggots, etc.

Might be my favourite aspect so far. Locals are getting very restless :)

Someone needs to man up on Priddis. 9 touches and 8 tackles after quarter time.

I agree with those who say we haven't gotten maximum reward for our effort - it would be terrific to be a few goals up.

Big term coming up, must back it up.

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    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.
