GAME DAY: JLT #1 vs North Melbourne

[Salems Lot 2,687]

Disappointed to be having to watch the game on my phone; at least the AFLW can be viewed on laptop.  It is only a practice game for Pete's sake

Thanks Fox Footy. I just got over Round 23.

Can't wait to see Fritsch match up against the big boys and see how he goes

Fantastic opening to the telecast!

 

[DemonLad5 1,642]

Was looking forward to seeing Balic. Says a lot about where he is in the pecking order 

[Demonland 73,495]

Umps already killing us. 

[Redjacket 756]

We haven't improved our handballing. 

[Chook 15,023]

Loved that pack mark from Gawny. Even more than his ruck work, that's what we missed the most from him last year I reckon.

[Demon Jack 7,141]

Neal-Bullen opens up our account for 2018!

[Demonland 73,495]

Anyone who thinks Nibbler isn't in our best 22 is crazy. 

[Dee Zephyr 19,269]

Nibbler  is a gun!!!

ANB is just continuing his ridiculous upward trend from last year. He went from a depth nobody to a first-picked player in about 12 weeks. Contributed to both our goals so far today too.

Absolutely loving this start.  Pressure is great, hitting targets and converting.

Yep. It's only early but we look a class above North right now.

[Demon Jack 7,141]

Good start by Lewis.

[Demonland 73,495]

Maxy is killing it.

Shite kick there though.

[Demonland 73,495]

That is why we pursued Lever. 

[Chook 15,023]

Haha Trac's a beast to be able to push off Majak Daw. That bloke is enormous.

Could have been 50 as the North bloke was over the mark, but yes, not a great kick.  I'll put that down to it being in Feb.

Trac just took a super mark one on one from some great transition... and missed.  Not like him to miss that!

[Lord Travis 10,793]

We're looking dominant. Similar to last year though, we're dominating ball, dominating play, ball isn't leaving our forward half... but we're not capitalising on the scoreboard. Should be 6 goals up by now. 

Lever looking great. Also Lewis and Nibbler looking good.
