I still maintain that Bernie should be a forward. 

Jesse. 

Good to see Hoges get on the board.  I feel like he's been around the mark this quarter without getting his hands on it much.  

What I like is our set up across half forward from a kick out and our pressure around the ball.  It's been very good so far.

Truck torp frittata snags one

Fritsch on the board! How good was that from Petracca?

That was an important goal.

I really rate this Fritsch kid. He'll play 22 (or more) games if his body can hold up.

I think Fritsch will play Round 1. 

Huddo just compared Fritsch to Brad Green. Pretty good call I reckon!

That Gawn smash forward from a ruck contest. It's basically a kick and reset, so I like it every now and then.

The 'out the back' goals are still killing us. 

EDIT: Great finish from Bugg. Great response!

We gave up a very soft goal and responded straight away, which I think is a good sign.  Great play from Milkshake to set it up too!

Bugg putting his hand up for Round 1. 

3 North goals, 3 easy overlap transitions. It might be an inherent risk in our gamestyle but it's bloody embarrassing.

That's the only way they can score at the moment. As long as we keep attacking and putting more goals on the board then we can concede a couple of those. 

how is the weather affecting the game?

 

I can't stand Huddo. He should be no where near a commentary box. Useless little pr*ck.

Yep, but I don't mind it here.  It gives the coaching team a chance to look at problems with us pushing high - when they score, is it because of turnovers, poor position or that we are pushing up too high?  I'd rather them find out now than in July when it's too late.

rubbish green was twice his size when he started

ANB has easily been our most improved player over the last 18 months.  He's quickly making himself an indispensable member of our side.

Pretty sure Huddo just meant he looked like Green. As in his face. Not comparing him as a player,

He’s been nothing short of excellent. One of the best players out there so far.

Jonesy coughing it up a fair bit. 

The breeze is tough. 

Good to see us using Trac deep forward when he isn't in the middle.  He'll murder opponents all year down there.
