[Wiseblood 24,637]

Hogan has me on the first half chub of 2018.  More of this please, Jesse.

Has Hoges spent any time in the guts?

A few centre bounces, but he's generally spent the bulk of his time forward.

[Demonland 71,264]

I think they've scored almost every time they've been forward. Luckily we've restricted those opportunities. 

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Super ruck work from Maxy and great finish from Harmes.

[Demonland 71,264]

I think Harmes could be a lock for Round 1. 

[3Dee 1,153]

Really enjoy seeing no.4 throw his body into the contest. 

[Demonland 71,264]

The Majak Defence Experiment might be over. 

[demoniac 1,330]

Lewis and Vince get a free pass from commentators vis a vis and re disposal errors. Lewis apparently going at 100% despite putting a pass on the bounce to a player inboard which led to a turnover.

I think team balance will be a challenge at selection this year particularly how many players who are natural inside mids get selected each week. Given the need for speed in the game there is a limit to the number of one paced inside mids we can park on the wing or half back. Same may apply to medium utilities. We may need to bring in more run and speed or risk being outrun and run over.

[Demonland 71,264]

Hannan just always seem to bob up in games.

Definition of a list clogger isn't Spencer.

Majak!!!!

our ball use has been super

[Demonland 71,264]

There can't be any doubt that Melksham deserves his spot. 

[Demon Jack 6,858]

Hannan and Melksham kick back to back goals!

Spot on, DA.  Our transition work today has been a highlight.

It's also good to see us putting our good work on the scoreboard.

Ride the Melky way.

Petracca has been average IMO He looks good up forward but struggles in the midfield. He just doesn't seem to read the play when running through the midfield. Unless he's lead to a stoppage he is always floating in no mans land watching it go back and forward over his head. I hope he plays more forward than midfield still going forward, as he's such a hard match up when forward and could be very dominant there.

He's a forward who rotates through the midfield, not vice versa for sure.

[Demon Jack 6,858]

Ryan Clarke is North's leading disposal winner for the quarter...with two.

[Demonland 71,264]

ANB knew exactly how to kick that goal with the wind. 

[3Dee 1,153]

Nibbler will be hard to omit.

[Diamond_Jim 12,526]

I see Stretch has had 11 disposals ... how has he been playing

thanks

Don't want to go the early crow just yet, but if Hibberd has a similar year to last year and Melky has the year he's been threatening to have over this pre-season, 2 2nd round draft picks to the druggies comes off as a massive win for us.

But again, not going the early crow.............just yet.

I like the cut of Fritsch's gib.
