Bugg- only kicks points!

He is not the least bit dangerous around goal. Honestly his shot conversion has to be the worst on the list.

Not bad joeboy, but I disagree on Vince.  Zorko may have got off the leash a little in the second half but he completely shut him out of the game in the first half.  He generally limited his influence and did a good job.

I thought Martin evened things up with Gawn, Lewis was a liability, but otherwise agree.

Hunt is worrying not sure what his problem is. Hasn’t gone on with it this season. 

If we didn’t have Oliver in the guts I wonder if we would win a game. And that is a worry. We need Viney back as soon as.

What is all that s love for Jones?  He was hopeless 90% of the time.  Handballs like a headless chook, rushes and kicks to really poor options.  He did 2 good things, and about 20 bad.

jetta - spot on.  He was thrashed by all comers, gave cheapie frees, outpositioned and lost his man too easily.

a few of these guys should be looking over their shoulders after that performance.

looking like a slightly above average middle table team ATM

We have a few good players who are out of form. Off the top of my head Lever, Hunt, Jetta and Salem, have all looked a bit off in the first 2 games.

We definitely paid overs for lever.

He will be good for us. We are not using him as the Crows did. He is picking up a key forward which stops him sweeping. Needs Frost and Oscar to take key forwards and then he can sweep and float off his nan a bit. 

His passing from the back will set up play for us.

Classic Demonland.  If someone isn't dominating inside the first 2 games of arriving at the club then he's no good, we paid overs and our FD are a joke.

Would like to add Goodwin to these wonderful assessments:

After two rounds mine is:

"Wasting the list"

It is obvious we have a decent list but we are simply not realising the potential of so many players.

Salem is a good example and Petracca could be so much better just to name two.

Brayshaw : Missed the plane.

Yeh, Wagner could be a "stopper"as lond as when he gets it somebody responsible is in the area . Buit  a real trier

I'm with Buck Nekkid re Jones.

Check him on the replay : he coughs it up quite a bit, is messy by hand and 50/50 by foot. Nice to see him snag a couple of goals last night - he doesn't kick all that many.

Which takes me on to Kent. I wouldn't be considering him. Oppo teams don't fear him because he tackles like Jack Watts and doesn't hurt them on the scoreboard. Seriously. He just does not kick goals; all he has is leg speed. I think of  Sam Blease as a comparison - lightning fast but not an asset.

    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
