Great half in terms of responding to a challenge. Lever down, Melksham and T. Smith are both carrying knocks. We really need to blow the doggies away in the 3rd. If we give them a sniff for the final qtr they might outlast us.

That's my worry. Need to blow them away. We'll run out of legs. AFL should not be giving us a 6 day break after NT.

We're not playing well, but let's be realistic - we aren't going to play well every single week.  Some games will be a struggle.  It's how we respond that matters.

After them kicking the first 3, having lots of cheap frees and winning the clearances, we showed the maturity to steady and kick 7 of the next 8.  Our older heads stood up, while Macca and Hogan stood up in the forward line.  We are cleaner, smarter and better, but allowing the Dogs to drag us down to their level.

I'm still confident for the second half but it won't be a 10 goal win.

Midfield need to work harder on the clearances. That’s what’s keeping the dogs in the game.

Gotta start getting on top in clearances. Do that and we will easy and take pressure off the backline without Lever. 

Jetta is unbelievable. A beast!

Lever update please have a heart attack here

[censored] I suppose better than the ACL! 

Fingers crossed not too serious. 

This is going to be a struggle. Dogs love to play boring low scoring rubbish. They have held us very well. With one down and 2 not fully fit, this will be a big ask. Especially off a short break. 

51 point win coming up

RN, that is sensational news in the scheme of things, particularly if you're paranoid (like me) when it comes to these things.

Same knee that Lever had the reco on a few years ago.

I dont think its gonna be good news. I hope Im wrong.

The only positive thing is that we have an 8 day break coming up and then the bye.  Hopefully Lever may just miss a week and return after the bye.

Umps have been pathetic. Almost like the AFL told them to make sure it’s a contest and not another trashing. 

Tbh I've not really noticed the other two just the toerag Ray.

How many frees does Ray Chmberlin pay when he is not central umpire?! Ridiculous [censored] amounts.

Smith poleaxed in the back off the ball, no free.

Jetta what a guy, steady the ship Neville.

We look a little warn and sore but we should get up.

You never now when Lucifer's big ass boot is gonna get lodged between our sticks RTG.  All we can do each day is hope to avoid the [censored] and if we can't, at least make sure it doesn't turn into a goal

I hope the club come out soon to confirm the Lever injury. My anxiety levels have risen...

Not sure they can say anything until he has had scans.

We can hope, but not unheard of to be walking after an acl.

Fingers and toes.

Razor is an absolute tool.

Just hope we have enough petrol in the tanks to finish the second half well.

    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.

    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.
