I can't believe I'm saying this and I know it's early in the JLT praccy matches, but the lack of contests are making the game a bit tame.It seems it's end to end footy with no real oomph. Have I gone too early on this??

It is a bit early 'spurs' and of course it's only practice match footy but yeah, it is really boring stuff to watch.

There has been zero pressure in these games so I guess we have to wait for the season proper.

So far it's about as interesting as last years AFLX footy.

...and just maybe it comes back to that old saying "be careful what you ask for".

Someone had to say it, but at the moment the emperor has no clothes.

I heard the commentator saying that Dixon won't be available in round 1. Nice.

Ryder rolled his ankle too, not sure how serious

Has the annual "dancing with your sister" cliche procession begun yet?

If not consider this the first offering.

Is that dancing with your sister, or a sister?

For those playing along at home.

For so long, Sydney and Geelong have been consistent finalists but with one round to go in the JLT it looks like their run is over.

Was glad to see Hawthorn fairly comprehensively out scored by Brisbane yesterday.

Freo play the Pies tonight.

Will be interesting to see how being back home affects Jesse's approach and his game. 

Any loss for the Pies is a good loss, pre-season or otherwise.  Wouldn't mind if Jessie has a day out!

I was actually going to add 2 dummy spits.  To be fair though, he did improve his output by half time so he now has 2 marks, 2 kicks and 3 handballs.

Hogan looks completely disinterested.

Nice to see his new coach sorted out his attitude problem. Early days, but he looks to have the same interest in second efforts now, as he did the entire time he played with us.

Not the work ethic of a champion player.

Are there any toys left in Hogan’s cot or have they all been thrown out before the final siren. 

[dl4e 5,851]

Hogan is past history. Stuff him. I hate to say it but the filth will be hard to knock off this year. 

[The Third Eye 259]

Just been watching the last 20 minutes  - is Hogan on the ground?

We've already knocked them off in the scratch match. Scratch matches don't lie.

Jesse's been on the bench for the past 10+ minutes.
