Feels so good to have full length quarters again.

    We still bomb,bomb,bomb into the forwardline indiscriminately!

    Baker amongst it. Looked comfortable.

    Amen.

    Jetta any issues on his hit on Tom Lynch? Lynch sooked it up big time. And Jetta played well that quarter.


    Promising signs from TMac. Lever's disposal hopefully rusty. 

    Forward pressure not good enough to stop their run out of defence. 

    Although we lead they looked more threatening when they went forward.

    Spargo promising.

    Lynch is an expert, bit of a worry.

    Reprimand I would think due to low impact and being in a contest (so not intentional). Lynch deserved it

    It is hard not to dislike Lynch.

    So I won't bother trying not to.

    He [censored] me to tears.

    Any idea why Riewoldt’s taken 2 marks on Jetta?

    T Macs taken 3 contested marks.

    Jones still knows how to kick a snag for our first.

    Death, Taxes, Gravity, Jetta always on a much bigger opponent (leads to him being crunched and carrying injuries for the majoirty of the season).

    Great to see TMac more mobile and his great hands.

    still not great with our forward entries but good effort around the the field. Baker and James Jordan showing a bit.

    Go Dees

    Good quarter. Lever, Baker and Petracca playing well. Good to see Oliver playing

    Surely any contact on that grub must be deemed as low

    Hit on Tom Lynch? Are you talking about where Jetta brought him to ground late in the qtr? That was barely a free, Lynch sooked it up at the umps as usual. Nothing in it. Lynch is a weapons-grade *log

    Can't see any significant signs of change regarding all ball use going forward.

    Our pressure has been fantastic which is nothing new aside from our lapses during some games.

    But all I want to see in these pre-season games is some genuine change in the way we move the ball.

    Early thoughts:

    1) It looks like Goody has finally figured out there is no need to rush in new players just because they look good at training - Jones and Jetta get games, while our third year men - Jordan, Sparrow, Chandler and Baker all get game time ahead of younger rivals.

    2) Lever strong in air, Spargo vision, Trac brilliance, Baker and Langdon tackling.

    3) It seems when Tiger bigs get free kick or mark in middle of ground we will sag off and ignore manning mark - thereby forcing their bigs to make right attacking decision.

    just one quarter though

    There were at least 2 instances in that quarter where we didn't man the mark. The first was just outside 50 and resulted in a shot on goal. Bit of a concern

    Why is Jetta always against someone a foot taller?

    Probably because we have a $700K a season CHB who won't play on a man.


    The siren at Casey Fields sounds like Gus the steam shovel from Mr Squiggle.

    Spargo might not be able to roost it 60m, but his kicks are flat and get where they are going nice and quick.

     

    The classic 4 up in the marking contest. It’ll work this year you’ll see.

    gawn's kick from d50 straight into the 'hot spot' at the top of the 50 was laughably bad

    tigers still look a mile better but at least are only a couple of points up

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
