Cant wait until we have 2 big marking forwards down there....

That’s the key. We just have to win ugly at the moment 

[Brownie 5,980]

We are heading for a convincing 3 point win.

Just have that feeling again

[Purple77 1,001]

Geez Jordon knows how to get to the right spots!

Very, very impressive debut.

[Ugottobekidding 1,186]

Jackson looks lost

[adonski 12,126]

Tomlinson killing it 

[Jaded No More 68,915]

Defensively we are playing very well. Backline superb. I know they are missing a lot of their forwards, but so are we. 
 

[dazzledavey36 54,923]

Still a pretty rusty game. Feel like we are just lethargic at times.

Should be harmes. Don't want them building 

[Diamond_Jim 12,585]

Gawn with 3 possessions and Jackson with two

[Mickey 4,684]

Lever and May are killing it. Great to see TMac playing well.

So much for Harmes huge preseason. He has been jogging anytime he has to chase.

Our mids are still getting sucked in and Freo are getting it on the outside

Yeah dunno what is up with harmes when he defends, very strange,  similar to gus

[Mickey 4,684]

Kicking skills haven't really improved. 

[Lord Nev 13,512]

We lead the hitouts by 12, we trail in clearances by 11.

It is extremely hot. 

[FireInTheBennelly 4,072]

TMac is a lock for the wing role when brown and Weids are back

Oliver needs to kick faster, over playing it and its putting pressure on others and himself.

Couldn't agree more.  Needs to get first option away quickly once he finds space.  Playing as if there's no opponent out there at the moment and lairising a bit too much

[dee-tox 4,835]

Lesser lights standing tall. Like the forward pressure from Spargo, ANB  etc. Key backs great again.

Should be six goals up though.

There are a few doing it. Rivers has overused the handball a few times.

[bing181 9,234]

Same old same old. Still too many players who just aren't reliable when the ball comes near them. Hunt, Harmes, Tomlinson etc. Jetta off the pace.

Clayton Oliver - surprised to see he'd had 18 possessions. Needs to do more damage.

And on today's performance, I'd be playing Daw (if fit?) over Jackson, who just looks a bit lost.

Real liked seeing Salem's skills in close and quick thinking

Probably take a few games for most to reach full match fitness with the longer quarters and run off a few excess gym kilos of muscle (for some).

Jackson undergoing concussion test.

Poor effort Jones 

Then stands there smiling about it.   ?

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Harmes should go to Fyfe & get Hunt forward. He is hopeless down back.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

May with 500 meters gained to half time!  Has to be a record in there somewhere surely
