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).

It is extremely hot. 

Yes agree guys, it'll definitely take a few games off shorten pre season.

THESE GUYS ARE ANGRY

[Redleg 42,042]

Still flooding the contest and no one out. Dockers killing us in clearances because of it even though we are winning tap outs.

Dear AA selectors,

That guy who is owning the game in the back half with 500 metres gained? Number 1?

His name is Steven May.

That name again.

Steven May.

Cheers. Enjoy the game.

Backline?? ?Lever. ?May 

Mids. Trac ⭐️

Jordan on debut ??

Harmes. ?

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

Think Harmes maybe one of the mirror guys

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

Is he keeping Fyfe a little quiet though?  We don't need to see much from Hunt as long as he achieves that.

Harmes looks much happier and more at home back up forward again.  I would not mess with the 'present' winning set up.  Unless Fyfe manages to get off the hook

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Petracca needs to lift for the 3rd qtr. Way too quiet in that second qtr.

Even with a new midfield coach.

Not sure these mids are ever going to get it, not in their DNA.

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.

 

They said Jackson went into the rooms early in second QTR I think.

Not sure if he's got a niggle.

Yep, we just still have passengers though.

We have found one in Jordan. Close to BOG

[dee-tox 4,835]

The effectiveness of Gawn, Oliver and Brayshaw is a big worry. 

 

[Wells 11 5,476]

happy to be in front but apart from may and lever really uninspiring sloppy stuff. i didn’t think it was possible but, even from the low base we started from,  we’ve gone backwards in our clearance work. hopefully an improvement in the 2nd half.

Unimpressive, but up

Need to start handling ball better

Petracca is off a bit also

Why do we continue to handball to players under pressure? Drives me mad.  Have we learnt nothing?

[darkhorse72 1,938]

Some goal kicking practice this week!

Agreed, although tbh I’ll take a Round 1 win any way it comes.

Love the way Pickett turns no-chance contests into some chance

[chook fowler 19,734]

We’ve become lazy 

[DemonOX 8,837]

Rivers disposal is deplorable today. Nothing is sticking.
