    I'm not sure size is the mitigating factor here.

    I hate to say it, but Toby Greene is a superstar.

    There's no match up for him when the ball hits the ground.

    Yep. He's too strong & too good overhead for small defenders, a just quick enough for tall defenders not to be able to take him, a genuine game breaking player.

    Harsh on a couple here.

    Brayshaw was our only winning mid early. Fritsch kicked 3 up against an AA defender

    Oliver: An immature performance.

    Pickett: Proving me wrong.

    Mcdonald: Lost at sea.

    Spargo: Good despite miss.

    Rivers: lacks defensive iq 
    * a bit harsh but a lot of his mistakes are costly.

    We are in a good place and everyone chipped in when it was their turn, GWS got away with a lot of holding and crude tackles which caused them more pain than us.!!!

    why rest forward. He can't kick straight for goal.

    Gus mitigated a lot of the spread and pace GWS generated early. Could have gotten ugly if not for him, Langdon, Salem and Hunt early. They zoned well and stopped what was at the start a very quick moving Giants.

    Interesting Joeboy.  I think your a bit harsh on some, we did win easily from quarter time. But  always good to see another’s views.

    we were not perfect but I thought our back 6 worked it out really well. They will only get better with more games together. Tomlinson is far more composed than Omac or Frost ever was. Is frosty still playing for the hawks or is he injured ?

    Brayshaw's best game this season by far.

    I agree here and im a big fan, but he has to clean up some off his kicking 

  • Quote

    Rivers had 16 disposals at 100% efficiency, 2 contested marks and 3 score involvements playing at half back and last week he had 20 disposals at 90% efficiency, 4 score involvements and another contested mark. Not sure his IQ is much of a problem at this stage, he seems to make really good decisions with the ball in hand.

    " some of" ." Most of" more likely

    If if wasn't for Hunt stinking up his run with his kicking we'd setting loose the hounds onto Brayshaw. 

    Only Cam Bruce could  kick more up and unders   but he' d perfected the helicopter

    Dr D, I reckon the ability to go forward and kick goals is the next part for Oliver to develop in his game, especially as he will continue to cop close attention from the opposition. It's probably the one thing that will take home from being an elite player to a superstar.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
