Playing well. Hawthorn have jumped most teams early. They were always going to come hard early

I really like the look of Brown and Weid playing up the ground. Means oppo defenders can’t double team our forwards, everyone becomes a target.

Boo behind at 1/4 time

I'll take it

That is a strange feeling…!

Oliver with 13 d already.

Crowd looks disappointing. 

McDonald has started well. A shame he couldn't finish off there. 

 

Smith looks very shaky. May robbed two marks that quarter yet Breust gets his paid. 

We looked a rabble for the first half of that quarter. Starting to settle it down a bit I think. Our connective players being out Anb, kozzie etc are noticeable

1st time since Bowey took the field and started playing for us.....

Recovered well but we need to stop the 2 players who constantly destroy us, Bruest and Gunston. 
They will haunt me in my grave. 

They like to go to Newcombe a fair bit across HB who then looks to squeeze a tough 45 to open up the middle.

Got a nice foot on him so i guess theyre trying to use that.  I would get someone to man up on him and not allow him any room once he drifts back and make sure the mark is taken inside to try and take away the 45 kick

Despite a slow start Clarrie has 13 disposals at the break

The old "made him earn it" head whack on Max Gawn has to stop.

Agreed - huge difference between a real solid legal side-on hit during a marking contest, and the constant barrage of lazy elbows, knees and fists that Max cops week-in, week-out.

the old farts in the commentary box need to step up here, they’re the ones celebrating it

Gunston's field kicking in particular screws us

We started to tidy up our inside 50’s….continue that and we’ll sort out the dorks 

 

who did Milkshake come in for.....he wasnt even named in the team?

I “hate” Putin, that is hate, not rating footballers is not “hate”. Anyone who says they hate footballers is not thinking properly.

Yet, they say it. A lot.

Its not to bad. If you look on the AFL members wing then yeah but on the other side it's pretty good, of course the MCC has a good turnout.bthere are 13 people that were in the top deck of the ponsford but they must have got moved

Slow start but worked our way into it. Bedfords been good. Fritsch clean and composed. Viney getting his hands on it and trac starting to be an influence. 

Quality recovery despite playing shizenhousen by our standards.

Fritta involved in basically every goal we've scored since half time last week. The bloke knows how to put sausage rolls on the scoreboard, whether directly or through goal assists.

Not too bummed out.

Our movement and lead selection was ten fold better than last week (though the sample size is small).

Need too clog the mid up and win more in the way that’s gotten us to where we are: patient ball movement, frontal pressure and eyes down when going forward.

Is BB ok....not starting this quarter

We weathered the Hawthorn 1st quarter blitz. We should slowly put our stamp on this game. They are taking a lot of risk going through the corridor and will turnover  a bit more as the game wears on. This is the game we want. 

Bedford needs to put a bit more forward pressure but has had a reasonably good start. Make Kozzy earn his spot back.

Still a few passengers. Harmes, Dunstan Rivers and Spargs need to lift. Not comfortable in weed playing LJs role.
