If Brown and Trac find something we win this well. 
Lobb is such a gun. What a shocking game for May to get injured. Especially with Buddy next week too. 

Buddy could have to answer to the MRO.

With no May down there, Lobb the worry.

Just going to have to stop the ball getting down there. Gawn or Jackson may have to help out down there

Hope so but at least we have Tomlinson ready to go. He'll be ok 

[Diamond_Jim 12,628]

Much better quarter but once again inaccurate kicking.

Ideally we need goals and behinds at a ratio of 2:1 not 1:1 or worse

Strong third quarter and ease through the fourth

[dees189227 12,400]

4-6 we kicked that quarter. Wasted some opportunities

[Demon Disciple 12,274]

Our tall forwards are indeed a worry. None in good form.

At worst, we could kick in long and high, they just need to bring the ball to ground and let Kozzie and Toby go to work

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Will be hard to hold a mark in the 2nd half. Ground is dewy.

Freo will come out hard in 3Q so the boys need to be ready for it. Game is nowhere near over. 

Wish Tommo was the sub but he’ll get his chance next week.

Our tall forwards are a worry.

TMac has been OK of late, shame he's not out there (in more ways than one as he could have covered for May if necessary).

At least we’re consistent 🤦

Its an admirable thing to do by the club to get Melk to 200 games.

One would think he would play a blinder but far from it.

What was our adjustment in the backline?

[BDA 22,889]

Clarry excellent. Maxy, Viney and ANB very good

Can see why Freo are a low scoring team. Great defensively but very stodgy ball movement and poor accuracy

Just need to keep the scoreboard ticking over. 65-70 points is more than enough to win today

That's a big part of the problem though. We're really kicking it on top of their heads a lot this year. Thought we turned  a corner last week, some good signs with forward delivery. Hopefully it's better in the second half.

Not that that's the only problem of course, but it's the main one IMO.

[ucanchoose 1,816]

People laughed when I said pick van rooyen. Better than either forward below the knees

[chook fowler 19,551]

Despite Clarrie racking up possessions, Viney so far has been BOG IMO.

[old dee 23,872]

Our two key forwards aren't worth a bumper so far. 

[Diamond_Jim 12,628]

Just watching the May injury.

Hopefully no damage done by Lever when he came down on the back of May's knee

What’s the going price for a bumper these days Old Dee?

Good question I have been trying to work that out.

[dee-tox 4,835]

Wow! This is one powerful team!

What I like:

Viney: In full beast mode.

Bedford: that speed is mesmerising.

Kozzie!!!!

Max turning it on in the second quarter with his own clearances.

Petty filling in for May.

Lever doing great.

Things to work on:

Petracca is quiet.

Rivers has made a few blues.

Jacko could do a bit more especially with Lobb being so dangerous.

 

 

[loges 6,767]

Kayo playing up, glad it's half time.
