McVie looks pretty good.

But but but we didn’t play 4 quarters of footy 🙄

Good hit out and nobody died.

Loved what McVee served up  

At the race. Levers right ankle size of tennis ball. Didn’t look pretty l. 

We saw a response. 

Good sign, no doubt it would have been addressed during that third quarter. 

No injuries positive. Mcvee looks great. Hunter going to change us. Grundy will work into it. 

Trac looks like he has a noticeable limp. @Demonland

I have always thought so. I think it is just the way he walks.

Solid game first up. 
McVee impressive and Grundy will get better, that was his first competitive match for a while. Petty is still very good one on one back there.

Enjoyed the commentator talking about the Saints needing to find a way past Tom Petty as the spare man down back.

 

Hunter prolific

McVee classy and clean

Rivers busy - like the midfield move 

Bowey excellent marking/bodywork for a player of his size

Grundy a bit underwhelming

Gawn floating back freeing up Lever is 2021 vibes. Don't have to have perfect forward connection when the other team can't score.

 

Nice to see the short option at lockout too

My boy Hunter played well. Loved his disposal.

I liked Chandlers game as well

good workout overall

And I'm not holding out much hope of the Saints surprising Freo in Wk 1. Looks like a long season ahead for them.

Huuter coped a hit to his leg, late in that last quarter. 

Lever walked onto the ground at the end, minus a boot.

I liked Rivers game, was even organising the backline structure, and often first to support/encourage his mates.

Mcvee looks at home.

Given the size of his upper body, not really surprising. Then again his quads will also be tough to lug around, just massive thighs of striated meat.

i missed most of q2 cos of meetings, but based on what i did see of those four quarters:

- lever won't play round 1; plugger back, Fritsch comes in
- mcvee replaces salem as small defender
- chandler required in 23 as pickett given more room to roam
- grawndy still a work in progress
- hunter will be a weapon as a second wingman
- rivers ahead of sparrow and jj as next rotation mid

Wasn't huge on Grundy today. Thought most of his taps went to the opposition and his disposal was simply meh.

Still thrilled we got him, hopefully he works into some form before the start of the season.

Phillipou said he was the best player in the draft and he might be right.  Brad Hill got plenty of it with some good run. Both good dreamteam options. Wilkie was decent. The only bright spots for the Saints, it's going to be a long season for them.

Grundy and Gawn will take time to settle in together, but when they gel look out 👀

We aren’t going to play 8 defenders unless one of them dominates this game so Riv will just be a rotation. Sparrow will continue playing good minutes, he was better than people think 

Bowza looked in great form

Think a 10 goal win is what most of us would have hoped/expected. 
 

Trac break tackles with ease, Hunter showing what a draft steal that was, Rivers and Kozzy getting decent midfield time and McVee’s cool defending were some of the highlights for me. 

McVee was great looks to be another great Taylor pick up.

bowey 1 on 1 was improved significantly 

hunter a draft steal 

Grundy and Gawn still combined for 3 goals let’s be honest if that’s a weekly occurrence then that will work brilliantly 

People splaying Lever won’t play rd1, due to a rolled ankle. Is that hyperbole and MFCSS??

If it’s just a rolled ankle he’ll be fine, depends on if any ligament damage.
