Anybody willing to give this ageing queen a rundown on how Oliver is going? I’m really wanting him to stick it far up some people this year

Clarry just did the most superb candy-sell on the run right in front of me, then dished off a perfect handball. My heart sang. He’s back, baby!

Umps let play for a minute after the 3 minutes ended?

What was the plus 3 minutes thing? For those not watching. 

Campbell is definitely holding his own in the ruck. His experience and size will make him a very worthwhile acquisition

Jack Billings looks in good touch too. He’s a whipping boy on here but he looks more sleek and has used the ball well including kicking a snag.

Langfords gonna be a forkin' Thoopa Star.
There .... I said it.

Do the reserves play next ?

Did he look confident kicking the goal? Last year I reckon it was too much in his head and put too much pressure on himself. When he was doing setshots in particular you could see how nervous he looked and didn't want to kick it and more times than not missed, and missed easy goals.

Taj Woewodin has been impressive as well on the wing.

Consider our keys not playing, and the horrible wind, that was a very good half. The old guard who are out there are doing their thing….Petty and Lever dominant, AMW very good (he takes Knuckles spot for mine), Jed Adams v good (lovely left foot), Bowey and Howes same. Kozzy, Clarrie and Riv carrying the very undermanned midfield. Langford getting lots, and using well, same XL, fabulous left foot included (great signs that they’re totally comfortable). Taj, Billings, Sparrow and Sharp doing well. Roo, Jeffo and Disco all working hard (wind is killing forward 50 marks) to create options and contests. Oh, and what a relief to have Tom Campbell this year for Max relief, he’s just plug n play competitive, and making Xerri v grumpy.

Agree with the set shots last year. His goal was a snap from the pocket. 

Laurie looks like he finally has some size in his legs and torso

He might surprise a few this year

Hello Jared Rivers. 

Benny Brown picking up the commentator saying Jared Rivers rather than Trent Rivers was gold 😂

Anyone know if there’s a site posting the stats?

So turns out people meltdown in match simulation threads as well….

Fans have to get match fit too

Simulation meltdowns

North got the rub if the first half but wow that’s a decision. Save those for round 1 

Kayo are counting a goal scored by North during a scenario training where we were 8 points up and had to defend. Technically the score is  54-36 I think
