Higgins also out with a hammy

Pleasantly surprised to see this thread was bumped to pump up Riv. Has copped a bit this year on here but for a 2nd year player he is cool, calm and collected. Is developing very nicely.

Just got back from the game. Took my 3 young ones who wanted to leave half way through the first, and after that first quarter who could blame them. But we took control from there. Clarry copped a heavy tag but great to see the others trying to work out how to get de Boer off him. Max was enormous, Kozzie just about brought the stand down on multiple occasions. What a win.

Announced the other day they are expecting twins as well. Big few weeks in the Jones household if he holds his spot.

Heading to this game. First game in person in nearly 5 years. We should be sniffing a wounded opponent and really go in for the kill. Not get ahead of ourselves and just assume it's going to happen; really get ruthless and grind them in to the dust. We'll see.

I think this is actually really important. Previously, he would have been upset he wasn't starting in the guts. But he sees a clear role for him on the wing and is happy to just play his part. Same as Trac. He plays a lot more midfield but also seems happy playing wherever we need him. A bit of maturity/team first attitude creeping in, maybe.

Hmm. Not sure then, because I definitely got two emails.

I got an email for my daughter's membership. Two in fact; one saying they were on sale and one saying the early access was delayed. Not sure why she got one and others didn't. Edit: now I think of it, the email may have been for 'local' supporters I.e. Canberra and NSW based.

I think I saw Viney and Oliver do the same at one point. That's how you really know they are working it out.

I'm sure it's just because she's NSW based; we know where her loyalties really lie. Plus wasn't all of Hollywood at that game (The saints had Eric Bana but it's not quite the same)?

Bit hard to coach when your prized ball user goes at 50%. Their skills were deplorable.

Joeboy - most positive analysis But Jordon was good. Does the hard stuff the let Oliver and Tracc do what they do. And Kozzie - he's a star

The saints ruckman are actually paying attention to him. No easy marks behind the play

With that hair and the 36 on his back, it's like having Flash running around again ?

May Lever TMac Spargo Oliver Jordan

Harmes needs to be dropped.

Max is not as good as we think he is...

We are still the stupidest team in the AFL

Rivers having a nightmare. We still get picked apart too easily

There are a few doing it. Rivers has overused the handball a few times.

Kicking skills haven't really improved.

Lever and May are killing it. Great to see TMac playing well. So much for Harmes huge preseason. He has been jogging anytime he has to chase. Our mids are still getting sucked in and Freo are getting it on the outside

They might be a message but no CEO would get them in if they were going to make the group dysfunctional. They were brought in to give the team the tools they need. If it then goes pear shaped, well fair enough. But it would make no sense to bring them in to mess up the coaches group or else they might as well have sacked Goodwin last year
