chook fowler

Whatever. Cognitive bias is the perogative of all supporters. Without it life would be pretty dull.

He took some vey good intercept marks and I can not remember 1 bad turnover.

Agree. One ordinary preseason game. Big deal. He got getter as the game went on.

All hail the rising King.

I thought T Mac was good. Not so sure about O Mac and am surprised about Jetta being out of favour - unless it's all mind games to get him to go to another level. We really need Frost to keep developing. ANB tackles and harasses very well but that's were it ends. Not sure what Harmes brings to the table as he seems to be a limited footballer. I really don't think Spencil will kick 3 too often - happy to be proved wrong. As much as I dislike Mitchell, he has to be one of the most prolific and consistent player of all time, and he never wastes a disposal. Oliver has many of the same traits. Not very happy about Trenners treatment- he deserves better.

Apart from Oliver the standout for me was Hunt - 27 disposals, plenty of dash and a super goal.

This is a joke

Agree the Weed isn't ready - hasn't done much for the 3 games so far. I reckon T Mac has been great - we would be buggered without him.

I think Clarrie is now our number 1 midfielder. He looks a cut above. ANB, Harmes, Garlett and Bugg are depth at best.

God they're dropping simple marks

The club needs to be deregistered to allow a Tassie team into the competition.

What a pile of excrement.

Does anyone know what is wrong with Sam Frost. I was impressed with his development last year and am surprised he wasn't playing in the preseason games.

Shouldn't forget the Max Factor feeding our midfield

Can't see why not.

You wouldn't get too many harder nuts than Lewis, Jones, Viney, Tyson, Oliver and Brayshaw.

You must have been cherooted

There is no doubt mouth guards have saved a lot of fangs - and yes they have to be properly moulded.

Like to know watts in that cheroot!

I'm sure the message has been well and truly received. Time to move on and play him. Can't see the point in letting it go on any longer, after all he had a great season in 2016 and that should count for something.

Hannan will have the Monkhurst smile. Also remember Fletcher losing some front teeth in the West. It takes a lot of time and money to get a good result.

You would think the club would enforce it. Non- negotiable as an OH&S issue.

Like the way he drifts forward and kicks goals. Reads the play really well and is developing elite disposal. He is up there with the very best of our talent. And Billy Stretch isn't too far behind.

Loved the harassing, the pressure, the smothers, the tackling, the hard ball gets - while still playing an attractive style of footy and kicking plenty of goals. They are playing a finals brand of football.

My apologies to Vanders - I was going by the TV stats. My bad.
