TMAC will inevitably slow after 2023 and Sam will have a great opportunity to come through with a fantastic young group. He is smart for re-signing with us. It’s not just about the group we have now, but the group we will have 2-3 years down the track. Weideman is 24. That is still young. He can bide his time in the VFL, and shall an opportunity present - he will be capable of stepping in. Worse case for him, he bides his time, and comes through with the next group of players in a couple years time.

Would’ve fitted in well at Essendon this year.

Gus stays down back. Jordon on the wing frees up a midfield spot - which Harmes fills, and also means a less rotation for Viney, Petracca and Oliver. So that’s good. We had a mid too many in there. Gus down back helps our backline sync up better with our wings, which will only help Salem and Bowey. The more we get different lines working in sync the smoother our transition into the forward line is.Hopefully translating to more goals which means more wins

He used to play for Campbelltown before he came across to Vic Country juniors as a kid. I think Campbelltown would fall in GWS zoned area. Not sure. I know he lived in the place as a kid so not surprised he wants to head back there.

Good comparison. I see a lot of Schwarz in JVR. It’s the nuance in their movement - the small things I see. It’s really impressive. I think JVR is the next big thing, and he’s ours, and the league doesn’t even know it. It’s scary to think we could go back to back, and also have the best youth coming through. Nightmare for a list manager but good problem to have

An improving footballer. Brayshaw and Viney both overcome obstacles early in their career and had to adapt their playing styles. Was great to see them able to do so but has served them well. Viney is hard headed but more versatile than people realize. He is the best 3rd man to have in that midfield, and when either of the 3 rest, they are replaced by Harmes, who is just completely underrated as a footballer, by everyone. There are so many factors as to why we are a great side. Viney will get better I think.

Yep. They aren’t in a position to get Jackson. They need to rebuild. Shelling up quality picks for Jackson would just leave them with a young gun ruck and nothing to surround him with. That isn’t smart trading. They would know this. Doesn’t mean they still won’t do the smart thing. It’s west coast. They have been extremely poor in long term list management.

Great tackle there by Chandler.

Good first quarter.

Absolute gun. I’d give up a second rounder for him. Maybe even sweeten that somehow. Hill Is very good.

Yeah. He sees things in black and white. Like most borderlines do. Anyone trying to understand Harry O will soon learn that he cannot understand himself. Bloke is mentally ill and needs proper therapy and help. I say that as someone who doesn’t particular like Eddie, and who believes Buckley is a micro manager. I do hope Harry O stuffs up enough to be held accountable by the law, as it’s tne only tool provided by society where he may need to curb his behaviour. Social media is a borderlines paradise, gives them the perfect platform to gratify their need for attention, and penchant for chaos, but, given enough rope, and they soon hang themselves,

Just Harry O being himself. I used to hope he’d get help, but he obviously hasn’t. The only thing I glean from this is that Harry O still isn’t well. Get help Harry

Jackson will handle 80% ruck load if TMAC and Brown can ruck the fwd line. We may be able to bring Weideman in if Lever is out, and trial him down back, and have him ruck the back line. Something like that.

I think St Kilda the worse side we’ve played this year. 3-4 goals of theirs inflated the score line. They controlled 30-35% of the game, maybe even more, but couldn’t score - which is actually to be expected. Most their score came from dubious decisions. Bring on next week, I think we played well today but probably running about 70% still

Gus Langers Viney Brown Kozzi

Massive. Especially considering both of their goals weren’t even legit. Kings was touched off Mays back and also off of another player, and their other goal was a 50/50 play where petty or king could’ve received a free.

They had a great quarter the saints and only advanced a goal.

Great goal Brown has been huge today

Pickett legged and then pushed in the back

Kings last goal wasn’t a mark and it’s turned the game.

That wasn’t a mark. Not even nearly. Just really terrible decision to call that a mark.

They only call ours out.

We are tripling King in the air and have Membry covered. Our mids are applying pressure. I can’t see them piling on goals. We are a bad match up for them. They aren’t used to losing the ruck battle so we have them on the back foot from the bounce.

That’s awesome. They will struggle now without having a goal on the board. Pressure builds.
