Worst defensive performance I’ve seen since 2017. Just appalling. Bring mouth guards to training and see you at Port Melbourne for a pier jump

Viney right foot is an automatic opposition inside 50

Is Oliver interested today?

Good opportunity to ease McAdam back into AFL footy against a weaker defence. He will be cherry ripe for next week.

Might be worth giving Jeffo a run. A weak game, away from home with little expectations. See if he can play and give him a taste of it. I would go with something left field this week in the ruck and ruck with Sparrow or another mid. Just nullify and get to work at ground level (like the Richmond blueprint has shown) Only 1 week till JVR is back so it is temporary.

I hate Essendon, but their skills are sublime. If they play with pressure they are so hard to beat

Gee I thought Laurie’s draft profile was elite kicking

It did. So did Pagans Paddock. Move with the times or be left behind. Starting offence from defence is not viable anymore.

No they didn’t. We were poor for a quarter and then 2 minutes at the start of each quarter. Aside from that we were better. They finished better in front of goal. That’s the difference. But they weren’t better

That’s because Goodwin always has a spare back. It’s killing us for years.

Billing’s is softer than a McDonalds sundae. He also pioneered the hospital hand pass. Too slow to move the ball and often kicks to opposition side of a contest. He needs to play VFL.

Yeah amazing how quick they moved on once they found a clear view

Been a work in progress for 3 years. Did love Roos and Traccs aggression forward. Petty and Fritta should watch the tape

Or Christian will give Roo a week suspension

I love it when we ditch the spare player back and play an equal number at the contest. We look so much better. Please Goody, give that a try from now on

[censored] it

First goal of every quarter.

Midfield setup is [censored]

Fritta a chance of not trailing his man by 5 metres

Umps are up and about

Heavy in Ballarat and looking at the radar I recon a wet game is coming. Not our favourite conditions

Walsh and DeKoning killed us last time.

Glad to see McGovern back. He cannot defend, just uses his making skills to get involved. The same careful kicking strategy we used against Geelong should combat his strengths. Martin will need a game or two for some touch.

Was about to post that about Robbo as I hadn’t seen it mentioned. Couldn’t even recall Fritta ever playing for free kicks.. we have a few players that do, Kozzie and Spargo to name a couple, but Robbo is clearly has no idea.

He has been tagged as Clarry and Vines have had a slow start to the season, all the attention has gone to stopping Trac. Clarry is getting better and will carve up the blues if they spend too much effort on Trac.
