Interested to understand why you would post pics of 3rd world countries & compare them to a wealthy first world country like Australia. These type of posts are endemic of the “fear” factor we are currently living in & are not helpful or informative!!

He was briefly but no Gatorade shower as there was another game later on

We are building a team to play finals for hopefully the next 10years. A whole host of 19yr olds may not win us a flag this year (although I believe we are right in the mix )however all we lacked tonight was a little polish & finishing. Don’t care who the Bulldogs or any other team had missing …you play who you play. Appalling umpiring but again we can only blame ourselves for losing. I believe Brown had one of his better games even though conditions didn’t suit ..I’ll change my opinion if he doesn’t incrementally improve against the Suns. I’m actually happy we will slip from top 2..remove supporter expectations & let them roll on through the next few games. We’re ok…

Thought it was interesting in Bradshaw’s after match interview that he alluded to playing the Bulldogs next week. Thought it was a slip of the tongue but maybe they had already been told it could be a possibility …if they were told before the game maybe that’s what they were thinking about ..

Dunkley out ..14 day quarantine

Always a lot different when you put these players in a side surrounded by top players

Kayo freebies

It was listening to the commentators who said he had rolled his ankle & the other comment was that Bedford was the top small forward in the VFL at present. So no other source of info !

Mitch brown rolled his ankle last week..Bedford was ok tonight & Lockhart …chandler not so.

Lose by 1pt…what stood out for me similar to the AFL side .,,heaps more pressure by GWS

Ben Brown had been off since 3/4 time ..doesn’t seem to be injured so maybe for Port ,1 pt

2pts

Been very quiet

GWS 3ptz in front

3 pts diff

3 goals to Weid …

Have a look at their membership no ‘s …I was at the game today & considering GWS have no supporters..not a bad turn out. It was pretty hard to get excited with the quality of football we were playing …at least we didn’t sook it up like ESS

You as a supporter are exactly the same as media who don’t give us due respect. Personally I go into each season with optimism & maybe a blissful mindset but tempered with a good sense of reality. I prefer not to “look back at history “ but half the fun of being supporter is to get excited & hyped up by our new players & if our hopes are dashed as they have been many times …so be it. I don’t follow the Dees to be measured & analytical ..,that can occur after the season. As for this season I’m enjoying every win …going to every game I can & praying that at the end of the season whether we win a GF or not ..we will have at least established an identifiable brand of footy and a football club that has garnered the respect of the wider football community

Always find it so interesting how people view games so differently. A 19yr old playing significant ruck & game time is quite extraordinary..pretty sure Hogan missed his first season with stress fractures of the back & not sure he reached the lofty heights you’re talking about. Jackson is extraordinarily talented for one so young!

Pretty sure that Viney said he has been nursed & prepared for the pointy part of the season. They have been extremely cautious & not bought him back early so would be very surprised if he missed next week

Got my 3 …Level 3…incredibly happy ?

True ...however Bulldogs avoided the Langdon wing big time and went down the Bradshaw wing which is why he was more involved & Langdon had a quieter game. I trust our systems & look forward to seeing what Sparrow brings

Would like to see the same team ...conditions look good ...little wind & fine & a 4.35 game. No excuses for big forwards & as per May & Lever ...connection doesn’t happen overnight. I’d be happy to leave Viney for one more match & also Jackson. Chandler also deserves another week ...

We are absolutely the better team . In saying that ...if any team is a couple of % off for whatever reason you could lose. We have seen this with most of the top 4 sides this season. Every game we play we are now hunted ... Sydney with a great coach in Longmire tagged Fritsch & Lever ...played their dour flooding ..stop the scoring game & we still managed to find a way to win Great learnings for our players & can only help them as the season goes on. Agree that there is a huge upside for our team which is so exciting!!

Certainly don’t agree with the sentiments of “lack of intent and hunger”. Intent and hunger probably won us the game last night. There is a distinct lack of cohesion with clearances which Goody is aware of & as some other posters have alluded to...fix that even by 50% and our winning margins will increase dramatically!! Aside from that is Gawn perhaps carrying a niggle ?
