6: Pickett 5: Gawn 4: Lever 3: Steele 2: Steele 1: Fritsch Hon Mentions: Sharp, McDonald, Sparrow

hopefully a few of our boys have turned a corner and got a bit of confidence from the second half (langford, lindsay, sparrow in particular). they are good enough, just need to believe they are. sparrow fumbled terribly all around the ground but was great from the centre square in the second half. our forward line was a bit of a mess today. all on top of eachother. miochek moved away from what he did in round one and the others didn't lead to space. back to old habits. they are fit though!

6 ROOOOOOO (mah boyyyyy)!!!!!! 5 Max (loved his tapwork today!!!) 4 Culley (great job keeping Saints defenders accountable - such a hard body and that leap and hands are soooo goood) 3 Windsor (run and carry, took lots of ground, great connection with the inside mid's) 2 Kozzy (lost a few points for being a tad selfish at times.. still insane talent) 1 Sharp (for that moment in the last) Honourable Mentions: Disco, Petty, Miochek, Steele Salem.

Koltyn went ok in the end, but had a slow start.. Liked that he got more creative in the second half. He tried hard. Reckon the new gameplan will suit him. Not sure that I can see this athleticism that King and a few others have spoken about?.. Langford, Langdon, Rivers, Lindsay and Sparrow need to lift. Still veryyyy early days, so not too bad, but Langford appeared to be jogging a lot and showed very little urgency in attack or defence. Not sure who to drop to bring in Moose. Would still like T-Mac in, but can see that they wanna get games into Howes, and CJ. T-Mac might slow us down a bit too much.

What a legend. Such a good citizen. Every club needs someone like Jack. Be cool to see him and Viney get going together. Still got a few years in his legs I reckon!

LOVE Water from Your Eyes.. Life Signs is a great track (and has a sick filmclip).. RMFC are touring atm and they are a great punk band outta Sydney. also been listening to a bit of 80s Arthur Russell past few days.

glad we have him on the list, but as BDA said, a risk of being suspended most games (which is fine i guess, but does impact the consistency of our forward line dynamic). if he, and someone like Heath, can take turns (not play in the same team) providing a forward half chop-out at times for Gawn, and then take a key defender, without getting in the way of our other more skilled forwards, then AJ will earn his spot. bonus points if he takes out a few of those Pies..

Hoffman is both a good human and a natural leader. He also communicates well. Good get.

pretty poor that the guys don't have access to a toilet nearby.. which begs the question, what do our girls do? it shouldn't be the way. not a big deal if they were playing out in the sticks, but they are a professional club playing on a major arterial road with fans watching.. not good enough :-/

nahhhh, doesn't strike me as THAT guy.. seems like a lovely kid really.

as much as i believe that our forward problem has mainly been due to delivery by our mids/wingers and coaching style (surely!), i think that this led to our forward not leading correctly and also getting in each others way. a strong forward coach would have stamped that [censored] out from day one, but it somehow persisted in a professional setting.. fingers crossed something changes. i am hopeful as a hell of a lot will have changed since mid-2025.

some foot skills/speed if possible

Byrnes highlights look waaaaay better than Dovaston's.. He looks like his skills could translate to AFL.

watching from northern nsw last weekend i was super proud of the girls - especially that last quarter! love mick stinnear's passion and how close he is with them. great team. good range of skills and personalities!

am i blind, or was noah h-h missing too?!
