In Harmes Way

This is the NM team from R1 that were in their game vs doggies to 3QT and then faded in the last. Petty to Larkey, TMac can take Darling, the Howes role would be v Zurhaar to free up Lever for intercept marking (worked well yesterday); but I'm not sure Howes is the matchup. I can see three tall(ish) forwards against this backline and under the roof. I'm sure we learnt something from playing them a couple of weeks ago in this regard - Disco in for AJ the only change for mine. Overall we're far too strong in the guts.

And I thought we got a couple of insufficient OOB's free kicks through noise of affirmation. Wouldn't have been because they were actually there.

Hopefully Jeffo takes a chunk of confidence from that game and builds. His leading pattern and mark in the last qtr for the goal reminded me of Neita.

Given the money they’ve pumped into this, why don’t they share their stadium with our co-tenants and give our MCG back to us

Unless we’re 6-0 Adam

You can show yourself out dub

Isn’t that loitering within tent?

Watch him make all 6 debutants the sub

Fixed

I'd be surprised if they get on the plane to come down here.

Bit harsh picket. In the wet, you want strong second efforts for when the ball hits the deck which I think Johnson delivers in spades

Good fun. Loved the goals they picked. I was at all those games bar the granny. Absolutely loved Clarry's - shut those crows fans right up. I was yelling out "how good was that" to a silent grandstand from the third back row. And I made it out alive

And six Kossie’s

Not when he thinks it will win us finals, and the alternative won't.

Especially when Langdon is 5 lengths in front on the outer wing, taking another bounce

Get him to a hypnotist.

Or maybe a wheelchair version Can you run as fast as Bailey Fritsch with a defensive second effort. Too much?

.....if you cannot kick a goal.

Watched the game in patches on Sunday and the replay yesterday. I was generally happy with the level of effort, and handballing out of congestion to space was largely working a treat as a change from last year. Had a chuckle when Koz came on for the last qtr, and Adam Simpson said "imagine you've been playing 3 quarters, pumped out 12-13kms and then you have to play on a fresh Kozzie Pickett in the last quarter"

Give Koz a run ffs

It was also good to see Brad express interest for a future return to the presidency. Augurs well for club stability.

How could I not. What a shocker of a jumper

As well as a dress rehearsal for round 1, I hope the club also look at this game as a dress rehearsal on how we play the dockers next time when it counts. Thats why I reckon Kossie has to play

That would be artificial insemination

I'll have what he's smoking.
