They said Jackson went into the rooms early in second QTR I think. Not sure if he's got a niggle. Yep, we just still have passengers though.

We are heading for a convincing 3 point win. Just have that feeling again

There's a definite strategy for one tall to work their opponents under the ball allowing the second tall at the back to take a clean mark. I like it.

Tmac is back!

Geez I love Pickett

Congrats mate!

Would be nice to be like the Melbourne Storm. 20 opening round wins in a row. Go Dees

Playing in a better team with a better game plan? Makes players look good.

I think they may calm down a bit by Saturday. I haven't renewed yet either.

Yep, the blokes should be watching that performance. Hard gut running footy. Great tackling and pressure acts like that wins every time. Really proud of the women tonight. I think they would have mentally scarred the crows tonight. Ive always thought our poor skills are one of our main problems for the men. But watching this game just reminded me how important agression and pressure is. Just awesome.

This is spot on. We're a club full of excuses. So many seasons and "must win" games that we just don't even turn up for. That ruthless winning culture was there for a short time in 2018, collapsed in a prelim and hasn't been seen since.

I thought it was a deliberate tactic. The oppo expects it to get kicked to Gawn. Quite a few times he deliberately ran under the ball drawing defenders and allowing the second tall behind him to clunk the mark. But I can see the logic in spreading them out too. Seems to make no difference anyway because even when Tmac or Jackson marked on centre wing, it's almost a guaranteed turnover as we kick to half forward anyway.

Of all the players out there yesterday, I was probably most disappointed with Harmes' game. People had been crying out for him to have more midfield time last year and he was given the opportunity to really step up yesterday and he didn't. He's in the same boat as Melksham IMHO. Has the talent but not the determination and leadership we need when we're under the pump. The opposite of Steven May.

Don't worry, we will learn from this. ?

Chandler will be ok too if we don't burn him.

He's moved Jones back into the midfield by the looks. He was one of our positives going forward as at least he can kick a football straight. When do we mention Yze?

What's this learning thing you speak of?

Really disappointed with his game today. Was he supposed to be on Bont? Just no leadership by him in there.

We're looking 2019 now

By himself again. Did he shart his dacks at the start of the game.

Goal to Bontempelli. Someone will need to pick him up next quarter

I know we're running a second rate midfield but our missed tackles and lack of manning up is disappointing. I reckon our forward entries have improved and Jones is playing really well as a half forward. Lever and May (and the dogs kicking) have kept us in it. Would be great to steal this game.

Geez, Hunt standing 5 metres off Bont who takes a handball and kicks into f50 for a mark and goal again.
