  1. It costed us games last year and looking the same this year.
  2. Brilliant pass by Fritta
  3. Yep, poor kick by Rivers straight to an opponent
  4. Geez Fritsch almost took a blinder
  5. Definitely not the tackling pressure there at the moment but some good runs forward
  6. Those baulks and blind turns. Just sublime
  7. He also told them not to hunch over when finishing a run. "Never show the opposition you're tired". Didn't see any of our players with hands on knees today. They looked really fit. Also, Clarrie copped a pretty nasty bump to the throat and chin which had him on the ground spewing. Anyone else reckon there's a review in it?
  8. Really like the ambitious goals and core values. Simple targets that the whole club can aim at. It's about bloody time we made a declaration like this. As Pert states, it all flows from results on the footy field.

  10. I think that was the best I've seen this team play. Great intensity at the contest and controlled the ball really well in the conditions.
  11. This list is becoming impressive

    Will it grow mould by half time?
  13. Probably like playing at Victoria park in the 70s
  14. Sounds smart to me
  15. Free kicks which resulted at a shot on goal would be interesting.
  16. Golf is easier to predict than our team. Watching the end of last season, I don't think the culture and heart is there. Slight improvement and will finish 10th

    Back out in the f truck tomorrow night. Great way to spend our one month wedding anni.
  18. Thanks for the reports Saty. One thing I've been wondering about is our drop off in skills this year. It seemed like from the reports pre season last year compared to previous years that maybe there wasn't the level of ball work combined with hard running etc. Do you think the skill work was at the same level last year as there was in the previous couple? I remember how people remarked that after Roos took over that a lot of the fitness stuff included ball usage and match simulation. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree from interstate.
  19. We don't usually blink, just shart our dacks. ? Worth a try I guess.

    Oh Springfield. Horrible option

    He'll probably be a better player at a club with a better culture and a better coach.

    I reckon we'll really regret this. Our backline is brittle and small apart from May. Jetta is awesome but getting on. How much longer can we keep playing him on bigger blokes and continue to see him crunched? Lever and May, will they be fit? Oscar? Pfft Lockhart is good but small. Frost has improved every year. The game is getting faster and faster. He's got great closing speed. He wasn't used enough last year for kick ins and breaking lines. He's our second big backman and he's off. Roos built our team from the backline up. It's looking shaky and Tomlinson ain't going to fix it.

    Martin I reckon

    Should Gil give GWS a priority pick after this? ?

    They're playing like us. Over handballing and bombing it in forward.
