How about that grub Stringer in the first or second quarter. Gave away a free to Nev and then need him in the face. No 50

Looks like it. Couple of good young players in the team. We could make finals in a couple of years.

Haha yes. Maybe even chasing people hopelessly back out of the forward line. If only Jesse was here. He could teach the boys how to make a vain attempt to pull a free kick when completely outnumbered. This tactic worked at least once every two games. 6 x forwards divided by 2 games equals 3 free kicks in front of goal! Oh wait. We usually only have one forward in the forward 50 when going forward.

I agree. People are forgetting game 1 where we got run off our feet. Preuss will make us slower and our biggest danger is Essendon running us off our feet. Game 2 we just bombed it in. If our plan is to rest Gawn / Preuss in the goal square and bomb it in, we're screwed as well. We need to be faster. We need to lower our eyes. Not sure that Wagners are the answer but I don't think Preuss is.

How were the bombs into the forward line? Hope they practiced this lots as they didn't seem to work last weekend.....

Yeah that was the most disappointing aspect of Saturday night for me. Regression back to bombing it in all night long..... Exactly the same as early last year.

Not bombing it blindly into the forward line would be my most favoured change. I remember us doing this early last year. It should have been addressed by quarter time last night ffs.

Probably MDMA. Not matter how much you take it starts to wear off midway through the third.

Chicken twisties

I agree about Preuss. We got beaten by leg speed and contested possessions in the mid field. He wouldn't have made a difference. I thought Dec Keilty did alright in JLT and may be better suited to support Gawn while having some more toe than Preuss

Thanks @Drunkn167 great report. I remember watching a training run at the Gabba years ago and being so impressed with Rawlings work with the backline players. Really hands on and very detailed with the players. I hope the club can hang on to him and feel like our senior backline squad are missing his coaching.

Season defining game. (Just wanted to get in first) Go Dees

Hope they win by a point

Great watching Dusty get caught

He copped a rough time living in Southpark

I think you're spot on Paulo and this is a prime candidate for the rules committee to look at for next year. Something along the lines of "players must be gazing into each other's eyes before contact is made" some sort of mutual consent......pfft

An even higher authority has spoken. No night footy after labor wins the next election according to our depudy dawg Channel 7 will be furious.? https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/mar/10/forget-night-footy-michael-mccormack-warns-against-labors-renewables-target

I'd agree. I spend so much time rewinding the game to watch his hands and body work. He's just a joy to watch. I've never seen a player with the awareness and skills that he has. And he's got some mongrel in him too.

That's a really good point. If the player receiving the 50 can fend the opposition player off and knock them over or behind them, then they've got a huge advantage to take off.

Bugger the scarves. Mfc bucket hats in the membership packs next year

With May rolling into the backline I'm looking forward to watching Fritsch hopefully going forward. We seemed a bit one dimensional with Jesse playing. Much more unpredictable with TMAC Weid Tracc and Gawn floating forward. I think Fritsch is a Brad Green in the making if they give him the chance up front.

Hey @Alex Flood this article may give you a better insight than the current thread. http://www.27bslash6.com/magic8ball.html

I think Gawny had a crack about Melbourne playing two Friday nights in a row during his interview with Eddie on Fox last night.

Brilliant. Best seat in the house.

Thought Danger was a real grub tonight.
