Boots and all

I think at present we can play BBB or Brodie, probably not both. I think others have said we are not sufficiently fleet of foot in our front half with all of Max, Brodie and Brown playing. Add to that May who is great playing out of the square but gets exposed for mobility up the ground and we look a little slow. Agree we need to get Petty right and Spargs is struggling. Ins for me are either Smith or Tomlinson and Chandler for Spargs.

Brilliant comeback. I thought we had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel after Daniher's goal early in the 4th. Viney's goal was superb, just a beast with a never say die attitude. Max was massive he must stay in the ruck. Good to see a few glimmers of form from Kossie too. Melk just [censored] wanted that last mark, nobody was getting in his way. He knows how to fire the crowd up too. I liked that the players generally took the game on in the last quarter, challenged the tackler and moved the ball forward rather than trying to make space with multiple short handballs. Go Dee's!!

WTF!!

Now let's not see an immediate reply for a change.

Only against us.

I feel as though the floodgates could open for the Lions any time. Not confident at all.

Lions far cleaner with the ball, less dinky kicks and handballs and more run. Seen this movie before. Something will have to change for us to win this one.

A few questions to DL...Would a run on the wing suit Bowey/McVee? Do they have the tank? Could Hunter or Langdon do with a rest? It might be worth a roll of the dice.

I was thinking exactly that.

Has Fritta been subbed out?

Yes [coldly] cold picket...I can't comprehend the censoring on DL at times 😉

It's very cold by Alice Springs standards. Yesterday was the coldest maximum June temperature recorded ever recorded there, reaching the lofty heights of 7.4 degrees and eclipsing the previous record of 7.7 degrees set in 1956 🥶 Except it was July yesterday 🤣, so not as interesting, not the coldest but [censored] cold nonetheless.

It's the excessive handballs in suboptimal conditions causing the ball movement to stall in the midfield. Ugh.

Why do we have to handball so much?

...and Messi goals!!!

Yeah, who's on that [censored] bloke?

Max...don't stand for this big fella!! Situation needs to be rectified 🤨 http://Seven things we learned: This Dog is the best ruck in the game - https://www.afl.com.au/news/940684

A basket case that just beat us on our home deck.

LJ out-point Maxy, ouch!!

We are mid-table without a doubt, for now anyway. Plenty of time to turn it around bit have to be realistic about where we are at.

Lever has been missing so many gettablemarks he used to take.

Smart forward craft Freo. I wish we could do that!

I have a feeling that Viney will have a huge, match winning game today. Without Oliver it just seems set up for the unleashing of our ballistic missile!!

I'm just not a booer.

If we intend to keep entering our forward line in this manner with no pressure at ground level, we will get sliced up. Simple as that.
