Boots and all

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.

I though Salem was solid last night, given how much time he's had out of the game. I really appreciated that ability his decision making and ability to hit a target coming out of the back line.

Has anyone seen Kossie tonight, virtually unsighted from my perspective.

Skills are disappointing under pressure. It's been an issue for weeks but now we are up against better opposition it's hurting us.

Great quarter Dee's, no [censored]' mercy!!

Bloody hell Swannies, get going will ya's!!

I'm trying to work out whether our backline jitters are due to less midfield pressure or they're just not functioning that well. Opposition sides seem to be getting more uncontested marks in the F50 with run through the midfield. Also, May and Lever do a whole lot of great stuff every game but they both seem to be fumbling more this season.

Yep, I think they have learnt from last year's fadeout.

Agree, Turner isn't ready. He did a few good things tonight but struggled in the body work.

Bank the 4 points and look to next week. I'd love to say we won't play so poorly again, but we will given that it's already happened a few times this season.
