So losing Lever for us is like losing who for WCE, Rich, Syd or Geel? creates another opportunity

Ongoing commentary of how Frost, J Smith, Garlett, Keilty, Pedo, Hunt are going much appreciated

Now now, don’t be silly mono!

Surely we’d know by now if it were a definite ACL. He’s walking around pretty well too. Some hope

On game day they said he’s had scans but it’s not clear cut yet, there is some hope, but only a little imo

For some reason Pedersen makes sense, has played there before, good in the air, big body, reads the play well and in form. On form alone he deserves a go and this may be his calling

His hit outs weren’t to advantage (clearances) and his kicking lets him down, another shocker at goal today, already cost us one game, please don’t let it be a final

Depends which way the club wants to go, could be: 1. Replace Lever with a like for like. Pedersen, Frost, Smith, Petty. 2. Use Hibberd to fill the role and bring in Hunt, Smith for run. 3. Have Fritsch/Harmes cover and bring in Balic/Stretch. fascinating, a big decision coming.

Just watched replay, I think they both went back, heatmap tells a story also

I’ll say it again, the most underrated footballer in the league, never gets beaten

So who laughed at me in round 4 when I said we’d be 8-3! Giddy up. 9 day break and bye will be a good refresh and reset. Hopefully we snag the pies now.

That is the point.

Did he go to the backline to cover Lever? Outstanding back there

Looked like Fritsch went back to cover Lever today? Courageous in the air.

When Levers form escalated, so did the teams. Massive loss however we need to cover him. One soldier out, another in. Frost, J Smith, Petty.

I was playing footy that day, remember hearing the result and seeing the highlights in the club rooms, it’s a day/moment I’ll never forget. I still don’t think Farmer gets the credit league wide that he deserves, freak of a player.

I think the difference with us is we have rebuilt slowly and carefully for sustained success when Roos came in, learnt defence, played kids in vfl, developed carefully and built a culture. Dogs were a frantic mess that snatched a flag. I agree that doggies supporters are a good bunch too

Did you watch that north v saints game? Quite possibly the worst skilled game in history

From where they came from was extraordinary, IIRC they were choking and losing games unbelievably in the dying minutes, credit to them for turning it around. There’s no doubt our current wins are great for team confidence and belief, I’m just remaining level headed as I’ve been burnt before!!

How about “they weren’t playing well back then”

Peter Siddle loves a banana

North weren’t going very well at the time, can’t claim the high ground now they’re playing better.
