Why are you on the field Oscar?

Whilst I don't like to put players down, I did feel great relief seeing ANB dropped.

Nup, I can't be patient with this performance. Absolutely unacceptable.

It's going to click for us, one quarter or another. Whether it's the next one, or next week, it'll click, then all will be well. Just... need to not lose too many until we do.

Poor start. We can win this.

Port Adelaide, VERY impressive. Completely out-played us, and deserves the win. Good luck for the season ahead.

Yeah look, that was a particularly bad last quarter. Looking back, all signs were pointing to us being underdone for Round 1. Our JLT performances, our injuries, our interrupted pre-season to most of our stars... I'm willing to let this ONE slide. ... just THIS one though.

Yeah been pleasantly surprised about Sparrow, thought he'd take time settling in VFL before debuting. Has not looked out of place.

Think the most disappointing thing about this game so far for mine... ... is all those empty seats! We'll get back on track. I have faith.

2019, come at me! Go Dees!

Hmm. Medium impact to the head apparently. What evidence do they have to support this?

Not really concerned about this performance. It's incredible how little this matters; just supposed to be a warm-up for the real stuff. ... I like to think I'd be saying the same thing if we were winning by 10 goals, but honestly I can't say for sure :-X

Hmm, jury is out for mine. But, you'll have my support, and thousands of others; something May hasn't had before.

This deal is very disappointing for mine. Feels like the gravity of Hogan's exceptional attributes have been forgotten just because they became surplus to the team. I can't say I'm excited about the net outcome for us. But totally understand why a lot are, and the reasoning by the FD. The pressure is now on to make the trade worth it.

Well, apparently we were happy with 5 and 23. Given that's now 6... and if Freo get 6 + 19 from Neale, then surely we'd be within our rights to get 6 + 19?

*fist pump*

Far out I admire Josh Mahoney. Professionalism personified. Wouldn't want anyone else in the role.

Gee that is probably one of the more impressive highlights package (yes, I know) that I have seen from a tall defender.

...

I mean, gut feel/initial reaction was that we overpaid. But, really, he did finish in the All-Aus squad at 21 years of age... which Treloar didn't do. IMO, we probably paid the market price in the end, but with a hint of "we could have paid less" about it.
