I'd start with this, a few others should feel nervous though

Great goal though

We're a rebuilding team, lose games - hopefully our next lost doesn't have the same hallmarks - that's all we can hope for I guess. Where do we begin; Too flat; Too tall; Let them have too much of the ball; Essendon with 41 clearances, season average for them is 24.8 Efficiency inside 50 down, made them look like a team of AA defenders Gave away the pill too often; Obviously injuries to Salem/Melk didn't help, umpiring was almost as bad as we were, i know we were cabbage but momentum killer in the 3rd

Thanks WCE

In a rebuilding team who've had a few good results, there is always an unexpected banana peel performance/result, just pray its not against these fellas

Glad to see Howes/Sharp take steps forward. They've got the running/athletic capacity needed for the system. Add in Chin, clog players/role players that run all day are crucial now.

Was this part of the trade deal?

Apologies if posted already, Just saw the herald sun voting for best player of the game. 3 K PicketT 2 Melksham 1 Lachlan Gulbin (GC) Might need to send in a ‘please explain‘

Petracca seeing us play attacking football with dare and run is a bit like the meme about your high school upgrading everything after you've left school.

still a little funny they dont play the MCG again during the regular season

My thoughts from today; Umpires always seemed out of position there is no doubt that the Max in Max Gawn stands for Maximum Kicked 100 in 3 games out of 4, gone are the days of wondering where our goals will come from? Gut busting performance from Sparrow Jack Steele clearance and tackling star again Initial burst of speed of Kozzy in the guts great to see after years of one dimensional team. Was worried early on about their big forwards dominance but gone on top of that. Glad Disco is back Need to boost that disposal efficiency a little Sharp fits the system like a glove

Found it funny North have the majority of tips but arent favourite. Are we all just enjoying/hoping for more blues for the blues.

La Liga is having a Retro match week this season and the kits look ace. If done right it works well. This latest version, not so much.

Watching Cross on the weekend throw/launch himself into packs reminded me of a Melky

JS top tackler in R3 and R4 for us. Already 28 for the season, = top in the league. The boys really lifted on the weekend, R2 - 42 tackles R3 - 55 tackles R4 - 82 tackles

Also spending too long on the forum the next business day.

Petty had a few errors leading to goals and it wasnt his best game but still had 6 spoils (2nd most in game), 6 intercept possessions, and a contested mark. Things to improve on no doubt BUT the defensive unit conceded 4.7 in the second half of the game. Tmac/Petty helped Lever play his natural game as well.

New game plan suits him too, hopefully the likes of Jeffo/Laurie get some exposure to it before decisions are made on their future

Yesterday i walked home behind a group of Carlton fans and listened to their meltdowns, they were walking slower than I usually do but I didn't want to overtake them cos I was enjoying it.

I've acquired a small step-child who has already been indoctrinated as a Magpie, now it is your turn to give me your thoughts.

Was Jordie, tagged in some Jayden Hunt stories on Insta

My mate messaged me after quarter time and asked where I was sitting, i said "thinking of changing seats... to my couch at home". I stayed to the end and enjoyed seeing the loud Carlton fans near me leaving early after putting up with their nonsense most of the first half. With age comes the understanding that time is our rarest commodity and using it well requires balance. Thoughts with you for your mum and all the best on the upcoming birth of your Manchester United supporting child

its definitely up there with some other recent classic i've attended in recent years, other noticeable ones. Vs Brisbane in 2023 when Milkshake scored a late goal to win the game. vs Carlton in 2022 when Pickett scored a late goal to win the game,

Same leg?

Surprised by this - but glad we're persisting with Trelly for a bit longer. Wonder what Rivers has been told to work on, bit stooged with no Casey game this weekend tho
