Conner O Sullivan is another player that is moving up the draft boards a bit. Do you know much about him @dazzledavey36?

Missed the first quarter. Thought BBB was moving very well in the second but not as well after the break. Might need another week at Casey to get his fitness levels up. Thought Jefferson looks to have put on a bit of muscle in his legs. Upper body not so much.

Well that quarter was muck. Almost as bad as last quarter last night.

Finally worked out how to stream from the app to my tv. 👏

Yeah I said this exact thing to my partner while Cameron was getting treated on the pitch.

Spargo didn’t do great as the sub either but I was honestly happy to see him coming on. Normally uses the footy well and is clean even in wet conditions. Not traits that you would associate with Harmes who others feel should have been the sub.

With hindsight dropping Tommo for Petty didn’t have the impact Goody must have thought it would have. But Pettys role would have changed as soon as Cameron went off. Goody clearly thought he was better suited to run with Cameron than Tommo. Whether that due to being more agile in the wet conditions or what I don’t know. Petty didn’t have a great game but he wasn’t doing the role he was selected for.

We just had no legs in the last quarter. We were the better team before then by a fair way but didn’t put it on the score board. Our goal kicking is a massive problem at the minute there’s no doubt about that. We really need to get back to our early season kicking form to have a right crack at the flag.

JJ didn’t do his cause any favours last night. Not the final nail in his coffin but I can’t see him being with us next year now.

Oliver out for another week gives Trac a great chance to pick up 3 more Brownlow votes. He has been in beast mode of late.

Tommo out is a surprise but I’ve got a feeling that by the time the final siren goes tmw night it will make a lot more sense to us all. Very unlike us to drop somebody who’s playing well so can’t see us doing it without good reason.

It’s certainly going to be a very interesting draft. Gold Coast will almost certainly trade out their first pick(currently pick 8) and I agree that West coast will look at splitting pick one. Given there seems to be a lot of talent in the first round I wouldn’t be surprised if both North and Hawks would be open to splitting theirs. I’d love to see us trading our own first and Freo’s second round for the Suns first pick and have two top 10 picks this year. Although it may pay for us to split Freo’s second pick before we deal with Suns.

Oh this is beautiful. Cmon Giant foot to the throat

GWS are favs on the betting for todays game. $1.68 and shortening. Wonder if Freo have some late outs?!

By drafting Tasmanian talent in this draft? Meets our needs and if they jump to the Tassie team when it sets up then we should be very well compensated with draft picks in a draft where good picks are hard to come by.

I agree. We don’t need to rush him back. He was playing well in the game he was injured in but his form leading up to that wasn’t great. Let him get fitness and form for a week or two at Casey. Smith has to get another game after his performance.

Oliver has to come straight back in and I think Bowey also comes straight back in. Not just because he was in season best form last week but also because how important Salems role was this week, I wouldn’t be surprised if Geelong put some time into Salem when we play them. Bowey is probably the next best kick coming out of defence and maybe needed to take on some of the quarterback duties. Haven’t put any thought into who may be dropped yet.

Anybody know where I can watch Goodys post game presser?

Few things- one did anybody else spot the cheeky smirk from JVR before his set shot. After a heap of set shot misses I knew he wasn’t going to miss when I saw that. Also how sickening was BT,s barracking for the filth

Salem borderline elite, Bowey and McVee aren’t elite. You’re having a laugh surely? Come on now

Been Bush for a few days. Seems I’ve missed a lot. Clarry is definitely out? some Pies may be out with illness?! Has that been confirmed?

I wonder what we are doing training/ loading wise leading up to this game given we don’t really have a bye but one game sandwiched by two ten day breaks. Would love us to be cherry ripe for the Pies game but we may be looking at priming ourselves for run home and finals.

I’m really hoping we can win the next quarter and then have the game won heading into the last where we can hopefully play a few players into form.

Having Kosi at 171cm and Spargo at 173cm, Chin at 174cm might prove that smaller players can make it. But I think it shows we are already well stocked for small forwards. Think we need to use our top pick in another position.

I’m on ferry and will soon be out of signal. Any chance of a decision soon???
