BDA

We got through PSP unscathed while the Lions and Crows lost key players. Great outcome overall and testament to the strong culture and belief our list has in the club and our chances of continued success. We're in great shape. And I reckon flag favourites given how our direct rivals have been depleted.

and at a club that's in contention

Ah. thanks for clarifying

If that's the case, I say pay him what he wants and get this deal done now. No point dragging out the inevitable and encouraging unnecessary, destabilising noise from the likes of Kane Cornes.

BB wasn’t quite on his game but he was still able to draw a number of free kicks. He’ll be better for the outing and will start round 1 and play all the big games. Reckon 15-17 H&A games from him is as much as we should expect. JVR will get his chance this year, no need to push it

The only way we’ll find out if Laurie can make the grade is if we play him. Jordon will play plenty of games for us so I’ve no issue with him sitting this one out for Laurie. And I agree Laurie looks a long way off.

Big tick for the Gawn Grundy axis yesterday. Both marking and kicking goals and Maxy a presence all over the ground. They are a real point of difference for us. What odds both are in the AA team this year? Worth a punt i reckon.

Very enjoyable hit-out. Fluent ball movement and players looking fit and primed. I can’t wait for the season to get underway

Trac has been excellent. Looking primed for a big season

superb banana kick from bowey out of defence to Hunter. Kid is full of confidence and playing well.

Umps like Spargs

Harmes ball use poor today.

That would have been some goal if Clarry could have finished. He's looking sharp.

there's an echo in here today.

Brilliant team goal and nice finish ANB And getting excited about the season ahead.

It'll be a huge bonus if Grundy can mark and kick goals like this during the season. Very good first quarter. Everyone looking reasonably sharp (other than Brown)

Nice mark and finish Grundy We're looking good.

Nice kick TMac. He looks in good shape.

Untidy disposal so far

HArmes should have done better with that disposal. under no pressure

No injuries and further refinement of our forward 50 approach. Would like to see Nankervis cop a belt or 2. He's meted out plenty of punishment to Maxy over the journey so would like to see the ledger evened up a little. Any by legal means of course. I don't want any suspensions.

the mute button is your friend.

I really like it! not

I reckon he stays. Hope I'm right.

no structural damage which is positive so hopefully he'll be back involved before too long.
