Screams of Geelong. They would love the age bracket and he’ll find an extra gear down there, just like everyone else does

I think every football supporter has been curious about how good he can be, given the media frenzy. Some of that pack marking for a 19 year old mid was simply superb. i find myself watching Eagles games just to see what he will do - that’s gotta be worth so much to the club

I’ve always been of the belief that Jack Watts would be the icing on the cake for our current side - regardless of what you think of him as a player. Lukosius is of the same ilk and I would be over the moon if he came to us. We are still light on for elite kicking skills, particularly from a tall. He kicked more goals than any of our guys last year, is a couple of centimetres taller than JVR and is 23.

Sam Edmund is saying Jack Lukosius may be gettable, I’d take that over Smith every day of the week

Our forwards would love guessing where his kicks are going, he doesn’t even know

I feel down the track, JUH becomes exactly like Jeremy Cameron. Just does as he pleases and burns opponents at will

I was pretty impressed with him tbh, was in the right spots and some of his work with his hands was very good. I don’t think he was quite ready but part of me wonders if the debut was orchestrated to throw some spark into a clearly tired side. On the game itself, I don’t think I’ve seen us chase tail like that in a long time. We could not get near it all night

The lions came with a clear plan and executed to perfection. It’s refreshing to see coaches can ask for a different method and make it work, even if it was at our expense.

If it was Oliver’s decision to play, he’s cost us badly

I think Clarry will come home with a tailwind, feel like we’ll end with 3 in the top 15

Windsor > Hunter If JB goes out for Hunter, i’d be filthy

I never thought I’d see the day where ANB was unanimously voted BOG

Trac not bad for someone who wasn’t that influential, hey Sam Mitchell.

Agree with everyone else, Tomlinson could not have done much more.

I really like JUH as a player and think he will be a star, just don’t think he’s right for us. We would get more benefit from a bigger body who has a bigger presence with pack marking ala McKay, Larkey, Lewis

Jake Melksham might not necessarily understand loading, so don’t dismiss the theory just yet. Majority of AFL players are not sports scientists, in fact most are far from it.

Given the system we play with, I don’t think many players would choose MFC as a destination currently. The type of players we would benefit from (creativity and flair) don’t fit the preferred method of play.

Grundy was in front of him well before he could legally jump, smart coaching from the Swans

I think it’s even simpler than that, take away Gawn’s marking and the rest of his game falters. He needs to be taking marks for his confidence to follow

I think this is the most glaring example of the club/coach/captain’s stubbornness I’ve ever seen. Grundy rendered Gawn almost useless from the very first bounce and we had absolutely nothing up our sleeve to rectify it.

Games like last night, highlight our lack of ruck/forward backup. Conditions probably suited JVR playing as a follower, in the Grundy mould, rather than Max being nullified all night but then we are robbing Peter, as they say. From those who’ve watched, are we likely to get some relief from Fullarton being in the side?

I think it’s more mental, we absolutely dominated the first 10 minutes and had nothing to show for it. If we don’t put scoreboard pressure on we crumble

My main concerns from last night; Grundy absolutely dominated Max, it was like the first contest threw Max out and he never recovered. Ordinary display from the captain to throw his toys in the fashion he did. Structure at stoppages was non existent. We always load up on one side and the opposition just walk it out the opposite one - it happens every bloody time. We have a bunch of small forwards that have no tricks other than being small. The first few contests of the third quarter (I think) had Blakey on Spargo and Rampe on Chandler - Blakey got them going time and time again. I can’t believe Lever gets so much praise for being so pathetic at defending. He’s a liability 1 on 1 and don’t get me started when he has ball in hand. The club keeps telling us culture is great but the players really seem to believe they are better than everyone, they play as if they should win every game and it’s only a matter of time before it clicks. Completely understand there is opposition doing what they can to disrupt us but our intensity and intent was so far off the boil. Could go on forever but those things were the most frustrating bits of a long list

Gee, Grundy torched Max More worryingly, we can’t even handball to a target 5m away and yet the lizard is taking running bounces all over the ground. This team has an incredible ability to suck the life out of me

Not so sure this type of incident has been a ‘football action’ for many years
