Oops - I hadn't realised the point was paid as a free

I would have wanted that "point" call reviewed, and how did Cripps get away with a one- handed throw that went 10m

All very good points

I hate Windsor at HB. I would try putting Lindsay there - his movement reminded me of Judd McVee and wouldn't that be nice!! To have two of them! But HB is a real problem for us at the moment because we only have Salem and Bowser as available established HBFs. Sestan may be worth a try... Or put Rivers back there.

This post answers a lot of the criticism of Fritta in earlier posts. He has been a deep forward, and yes, not only a deep forwards being covered better, but other teams are well aware of his capacity. Which is why he has been less effective over recent years, but it is not to blame him.

My recollection – this was not shown on the replay – is that there was quite a huddle of our midfield group, outside the centre Square, taking an unusually long time to discuss tactics. I suspect the speculation about the audible is correct.

AJ is a real trier and I love that.

Agree re Fritta. He looks a bit lost playing up the ground. And now that we have 2-3 talls who contest strongly, and will take the key defenders, he would be in his element close to goal.

You don't need to tell us. Just don't read them.

That kick for goal that was touched on the line? Sparrow would have made the distance.

You can bet it won't be…

Well, what a surprise. The 15m kick rule is measured completely differently between Geelong and Freo.

You have nooooo idea. Footy - and bums on seats - is about WINNING. The key to winning is DEFENCE, as anyone who knows anything will say. I was happy to go and watch defensive football and then sing the song at the end - which we did far more often than not.

And Robbie's unbelievable snatch/blind turn/goal v Collingwood.

Hassa Mann v Hawthorn 1964

Great watch and great choice for the last one. For Volume 2, I hope there is the Leoncelli matchwinner in Adelaide.

Max doesn't need coaching - he could teach Russian quite a few things. But he should be an excellent coach for Verralls, AJ, Campbell and the part-timers: TMac, Petty, Roo.

PS and in this context, it would have been great to keep BBB as a goalkicking coach.

You said in another post somewhere - I can't remember where it was - that they practise in an unstructured manner and a lot of it is practising difficult shots. They really need structured practice of shots from "easy" positions. Yesterday I estimate (without counting) that missed shots from within 40m and on only a slight angle cost us about 6 goals - I'm thinking of misses by Fritta, Billings and AJ. We don't need to get the hard ones; we need to get the easy ones.

Yes, both with the women and also as goalkicking coach...

I thought he was working with us!!!???

Selection was one or two talls light. What was the problem with Petty? We needed a true swingman very badly today. Lever is not and never will be any good as a"tall defender". He is a brilliant interceptor but no good one on one; we needed at least one more good tall defender - why wasn't TMac in the team.? And forward: when JVR went down, we were totally exposed for lack of height. I thought AJ did very well but we needed another tall in attack as well. Campbell should have been selected. In the other hand, Adams did some ok things but was also beaten; Windsor was great with his disposal but a defender needs to be able to defend and I'm not sure that he is ready for that. And how did Walters regularly get so free? Was that down to Bowey? But absolutely great to see Clarry and Trac in top form. And in the third quarter the value of it was on show.

Well, no doubt about it. Clarry and Trac are back!

Hate the chipping around. When other teams do it to us I love it because it means they don't know what to do. And that's how it is going with us. And every kick is another opportunity for the other team to intercept in their forward line FFS.

Only seen a few bits - where is Johnson?
