Ollie fan

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?

I must have missed something. What is the issue with Langdon?

I agree.

The MCG attitude to policing seats is completely hopeless - disgraceful, actually. There were periods last year where there was no checking at all in respect of Trident reserved seating. Let's hope this year the MCG lifts its game!

Nothing new about that. Terrible website.

It certainly looks like he has the ability. It will be whether he has the desire and determination. 🤞🤞

I think that's exactly right, and is what we have now done. Let's hope he is AFL ready.

CF, you can't retrieve your position. Don't try. He got you fair and square with your own words.
