Windsor is a gun!!!!!!!

Just… they have their beat midfield out and we’re down by 7. We should be up by 4-5 goals. The amount of times I’ve read ‘we should be up by X goals’ the past few years is really wearing thin

I have posts from 2022 and 2023 pointing this out multiple times. Yes there’s ignored leads but Jesus, Goodwin has had years to figure this out and thus far, opening rd 2024, here we are again!!! How??????

Is he wrong though? I am astonished these comments are being made at AFL level at all, let alone for us when our whole issue is F50 connection

How are we still having no F50 movement????????

How is a commentator saying ‘there is no movement in the F50 for Melbourne’ and then laughing?????????? That is a comment I’d expect from an under 12’s game

A bulldogs mate of mine said that Schache can’t create a win, it needs to be given to him by others and that was a frustration with him as a player. Hope he’s wrong.

I don’t see what he adds? And Billings at least finds the ball

Swans just executing their game plan and skills better. They look like they have more time

Really is as simple as that

Just the same as always, not taking opportunities

That’s the papliest goal there is

73-54 % kicking efficiency to Sydney, golly

Petracca being tackled, tries to kick it, misses completely…. Play on 🤷‍♂️

Windsor is a player

It’s already been said a lot, but can we please just win so we don’t need to hear endlessssssssly about off field issues? It’s most of all just boring

It’s opening round and there are ALWAYS weird results.

Going to be very interested to see how Schache goes. He’s got a good opportunity here to make him difficult to drop if he can make himself a target a get a couple of goals. I’d like to see him play with enough presence where a defender has to be thinking ‘where is Schache’ and not just be able to run off him at will to other contests.

Bring on the Swans! Bloody excited for footy to be back Also really looking forward to see what Billings can do. Always seemed like he had more potential in him than what he had previously done for the saints so I hope he can fulfil it for us.

Papley can have an all Australian small defender on him every game and he’ll still do what he does every second weeks. Loves being under fire, loves being roughed up, loves being doubted and especially loves being a focal point. Take care of the rest of the ground and Papley can’t do anything.

[censored] you’re right. I didn’t even think about the fortune or the fame. Now this is serious.

Man, dunno what’s happened on this site over summer but holy [censored]…. Feels like a funeral in here. Remember this is a ball game yeah? Supposed to be fun?

Remaining hopeful is all you can do when you have little to zero control over a turbulent situation. Watching the boys over the last couple of seasons, it doesn’t feel like there was the joy of playing like there was in the Premiership year? I could be totally wrong but there was also a tension there. I can’t explain it, just a feeling I have. I have a singular hope and that’s the coaching staff reminding the players to have fun on game day. Take a bit of the pressure out of everything and first and foremost go out there and enjoy it. Any task is harder if it’s sucked of all joy. Especially playing sport. Everything else will flow from that. Hopefully. Go dees.

Anybody know what the thread at the start of the year where we predicted who’d win the premiership is named? Want to have a peek but can’t find it

Kozzie and Goodwin, could look at Rioli last night and give that as a role for Kozzie to emulate. He didn’t try and play like a millionaire, instead worked hard and found space for himself across the ground to hurt GWS. He was effective and hard at the ball by getting himself involved in the play. Rioli kept Port in that game for 2 1/2 quarters. I think Kozzie could do with trying less flashy things that look great and more concentrating on running hard into dangerous spaces across the front half of the ground. The more he gets the ball the more dangerous he will be IMO.
