I still think we are dead for this year but I am loving the improvement we are showing and how good is winning. I think Goodwin and his coaching team need to be acknowledged for turning this around. It certainly helps when your best players are playing well. Bring on the Saints.

It’s so frustrating watching a team do so much right but not capitalise on its opportunities. Hopefully we can convert better in the second half.

It will be interesting to see if we kick better for goal with windy conditions. Could Rivers get a role on Heeney? It would be lovely to see us do something similar to what the Timberwolves are doing to OKC right now.

LJ is a very good player.

Don’t see many bumps like that one anymore.

Jeff Farmer has done a good job on the Dockers jumper.

The Brisbane jumper is hard on the eyes.

I dislike all of them including my sister.

This match would be better suited to the 1.10 on a Saturday time slot.

Yes. Esssendon last please.

I agree with some of what you said and disagree with some of it. I think all three in Lever, May and McDonald are on the fringe of selection in certain circumstances. And on current circumstances I would have left Lever out. McDonald has been one of our best this year, May is battling but wasn’t too bad last week in a team that beat one of the best on their own deck. Lever has missed a lot of footy and is generally slower to move the footy on than the other two and is not as good in one on one situations as the other two. But that’s just my opinion. I agree about the changing of the guard and I think managing that transition is one of our biggest concerns. I hope both Adam’s and Kentfield smash the door down and get a go this year.

Anyone under an injury cloud to be a late out? Truly bizarre selection imho. I personally would have given Lever another week at Casey, I also would have dropped May before McDonald.

I tipped Geelong but I will be happy if the Dogs get up. The umpiring has been dreadful as it is way too often, but the AFL will just bury their heads.

Strong field to pick a winner from.

Shocking turnover by Harmes.

Long way to go yet.

The AFL are happy to force Tasmania to spend a billion odd dollars to build a new stadium. I wish they had of done that for Geelong, it’s a shocking stadium.

It’s quite bizarre that Geelong have red on their jumper against the Dogs.

How far did West just run?

No way Turner gets dropped.

Curious what match ups Lever, May and McDonald have this week? I wouldn’t be bringing Lever in this week.

Disco seems to be one of our better kicks in general.

I watched a bit of that game at one point the pressure ratings for both teams was off the charts.

Further signs of improvement today, still lots to work on but we are definitely going in the right direction. Swans and Saints in the next couple of weeks both absolutely winnable. Hope we gain a lot of self belief after today and hopefully we can improve our goal kicking with some confidence. I am looking forward to seeing if we can do it.

His clean hands on a ground ball get in that last quarter were huge. He looks like a player that is full of confidence, it’s good to watch.
