Strength of schedule plays a major factor. Brissy schedule since rnd 2 has been a bye, Underdone Pies and North. Completely different to a bruising game against port and Adelaide.

Alternatively, we knew Clarry needed the surgery but he also desperately needs the kms in the legs. Same as Petty. Think the aim is building match fitness for both these boys.

I am not sure but you could check by attempting to watch any random game from this year

The afl app has match replays available for every game, usually uploaded a day later

Out of contact next year, i'd rather wait and see if he can pried out then

I would love any of Smith, Jamara, Weightman, or Richard's. Either way I'd love to pick the eyes out of this falling team.

Genuinely confused how any of our forwards should get any criticism this week. We had no connection or semblance of ball movement but we expect Petty to be the difference, makes no sense.

This needs to be the game we start to build our contest work. With no Taranto we have no excuses not to win the midfield battle handily. A good win here can give us some good momentum for a tough stretch of games.

Our wins against port and the crows look great aye

Love how we have worked into this game

Kynan is a diamond in the rough

Kynan so clean

He was, then he dropped a very simple mark

Past the 1st quarter yes, but those d50 stoppage goals at the start of the game was very weak. All of May, Lever and TMAC were playing behind their man and it led to easy goals. Brissy scored 4/4 goals from stoppage in the first quarter, all just outside d50 pretty much.

Not just fatigue related, the defence was quite leaky in the first, Rick says as much here

I liked Lever's post match interview, took full responsibility as the leader. They tooled us from stoppage outside d50 last year, they then replicated the same strategy again. Very disappointing. We were certainly tired but the midfield issues were present against the Power and Crows. We may get belted by Carlton if we cannot fix our clearance game. Frankly, West Coast have been showing good work around stoppages and if we don't pull our pants up they might beat us for inside 50s and clearances too.

Hope we throw the sink at McLuggage or Florent, desperately need extra class in that mid 20s age bracket

If he's doing similar work to JVR it might indicate competitiveness and a good leap, good traits to have coming into his draft year

Our recruiters must again be lauded if we have our two top picks playing regular minutes for the year. Fingers crossed Kolt gets his debut.

Our win v Port looks very good after tonight. We were lucky not to come up against JHF, he is a very important player for them.

Nik Cox is a major spud

Only because we don't have much young mid talent pushing for spots. That's why people wanted Rivers to play in the middle, but with Windsor that voice has died down.

Sick of seeing our own supporters taking shots at Kozzy. Time to back him in. Fingers crossed we make a successful challenge.
