Grundy has enabled us to unleash Gawn's powerful marking all around the ground, powerful combo

Good to hear Salo's progress

Umpires be damned, we will grind this win out. We look hot and exciting and we will bring it to them in the 4th.

Viney has stepped up and we've started clunking marks around the ground. Big 3rd q coming up.

Got a feeling Gawny and koz are about to rip this game to shreds

Disposal is shocking atm, multiple direct turn overs going inside 50.

Max is a champion and professional. If he and the club are okay, I'm okay.

They're also terrible exiting their d50 this year. Need our smalls to make them pay and pressure hard

Good grappling takedowns are designed to avoid impact to the head and to maximize control of the person

Very very early days, but teams have caught up to us and have smartened up to our gameplan. The meta shift from control to fast footy is certainly in response to our and Geelong dominance. We were also lucky in '21 as we in hit top form whilst old contenders died off and new contenders were still building. Regardless, our best is still the best, we have an entire season to hit our straps. Everyone was in hysterics being 10-0 last year but frankly, this is just a more realistic position to be in. Learn our lessons now, keep our cards close, and sky is the limit come September.

He definitely got out worked by Essendon's two ruckmen. I think we need the dual rucks to compete with other teams with dual ruckman, but it shouldn't be an issue with Gawn's close return. He did however drop several marks during the game where he had very clear and clean opportunity to clunk them, that was most frustrating for me.

A fit happy Harmes will be great for our intensity and intent in the coming weeks, interesting week of changes coming up

Sorely missing Lever's involvement but also the ability to keep the team accountable.

Petty finally influencing the game, lots of strong intercepts this quarter

Really Really miss Lever

Beautiful kick from Vines

Brown in the wet is just a bit eek

Unflappable??

I think he's still getting used to the extra running required for the midfield role

Nathan Jones on the wing flashbacks

I think this is it personally, we used Melksham for this role in previous years

Petty is taking the pressure off the other talls and looking to be playing the defensive role against the best intercepter. I think its working well so far and should be persisted with.

First team to 100 always wins
