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

This is gonna be a slaughter

Chandler met with Adelaide a couple years ago, regardless he has remained a loyal hardworker.

Jefferson and JVR will be a great duo in years to come. JVR is the perfect crunching forward like McKay and Hawkins. While Jefferson will replace Brown as our lanky lead up forward.

Kozzy in Hibberd out, with Gus to play extra minutes at half back. I hope we stick with the current forward mix, nothing to lose by experimenting next week imo.

6 disposals from Spargo resulted in 2 goals, 1 goal assist, 3 score involvements. Every touch led to a score.

6 Oliver 5 Petracca 4 Grundy 3 Rivers 2 Hunter 1 Langdon

Rivers is having a great game

Tactical sub, should be alright

Match day thread hysterics are ridiculous
