One good game doesn’t make a lock

I said when we got Jack Steele that he would turn a 10 goal loss into an 8 goal loss… He was great.

Good note

He is a mid-fwd that will be targeted by Darcy to be cut in half. Petty did great.

I would only have first ballot NFL Hall of Famers as Dees fans tbh That’s a niche joke but a good niche joke

Quiet, but we will tell James Hird… There’s no need to speculate with disgraced former Matty Whelan bump recipients; the first 6 weeks will tell the FD where it is at. 1-0 heading into Freo (A), Carl, GC, Ess (N), Rich Be 4-2 or better and talk to random so-so commentators about quiet confidence

It’s round one… he is months away.

Even before Rd 1 - many of us were trying to explain that if we don’t keep up high intensity in our ability to run off the HB with the ball in hand - and we get timid and inert - we are going to get flogged. 7 goals in 15 mins type stuff. The reason why it’s about what we do when we get the ball is because the best defence is an offence that can move the ball away from vulnerable areas quickly. So I think that fans already calling for Lever to be dropped and CJ to be shipped back to Dingley should temper their nonsense while this group gets used to playing like this regularly for 120 minutes.

If your post starts with “my hawks mate reckons” - the you log off, go outside and hit yourself upside your head. Honestly, what did YOU watch. Have your opinion based on some reality and don’t be lead around the living room by a hawk supporting “mate” holding your Richard III.

I remember that goal and 3 mins earlier JVR didn’t engage his opponent and he went over and spoiled Mihocek. I hope the vision is showed to JVR. It’s the only thing holding him back now, he is injury free, fit, and in a game style that suits him. He now has to be a part of a forward structure that works for each other.

Absolutely. But if the ‘sense’ is keeping the opposition to 65 points - our gameplan of bombing to the pockets is true to that. I just meant ‘the handball over the shoulder to get someone into space’ was nonsense at times but players must love it.

It was too loud for my 5 year old from Canberra. That’s fine. But can they play people’s songs right after their goal? They have a short bell or explosion before the song and it takes the sting out of the… sting. Imagine Latrelle kicking THAT goal straight into “oops I did it again”… SCENES

He looks very fit and uses that as a weapon to exploit the space in front of him. Two things have helped him; the game style is quick and allows for JVR to take out in front without the need to engage his opposition. The second thing is Mihocek; he has come in and moves into the right spots and agitates defenders and engages them to allow for JVR to have space to follow into and/or to avoid having to have players peel off into the contest. The next step for JVR is to build his awareness of when HE should engage his opponent to return the favour as that will be when we have a dangerous and effective forward line with talls that work for each other and are hard to close down.
