Schache didn't waste the few opportunities we had in front of goal. I thought our midfield was very bad, it looked as if every clearance went Footscray way.

This is very hard to watch 😓

Not sure we can cover our best goal kicking player, unless BBB goes back to his best

Well that would be underwhelming, surely it could have more than last year's R1 (it was a Wednesday night).

How much will the Grundy - Gawn dominance impact today's game? Will it translate to territory dominance, ergo few fwd 50 entries for the dogs?

How many expected today at the G'? Hoping we get close to 70k 🤞🏻

I am feeling filthy but.... How good to see Jeelong implode!!! Reminds me of R23 2021 😂😂😂

Disco Turner and Petty to carry out defence for years to come 😉

Surely it can't be stats based, no way you get a 6.0 for Petty.

Will Ben King be available in the near future?

Petty underrated AF, can't get any love from the media experts...🤷🏻‍♂️

I meant consistency in his kicking nothing else. As said before, elite player.

I am talking about his kicking only, re previous post. I am being persecuted for thinking he can improve his kicking 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

Don't get me wrong I love Clarry as much as the next guy, however his kicking can be off sometimes and it is not as damaging as Petracca's ( IMO ). Still an elite player and deserves a Brownlow medal.

Not an awful kick, I think at least above average. However he lacks consistency, if he can fix that he'll be a very damaging player for the opposition.

What's our 'pass mark' for the first 5 rounds of the season? I think 4 - 1 would be great but maybe 3 - 2 is not too bad considering the fixture?

Did he play alongside Farmer at all? I can imagine how great a fwd line of Lyon, Farmer and Jakovich would be! and then throw in Neitz.

What happened to Jankovich? He was so good but out of footy so fast... Injury prone?

He is very passionate about NBA, you'll see him tweeting most days about his beloved Lakers.

But they will be scarred from last year GF. And they typically start slow.

The most likely one is the Brisbane game, we play them at the Gabba.

Two questions from me boys: 1. Is it better to use Grundy more in the FWD 50 while Max goes more to support our backline? I feel Grundy is a better goal Kicker than Max. 2. Who is the most underrated player in our list? I feel Fritsch gets almost no love around the league, he's easily a top 8 forward. Go Dees!!!!!

I expect him to debut in the AA squad this year!

Apparently Fritsch isn't playing today again? Should we be worries about him for R1? He is easily our 3rd or 4th most important player (50+ goals the last 2 seasons).

Sorry I was trying to support your statement about the "happiness" element on this. As said before, they are professional AFL players, don't want to live interstate then don't becomes an AFL player. I guess they also have the academy route if they wish to remain in the same city?
