They are a seriously frustrating team. And that’s up against some pretty strong opposition (at being soft - NOT calling bombres strong opposition, just to make that absolutely crystal clear) Their supporters must be stabbing themselves in the eyes.

Crows, bombres - you can’t trust either of them. Absolutely no defending. Just wanted the bombres to lose, but those boys in yellow have other ideas. And so do the Crows by the looks of it.

They’re just joining in the bombre [censored] the bed fest. I’m going to watch that 2nd qtr again.

Wouldn’t mind seeing Woey, McAdam, or even Howes and Adams have a run through the midfield. Sometimes players need something out of the box to refresh them a bit. We could sorely use some size in the centre.

This reminds me about ships not taking in ballast water in Adelaide? (I think they have since lowered their standards) I was looking into going to Europe by boat - of course that was pre-Covid - so that’s another option. Probably get to meet real pirates as well!

Gave him the 6. People that can run like that when they’re not being shot at totally amaze me. (gave Judd the 5✋)

Almost guarantee that Carl/Coll/Ess/…someone has one in the pipeline.

No one said anything about this - other than the commentators, who basically accused him of cheating. Not a screamer, but the Argentinians might have called it “hand of god”. But they can get a bit carried away. Think he definitely had most of it.

It was obviously the weather. 22° with a light breeze. The players just weren’t prepared for that. We need WA to give us some really [censored] weather. Deluges, thunderstorms, maybe not hail? Obviously not while the plane is in the air.

It’s not Fullarton's fault - he is being played out of position. As others have said, he is predominantly a forward that can ruck a bit if there is nobody else and you’re really desperate. It seems like the FD wants to make him a number one ruck. Everyone was raving about his 20 possessions on the weekend but I didn’t think he was going that well. So I started watching the first half again. It is not pretty. Q1 Fullarton Rucking 0:00-approx 18:30, then approx 24:00-31:47 8 possessions - 3 direct turnovers, 4 to ground, 1 behind (from a Verrall ground/hard ball get and lh handball) 0 hitouts WV 3 hitouts from 6 attendances 4:40 Crashes into Verrall in front of the goals with Bryan instead of protecting him!! Q2 0:00-20:25 Fullarton in ruck 4:45 mark in front of goal behind forwards 9:15 First hitout 11:00 receives questionable free 15:00 another free for in the back Kicks to BBB who marks - first disposal to advantage! (13th??!!) Total of 13 possessions 2 hitouts for Fullarton in the first half. 1 possession to advantage/retained. 20:25-30:25 Verrall off bench and in ruck 20:30 Schache behind his player who body spoils marking attempt by WV - May or Lever would be going off their nut. Verrall 5/7 hitouts/attendances Not sure if I can watch the second half. FD is taking the [censored].

Lingers Knuckles Riv Kozzie JVR Leb Another great all round effort.

Only saw the first quarter last week - Verrall seemed to be getting a lot of the ball, but must have dropped off afterwards. Just looked up the stats and he had 28 hitouts to Fort’s 23, and Farris-White had 11 to Smith’s 21. Looks like we got smashed by the Bris onballers. Think I heard Bill only had a half, but since the injuries earlier this year we are seriously missing big bodied VFL onballers. The dozens of forwards we have just can’t get any supply! 😳

He is playing 95% Ruck for the past few weeks as his form is good and the FD needed to make sure that he could do the ruck role. We already know that he can play as a forward - I think he kicked 40+ goals for Brisbane in the VFL last year. We have SO MANY forwards. Jeffo, Sesto, BBB, Schache, Fullarton, Verrall, Kentfield, McAdam. with most of these being key/tall forwards. This is not even counting, some of the small forwards, such as Billings, Spargo, Tholstrup, and the incumbents in the AFL side. Meanwhile, Verrall, who has shown he can ruck against AFL level opposition (Fort, Campbell, Naismith, Ryan, Meek…) is getting 5-8 mins a quarter on ball. I wouldn’t be surprised to see another team (Crows? Port? Pies?) offer him a deal.

He would have delivered more as a half forward. Most of his possessions were from being a loose player - the opposition was also loose. Contested marks anyone? No point in having someone in the centre that avoids body contact and dump kicks it.

Fullartons ruck contest is frankly disgusting. 95% ruck time for 3 hitouts and little presence. Might as well play Laurie in ruck.

Just confirms the lack of journalistic talent in media today. They obviously don’t know the players or even seen them play. Probably written by AI. Interesting that they did acknowledge on the TV after the game that the Dees had 9 players aged 23 and younger. Against only 7 in the bombers side. However, it looks like we actually had 11!!

“Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.”

I don’t mind putting the queue in the rack late in games, as long as you pick up a fricking baseball bat and brain the opposition. Almost needed some of ET’s medication.

Did number 22 give them their three-quarter time rev up?

Can’t see Max getting back in 😆

I’m getting emotional 🥲

OMG!! MELKY!!! Again!!!

You got it. 👍

You ARE on the strong stuff

Might help him to have clean hands?
