Missed the last quarter yesterday and just now watched the full replay. As I already said Roo probably needed to follow one of their key forwards around after halftime. Most of the problem is the same as our AFL side had up until yesterday – they are not giving the handball to players running past. Trying to do it all themselves is inviting pressure, which makes it harder to get it out to players who are now stationary. Thought Verrall broke even in the ruck against one of the bigger bodies in the AFL. Madden did not get many taps to advantage – probably less than Verrall who also missed out on several frees – blatant pushes in the back etc. – as the umpires have no idea on ruck contests.

Key forward is not an easy place to play. After the first half, when he didn’t look like getting near the ball, I would’ve put him on Guruzewski. Just to play back shoulder and have him lead you to the ball a couple of times. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

It’s pretty close. But I think Hawthorn still has that covered – their ridiculous Power Rangers top, and maybe even the Harlequin one as runner-up.

Seems to be the way things are going. Just need to be linked to other sides/go Home factor, be in the middle of contract negotiations, and then have one or two “breakout” games.

I think I hate Hardwick more than the Tigers

Looks like crom and gws just decided to play half a game. It has been a long week.

Sharing is caring ❤️

Absolutely. But if we can score 100+ points regularly, then we can concentrate on shutting the gate as we go forward. Just need to score freely first.

Lucky I kept faith with the Grill’d voucher!

😂😳🤣

Roo gets his first - and we’re back within 8 goals! Late charge coming. These morning games are difficult.

Knick knack Paddy Cross gives the Dees a goal!

But what a point! 😂

I still think the main problem with both teams is they refuse to give a first give handball to somebody running past, and instead run themselves into trouble and dump kick or hand pass to someone’s feet, or the opposition.

Not positive, but I think we were up in inside 50m until that quarter?

I think they might’ve got in early?

I know it’s not the main problem but FFS GWFS are getting some very dodgy free kicks

Ended up a goal but Roo should’ve given the handball to Bill though.

Commentator just used the word Dodgy to describe our full movement. Unfortunately, I cannot disagree.

Unfortunate.George probably shouldn’t have tapped it to him on the goal line?

Code red. Code red. Clear. Anyone at Casey got a defibrillator handy? If they stopped butchering the ball. And worked out which way the wind was blowing. They might be a chance. Maybe it’s a tactic so that GWS will be out on their feet from over running? It’s not like our guys have used all their energy in the first half?

Madness. Verrall is breaking even most of the time – AJ is getting mauled by Madden who is not a pretend giant. He would beat most AFL rucks at CB, but is a bit too slow around the ground. It would be nice for some wingers and midfielders to keep the ball in our Forward line.

Stacks of talent in this game for both sides. Hopefully it’s a good appetiser for this afternoon. I.e I hope we smash them. It will be interesting to see if we can get a connection between the backs and forwards.

With Cream getting the call up, I am a bit worried about where our score is going to come from? 😳

Things could always be worse. I had a dream last night that I was called up to play. I was sitting barefoot on an old couch at a share house with Clary and Trac giving me advice. I need to stop reading Demonland before bed.
