Yep. Still annoyed I had to downsize the studio… You are right in that there is so much that I had recorded that is simply not available anywhere anymore.

TDK sounds amazing, cough cough, so I’ve heard… actually, I think the ad went, “TDK does amazing things to my system.”

There you go! Just happened again with Newcombe but he was called back.

You’re right. So I think that means that we will just play it like it is for the next 10 years It seems to be that you have to stop, in order for the ump to say, “play on”.

I was trying to work out how Carlton was ahead. I thought there might be something that we could employ against the Hawks. But if we are relying on free kicks in front of goals, well then, we’re [censored]-ed.

They’re paying every 5th throw, 3rd trip, and 4th high tackle. It is making it hard to keep up.

But, it seems, not all the time. Which is one of the lovely reasons why we love this game????

Neither channel is appealing. The radio is not much better. I accidentally hit the mute switch on the remote – and I’ve never been happier!!

Has anyone else noticed that the Advantage rule has changed interpretation? it seems that simply all the players stopping and requesting clarity on the free is no longer a problem. As long as one of the team wants to take the advantage. 5–10 Seconds later, “Play on”, No problem.

Drove me crazy by coming off his man and watching them take/drop marks while he crumbs at the front - 3 + times 🤯 And he didn’t even get the crumbs

Thought he looked really good - even in the centre square

Yeah, he played well against the Lions. Overall we played well and were very unlucky to lose from the ball out the back in the last quarter.

I’m with you there. Hopefully that becomes a thing when some of these young fast midfielders add their speed to the old heads already there.

I haven’t analysed the game in detail, but it seemed that we were keen on not letting Callahan and the other GWS Mids get free and run riot through the middle. Worked for 3/4 quarters. Should be interesting next time.

Or May might come back in, and TMac goes forward/ruck?

I just don’t think that the GWS back line had it all their own way. Especially considering their domination the previous week. I think that our forwards competed quite well. When you throw in a few extra crumbers over the next few weeks - Kozzy, Spargs or Melky - and I think we can be positive about this season.

It was a great first game out apart from the result. Useful lesson in trying some new players that stepped up. Looking forward to getting a couple of medium sized forwards back in the near future. Should be a successful year for us. Also, the much vaunted marking of the GWS backline was not able to take many marks either

Didn’t seem to bother Brown that much.

Nah I was impressed with both of their tackling and pressure.

Tried some passes into the forward line for most of the game- Except when it should have been done in the last minutes. It gave them the ball x2. Good signs though.

They all count, thank God.🤣

Brutal work by Leb!!

He was only missing Academy – a – ward

Umps are so rusty you’d swear their head is in a puddle of salt water

Deliberate ????!! FO
