He was a gun who had a massive personal crisis hit him as soon as he got to the club. It's pretty unlucky.

His skills let him down.

They got unlucky with Hogan

I reckon Jackson coming back is still a big watch. His press conference was done just to shut down the noise. He was told to say the right thing so they could focus on the season.

Reminiscent of 2022 where we would switch on for a quarter to win and cruise for the rest of the game. Not going to hack it against good sides.

Really disappointed with how we closed out that game and our last quarters remain a massive problem. Should be able to pile on the pain against a fledgling Richmond side. We visibly put the cue in the rack. Had no right to do that after our first five weeks.

Simply not an AFL standard player.

The marks inside 50 has been the biggest positive for mine.

Casey been dominant all game and getting some reward for their efforts since quarter time. The handball game is well and truly on. Been better in the third quarter at trying to hit up targets in the forwardline.

JVR would be back next week you would expect.

Breeze making it hard to get much of a read on things.

Same as Father/Son I think.

Yeah, nah. The Captain or Vice Captain addressing the players after a game is not a story at all. I doubt someone would even think to 'leak' something like that it's such a non-event. Petracca giving a speech was only a little story because of everything that happened last year. If you're trying to catch a rat, you need better bait.

Ain't no one caring about Gawn or Viney making a post game speech.

Who does it help to deny this? It obviously didn't happen as reported. Morris had a bad source and didn't follow up with anyone from the club.

It's a weird one though. I'm sure Goodwin will be asked about it on 360 as well tonight.

Salem saying on radio this morning that this didn't happen...

I guess he can still ply his trade by playing VFL.

Is that likely to be resolved by Thursday night?

As I said in my earlier post we still need to improve a lot in that area. 7 marks inside 50 on the weekend is very poor. We were better, yes, but you can't expect to consistently kick a decent score without generating set shots.

Fair enough but it's the other stats I'm worried about. Geelong kick a goal almost a third of the time they enter their forward 50. GWS almost a quarter of the time. We are at 18.8%.

Not sure what you're trying to say here but we're 13th for inside 50s 14th for shots at goal, dead last for Goal efficiency and marks inside 50...

Riewoldt feels like a classic jobs for the boys appointment.

I thought it was more to do with the language spoken by the parents more than what country they're from. Arbitrary but there you go.
