Game is turning and we are dropping - making basic mistakes.

We are competitive that’s the main thing. Sparrow started like a player possesed. Trac looks good given his injury. Our ball movement is improving. AJ looks like a competitor. Still want to see a bit more from Oliver, Windsor, Rivers, Fritta and Lingers - they weren’t terrible but not impacting the game as they usually would. early days still.

Forward line non existent

I seriously thought I was done with the footy nerves. Its a praccy match and im hyperventilating. Gonna be a long year.

Been watching H. Reid against Norf. Really not invested in the game. Just jogging from contest to contest. Not working hard at all. The kid has so much talent but wonder if he has the work ethic.

Take either of those over an acl or Achilles.

I like the current one most. It has a touch of class , which is aligned with our supporter base 😉.

It very much suits their game plan. It will be a fascinating watch tactically nevertheless.

They are not looking good at the moment. Teams have already worked em out and the season hasn’t even started.

N Daicos after half a pre season still a jet.

I think it’s

So crazy I thought the exact same thing. Looks to be a sensible kid and interviewed very well for a first timer.

Geez Nate Caddy is a solid forward. He would have worked so well with JVR.

At least these games have a bit of more intensity than last weeks training drill.

We must have sold the figurative soul to the devil to make the AFL do this. Luckily we are Demons so nothing really lost there.

Stability. Good move. I hope both of them get some proper support this year and the leadership group (presumably still to be decided) are a little more prominent.

Definitely a hard nut. Has the tank and work ethic. For me questions marks on ball use and footy IQ. With Salem, McVee, Windsor, Bowey, Howes and Rivers part time, i think we have the depth to cover.

I'm keen to join.

Just pull the trigger this year FFS. Enough season ending injuries in the past 7 days across the whole comp.

Ball movement was better. Looks like we have been training the go fast and go slow modes. Kozzy Riv Oliver Billing’s Langford all look to be on the same page. I thought our forward line looked much more Open than what I was used to. Given how much we were missing it’s going to be hard to take much away from this encounter.

I don’t know why they didn’t go with AJ in place of Jeffo. He does provide that 2nd ruck option to chop out Gawn. I don’t know if that’s the plan with Campbell. Bill already has his ticket punched and Jeffo looking to be that way as well unfortunately for the both of them. I did however think Chandler worked really hard playing in that role. Often goes unnoticed as it’s a forward defensive role.

AMW looks like the dreaded knee. Fingers crossed. Geez I hope we don’t become the ‘injury ridden team’ this year.

How on earth is that not a free. [censored]

We started pretty portly but I think the last 2 quarters was pretty solid to show off new gameplan. I like the ball movement. I like how Oliver is becoming a link up player and how players are running off half back. Our forward line looks much better when it’s not flooded JVR and Jeffo look like they can be a good 1-2 punch. Turner seems to be playing the high forward role too. Some solid recruiting in Sharp, Langford and Campbell.

Kozzy !!!
