But the really interesting thing will be how King/Gawn plan to address this in game in future, having seen the strategy work effectively.. And what role rest of team has. and the conclusion is that if the lowly bomber can succeed - why can't other teams.

good summary. How can you explain the bombers kicked 12 goals to 1 after 20 minute mark of second 1/4.? Can't. The loss was an ' in your head' thing, not talent or gameplan. Genius required to figure this result out. But we now know the team is improving but some big issues still to be addressed.

Wind on BOM Wind map show sth .westerlies at under 30k/hr. Probably at least 20 to 30 for the game though Rain radar show clear first 1/4. Probbaly rare showers only after then.

I like your style. And if your potential first 1/4 scenario comes true it will be season on for sure

Most important game for the dees in 3 years. We've started the year well but previously we would drop this game signifying flakiness which opposition pick up on. Win on Saturday and it does herald a new way and mindset.

Good call. Club was naive saying let's keep this a private zoom hook up. Of course a participant couldn't help themselves and it was leaked accordingly. Good intentions. Poorly thought through.

Once again we killed the clock with 2 minutes to go beautifully. Nice coaching Kingy.

Many thanks for a terrific insight. My view of Steele is what would we do without him. Improves us bigtime and gives the young midfield brigade a sorely needed mentor we have lacked since 2023.

You could see the rustyiness of the team due to being first hit out - but resliance and perservence got them through. Character building by King and coaches.

Whately castigised the big spend this morning pointing out in 8 years TDK has shown nothing about being a top flight ruckman, as shown by big Max yesterday, yet saints spenr big on him. Aprt from that an absolute huge tick to the Dees from him.

We killed the clock with sublime play. Usually we panicked and turnovers ensued. Despite everything King s aiming for this one stood out. Well done coach. We may very well be in good hands at last And entertaining? You bet it was

What about when sparrow hit up big Ben and sealed the outcome?

Smart advice. Or what about town gll They're excellent too. Get off at town hall. Quick tram or walk to ground. Change is tricky for some though. I need to change at sth cross from tarneit line. No worries and go dees

It was worth our contribution to get clarry out of the club. Just business and a good deal. Watch the upside we get today with our new look younger kids who can kick. Alongside goat ruckman of course

Thanks. His game time was 55% hence I was wondering.

Is Oscar baker injured. Just saw stat's and he started well but low game time?

Well said. Re Clarrys impact . Across career he would rack up 15 plus handballs but I could never see their overall impact compared to say n. Caicos who makes every possession have a subsequent benefit. Usually. Gws may suit him better given they had better outside runners than us then. I think we look a lot different now and will be a fascinating game Sunday

and the GF and Rd 1 2022 games had almost identical stats. No way was yesterday his highest rated outing. Makes a good headline though.

I saw numbers that had it his 5th best rated game ever. On Ch 7 I think The 21 GF game was his 3rd best. And apparently Round 1 of 2022 was his best by a long way. God luck to Trac but I can't wait to watch the new young line-up next Sunday live.

Worse at GWS game. 16,000 attended at a 24,000capacity ground. 2/3 full. No wonder AFL see the northern states as an issue. Opening northern round here to stay sadly.

He wanted out of Melbourne/Victoria for non footy reasons

Brayshaw trumpeted sold out last night. Stadium capacity is 25000. So it was 80% full at 19500. Trump didn't invented fake news. The AFL did. And most had left by end of the game. Best wishes to Trac but welcome to the big time QLD style.

Love it. No lions at the gabba, no cats at Kardinia Park, Pies once, one trip to perth, cats once. Some trcicky games for cats at home, eg Lions. Upside (or downside depending on your view) more watching ABC tele and netflix/SBS in prime time as I refuse to watch Pies, Blues and bombers and they have the market share. Reasonable number on Ch7 as I don't kave Kayo. (and never will)

Very similar kicking style to clarry. Up and under to no one in particular. My hawks mates lost no sleep in worpel leaving.

Spot on. As a pure business dealings the club believes the benefits of np clarry in the locker was worth more than what we are paying. You don't make a decision like that without a profound case Moneys too hard to come by. Best wishes to clarry and hope he gets the management he needs in Sydney. Good job mfc in making a tough call
