I hope Max is ok. He looks like he is carrying something more than a sore shin. I thought he looked slimmed down, even for him. Im sure like the No. 11 ruck before him, he will play through it. I think my MFCSS slip is showing.

I found his interview with Gary Lyon on Kayo interesting. When asked about resigning or leaving, Tom kept repeating that he is playing much better and continues to have good games and to do his best. Etc.Etc.. Lyon even said there will be a much bigger contract for him to sign and it was awkward, Just my view. I am firmly in the "Keep Chin" camp and it would be no Sophies Choice for me to lose Spaz. We would probably get a late 1st or early 2nd round depending on what S.A. tempts him with.

CJ showed incredible speed at training yesterday. He has some flaws with disposal, but I hope he is in as his burst is exciting and really breaks lines. Russell Richards anyone?

Healy used to as negative about the dees as Tony Shaw. He is much more positive now then he was 10 years ago. Gary Lyon was just as negative and is now more positive than not. It seemed to me having watched it twice, Healy was trying to find points of difference because to my ears he was Barracking strongly.

I used to get dragged if I didnt bend down to pick up the ball. Kicking off the ground this year has become a thing. Mixed results. Kolt and Salem should not be playing soccer. At least Salem makes contact.

I enjoyed the game. Pies showed good skills in the wet. Freo way too strong, (younger?) . I actually think many Freo players are overweight, most obvious is Darcy, then Jackson. Not by normal standards but compared to Magpies and Demons.

I much prefer Goschs to Waverley.
