Wayne Bennett suspended from coaching Souths this weekend against his old mob the Broncos after breaching covid protocols. ( eating in a restaurant with wife). I'm still unsure how Bucks was able to coach last round.

He looks sore D17. He cannot chase and was almost a liability last night. Don't get me wrong, I love him and yes he's one of our best kicks but the way he was running last night I can't see him playing this Sunday.

Out: ANB suspended, Bennell ineffective In: Pickett, Hannan AVB if injured , bring in TMac

First half was nerve wracking but loved the way they the buried them into the ground in the last. Intensity seemed to improve. May and Viney were awesome in the first half. Great to see Gus get involved in the 2nd half. 3 votes Clarry what a game.

This could be the slowest team we've ever fielded. We are screaming out for some pace all over the ground.

I'm really surprised Jones gets another gig. No idea what value he is adding right now.

Thank phark this bloke is back in tomorrow night. It's no coincidence that we play better football when he is in the team, it's happened on multiple occasions now. Not blessed with skill but raises the bar for the whole team with his attack on the opponent. Love him!

And here's the stat to back up your statement above.... Brisbane 22 scoring shots from 37 i50 entries. (60%...must be close to a record) Essendon 16 from 42. I think they've copied our game plan!

Should have been awarded to Mays post match interview. Or Jacksons haircut.

Sad to see. He's not breaking, he's broken. He looked distant and disinterested at times last night. He is a shell of the player he was and it's an indictment on a team with almost zero injuries that he is still getting a game. He will go down as a demon great and rightly so, but his time was up more than 12 months ago. Did anyone else see the half time interview last night. He said something along the lines that he can add more to the team than any other player. He may well be right but it's no longer on the footy field. Thanks for your service Jonesy but it's time.

For the second time this year we have witnessed the opposition bench openly laughing while having a rest. I have never seen this before and this time they were all kids! At the same time our bench resembled a wake with Brayshaw's body language in particular a real concern. If anyone thinks there are not some issues ongoing within the playing group /coaching group, it's time to take the rose coloured glasses off.

Goodwin is the only person in Australia grateful for Covid 19. It's saved his career.

Triple M commentary: "Simon Goodwin standing 3 metres from me with his thumb in his mouth, clueless what to do next. " Says it all really.

I'm surprisingly confident. Even prior to the Lions game (which I always felt could go either way) I've felt we will win the next 3 games. I think Port are overrated and we are playing much better footy than them. I expect May to totally blanket Dixon.

He's named LH

Gee his brother Andrew is turning into a very good footballer. Covers a lot of territory and is improving every match.

Does anyone know the last time we beat a team on top of the ladder? It's going to happen in 2 days time.

Will be near on impossible picking ins n outs. We play Port in 3 days from now and some blokes will simply struggle to get up after a solid hit out in the wet. I doubt we'll risk Bennell and Jetta had 2 big head knocks so you'd think will be doubtful. Rivers and Tomlinson to come in but I also expect someone else will come out for TMac. We are far from out of the race, I expect we will win the next 3.

I thought so too. With a 4 day break he's one player I'm sure they will not take a risk on.

Not the first time poor goal kicking cost us a game but this one hurts. We dominated the 3rd and butchered way too many opportunities. Fritta should be dropped for that 50, inexcusable. Plenty to like though, we can match it with the best in the comp.

He could be a real weapon for us this 4 weeks. Having spent a few years at Arsenal he will be more than well equipped to get a team ready off a 4 day break which is very common in ⚽ !

Gee that's a fair bit of travel.... Adelaide to Tassie in 4 days.

AFL app. Click on the match day tab for Haw v Melbn, then ' players'. You can then click on the individual players and find the heat map along with some other useful stats.

Only Viney and Harmes had more pressure acts than AVB which I've no doubt is one stat that coaches rate far higher than the average supporter. No chance he comes out, we are a better team when he plays, have been for years.

3-0 with Harley in the side!!
