Can’t get a game with only Georgiades and Lukocius up forward. That’s a worry.

Agree. Will McCreery and Crisp be looked at for dangerous tackles, I think not.

Crowd at Bombers v Crows at the G, on a sunny saturday, with no Grand Prix, looks poor. Wonder if we will hear Caro and her mates knocking the Bombers’ fans.

I am getting sick of McCrae. Said Cox was punched in the face and got stitches and he was sure the player would come under MRO scrutiny. He is now as annoying as Chris Scott.

Daicos, Pendles and Sidebottom get Pies home again. Dogs had too many out, headed by Bont.

Garry Lyon certainly mentioned it on Fox. Said Dogs fans were furious:

Final score tonight 33 frees to Pies to 14 Dogs. When you lose by a goal that is mammoth.

Dogs need to spread and go fast and see if older Pies can go with them.

Cotton Ons will have no problem with their Cap, or finding Farms, after getting JUH, as well as any other good player available.

That’s what it looks like. I have moved on.

That is a great stat. Brings a smile to your face.

Agree with you as to what Hoyne said, but that his theory requires pace and skill from transition and my fear is that we are not great in that area, ( yet ). As he said, only one premier in the last 6 years won it on the Clarko theory of just get it in there and that was us. I think Goody has been trying to improve pace and skill from transition and that is why Caleb is on the hbf and soon Judd will return there. Sharp is another who could get a go there, with possibly Woey as depth and AMW was looking good there until injured. Bowey at his best fits the bill, as he did in 2021. Perhaps this year the team with the best mix of both will be the premier, rather than the outstanding team in the one area. PS: Forgot XL .

That sounds like the 2021 Premiership Coach’s style of play, that so many DL’s are against. It does require talented quick smalls though. Unfortunately our best is on his backside for 2 more games. There is a lot of common sense to the theory, that it is better to be contesting a loose ball in your forward 50, than possessing it in your defensive 50, especially when you might have suspect skill.

Was just about to write the same thing. Doesn’t waste a possession.

Yep agree, all dislikable.

I have a real problem, I as can’t stand either of them, but Carlton will always be my most disliked. Can’t stand the club.

I stated a stat. I said nothing else.

4 of Blues 5 goals from frees and if Acres kicked accurately would be 5 free goals from 6.

They really deserve to be an extremely disliked club.

Getting that first game out of the way, is a big step in the player's confidence that he belongs. Of course you don't want to put in a stinker, but a reasonable game first up, would do wonders for the player. Jeffo has the talent and will power to forge a senior career. This week in better conditions against lesser opponents, will be a big opportunity for him, which hopefully he makes the most of.

The Cotton Ons now apparently into JUH. Any surprise?

Seriously? Surely the AFL media is all over this, oh yes, of course, they actually have the conflict.

A difficult one and I stand to be corrected, but Archer appeared to get up and walk away after the incident, without showing any immediate concern for the concussed Bulldogs’ player. A North team mate did however. That is disappointing if correct.

I think the main reason the attitude has raised its head early this year, is because we are often the victim, also often persecuted and with everyone picking on us.

No look again, his head hits the ground and we will not challenge. His shoulder hits first and then his head, in the whiplash motion. Bit unlucky, but they are trying to stamp that sort of thing out.
