I hate to have to say it… but Jeffo looks like a bust. Do we persist for more games in 25 or just cut our losses?

Some really lacklustre chasing efforts and saw him go for a toe poke rather than try pick it up if the ground. That was the most glaring. I coach kids footy and kids who are hesitant to engage in trying to pick up the ball stick out and Jeffo looks to be not wanting to bust a gut or put himself in any chance of physical contact. Will not make it

What was his preferred position as a junior? I agree with Earl haven't seen any weapon yet or anything to suggest he will be more than an average player

We might finish with more goals than points that's a win!

We are the worst tackling team in the comp

Missed tackles everywhere

Trac one of the main offenders

Reckon he’s more hit and miss then ‘horrible’ - have seen him hit some absolutely lace out passes before

I don't watch enough port to know I'll take your word for it. Butchered a few tonight

Gee I hope we’re a chance at Bergman - he’d look great in the red and blue

Quick but horrible by foot

If premiership cups where given for best leakers of information in the league we'd win every year. But wouldn't have anywhere to display them unfortunately

He's right, Max is huge around the ground but consistently let's himself and the team down with his goalkicking. It is inexcusable that it hasn't been fixed, he's kicked what 2.13 or so for the year? Many from within 30m on barely any angle. It's demoralising for the team when that continues to happen.

Would be better off kicking a forward torp tumbler off one step. More chance of going straight

I'll enjoy the rest of my year not watching.

Was having a good weekend until this. Same every week. Max , petty, sparrow, Trac, Oliver, Fritsch all with chances most u/14s would get . Wife asked why are you so angry. I said my football team and just not worth it right now

There will be plenty of 36s going on the back of jumpers, my son included.

I told him to hold off earlier this year now he'll go through at least 3 more sizes during kozzys contract

The kicking skills and smarts of sidebottom,pendles , daicos v the lack of skill and composure of clarry, trac ,gawn and rivers is the difference.

Ball between two big sticks =6 points

Ball between 1 big stick and 1 small stick= 1 point.

Spend more time on kicking between 2 big sticks

Side note only and it's been said ad nauseam but WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH TRAC'S SET SHOTS???

Always been bad. 50m out on a 45 he can bin them other than that he is a bad [censored] at fish and kick in general. Terrible technique

AJ is rough, but a proud and passionate guy who will give 100%

Serious x factor. , I think we should

Has that ,gees this guy is a psycho look and attack on the ball, that puts fear in the opposition

We probably should've won that by 4-5 goals with how dominant we played in that finally quarter. We kicked 4.8 for the quarter.

Our set shots are terrible. The only time I have any confidence of us kicking a goal from a set shot is from the goal square or Melksham around the corner. Everything else I expect to miss and we usually do

I see it but I don't believe it. Bloody fantastic. That last QTR effort was so good.

Don't worry we still have the last QTR to come. Brisbane by 50

2 goal gifts this QTR for Brisbane

Soft free kick

Bad kicking is killing us

Frustrating to watch. Oliver has no idea and half of our guys can’t kick.

Is chocco still running his kicking school our boys are still at prep level

Petracca centre clearance in space and kicks it 50m in the air. His kicking is awful

Umpires already getting way too involved in this game

Either something is not right with May or he’s a shadow of his former self and I query giving him an extra year in 2026

Plugger Mac is by some margin the best tall defender

100 percent agree. He looks confused out there. Slow to kick it in. Loses his opponent all the time.

He is dreadful...but so iare most of the other so called expert commentators.

They just barrack, pump players up and drag teams down and tell us what we already know.

How about some insight into thregame.

Zac Merret is a star.

I didn't know that.

Thanks Kingy that was great insight mate.

What the hell was the decision made by the official into the ear piece of the umpire by the way?

Yeah that ear piece thing was baffling.

From my interpretation he awarded north a free late, a north player kicked a point before the late whistle, the essendon players argued that north took the advantage so the point should stand instead of a free kick 10m out from goal, so the ump said I'll just ball it up

It was 34 secs from mark being paid to being told to play on. Just double checked on kayo

Fair enough didn't feel like it live watching on tv. Surely the umpire gave a warning as they usually do a few seconds before calling play on?
