Bates Mate

Ben Mackay is awful

Bad memories of Simon Eishold there

Balls Grinter is the best nickname we've had

I would think a 2 year deal would be the smart move . He will then have just as many options after 2 years and can force his way out after 1 if things go even further south at the dogs

I'm all for Tasmania having a team .Good numbers but they are $10 memberships. I think they will be a great addition to the comp and probably be about of peoples "2nd" team. That jumper though is seriously rubbish . Giants showed how you can create a modern jumper that will hold up for decades to come. Logo looks good

Kozzy is 0 from 60 in his career. Needs to retire the moty attempts. His attempts usually mean there are no crumbers and the ball exits our 50 most times

BBB had sticky dukes today was really good in some one of ones

Unlike last week no passengers today. Selections where all on the money this week.I was critical of the Tomlinson dropping but tmac was great. Was great to see the goals spread around. Every player was a level above last week. Great day at the G and the crowd on the members side getting around clarry everytime he ran to the bench was fantastic

Head scratching selections every week. I had hoped we learnt our lesson but apart from 21 Goody's usually got at least one selection each week that doesn't make sense. I mean 3 talls allowing lever to drop off his man and intercept is our best format in defence.

Can't see us winning one soon with our lack of skills and polish in the midfield. Our grunt and sheer weight of forward entries with the best set up back 6-7 got the job done in 2021. But skills and rapid ball movement from opposition can bring us undone quickly. And unfortunately we don't have the cattle to execute a similar game plan against top teams

Jvr has had some good moments is quite slow and not great when it hits the deck. I love his competitiveness but not as convinced as some he'll be a genuine no 1 key consistent 50+ a year key forward. But our delivery in stinks so I'll keep the faith

Yes our forward structures are still bad. But the fact is that it's our mids who make it so difficult for them. We rush it in when we should take time, we are too slow to move it when we should be quick . Our mids lack composure and skills. Clarry, Viney,Track, Gawn, sparrow who do you trust out of those to make a good decision and hit a target. Contested beasts who get it forward through sheer strength and will but not players who help forwards. Look at that mcvee play to fritta a composed player with skills, we want improve until we have players with those attributes delivering it to the forward line. Mcvee, Salem, Windsor, rivers, Bowey have the ability but ones a rookie and the rest we pay back the majority of the time. Something's got to change

Schace - never again please

Going in I thought our midfield would be too good, especially with their outs. I was wrong we underestimated them and got what we deserved

Schace is probably the weakest big man to pull on the jumper I can remember

Not sure who else you'd put in his place, not great but no one really going to do better

Billings is just Laurie 8 years advanced

Haha flukiest goal I've ever seen

Or "best" players have been in and out in patches , bottom 6-8 players just not AFL standard tonight some probably never

Just way too many passengers

Hope so, been better than gawn tonight

No one in our forward line has the pace to do that

It's ours if we can remained composed big if

Spargo is a dead set liability. Him and Laurie terrible

Looks like our long predictable kick ins have been worked on, we now do iffy 15m kicks to dangerous areas
