Bates Mate

What would you have been happy with? Great fight back after a horrific start

Clearly ankle area

Petty would have slotted that 😅

How's that not a mark to melk

Hope not that's min 6 weeks

At all times unless he's kicking long

Rooey and Petty being able to slot them is a massive plus

Haha Pickett just broke Ziebells ankles and Healey blames the surface

Gosh all going their way, balls bouncing, marks not fitting paid . You make your own luck but we've got none so far today

Caughing it up like a bottom team

We really need 3 key backs. Why Tinker with that now?

Can someone please find a lid for this thread 😅

Only player I can stomach in that team

So conflicted I can't bring myself to cheer for that club

It's been nearly 2 seasons of playing at a high intensity it's hard to keep up . I wont write them off but their game style must take a toll

But they've won.....oh yeah nothing

Good start for the Hawks. Pies look flat

Both Curnow and Mackay have that mongral and want to crash packs and a touch of swagger , attitude that alot of the best forwards have. JVR has it. Weid,schace do not. Jefferson I have yet to see it ( early days). Petty has it

maybe we might go a season without needing to work out how to play Geelong at Geelong 😅

Agree unlike this time last year where we were clearly running out of gas and declining. We are the opposite this year

I think they have named him to give him a bit of confidence, he's had a tough year with selection. I think they will see what he brings and if he plays like he did again I suggest he'll be dropped. Probably will anyway to make way for clarry

Cotchin isn't best 22 anymore. It's passed him. Champion but I forgot he was in the ground last week

By umpires I meant doctors of course 🤦‍♂️

Surley this leads to AFL appointed independent doctors. Wouldn't be hard to get a pool of 20 or so respected doctors to be paid handsomely for a 4 hour gig every other week

Hawthorn buddy was unbelievable and so great to watch majority of Sydney buddy was meh.
