what a great end to the game

Lack of a proper series of competitive matches shows (for most clubs). Some really good patches broken by poor skills and extremely poor finishing in front of goal. As they say, we'll be better for the run, build confidence in each other that comes from a win. The constant pressure in the 4th was great to see and a change from the lats few years.

Its a win! positives but work to be done.

Same reason you can get a mark from a 6 mtr kick!

Lets see how that fitness is going to impact the game...

Thanks god!

He is good, but the connection and smart play is missing. Is he hitting it to the wrong spot or the mids are running to the right spots?

Some goal kicking practice this week!

Burgo and a good preseason

Oliver needs to kick faster, over playing it and its putting pressure on others and himself.

How good is Jordan!

Ironically its called "football", the new man on the mark rule does change movement, how will we adjust.

Thanks, I have joined the Flower league. Looks like spots for 14 more people!

hopefully that is art of his role on gameday, or should he be in the box!

Useless blues had it in the bag today and blew it. Would have opened up a potential change in the top spots.

Great win by the girls, really team effort with a few standouts already mentioned. Playing with purpose and a plan for the wet too. Looking forward to seeing them live next week in Perth. They'll come over with confidence in their system.

I agree. it is bad luck for the team and the player for any injury that stops them taking the field. That's why overtime we have risen to 4 interchange players. The flexibility is already in the system.

Once upon a time I didn't rate Hardwick either... but he has built a champion team. But it has taken him a long time, starting 2010.

Pre-season is always higher scoring for all teams, no tags, though there seems to be more focus on attacking for at least the H&A, finals very different.

Two at Casey is good, get to go to the footy in Freo which will be nice. We're shown we can match the bets sides, if we kick straight!

Happy to go again team: darkhorse

Good for a lot of her career, but I think he left it too long to retire from AFL and couldn't stand the drooling over some players (Generally never a Dee player).

Hopefully a chance to reset our goal kicking! And maybe a bit better structure.

Bloody Cunningham just before the siren, your a full forward, you mark and go back for a shot. Thats your only job!

So frustrating, at some point someone needs to go for goal...Then we let them kick those two late one's. We were good for the first 1/2 of the qtr, looked more settled except in the last 30mtr to goal. Why do we suddenly look so small and can't mark or spoil. Crap first half, lots of room for improvement.
