Yeah. If they’re going to play really badly, now when they are playing lesser teams that are still full of early season energy and optimism is a great time.

JVR has been in the ruck most the quarter I think. He may be the only option, not sure, or it could be his audition for next week.

Was about to ask that? Copped a knee in the head late in Q3 so hopefully not concussed.

I agree. I haven’t seen anything from Dunstan at VFL or AFL since he’s been a Demon to suggest he is anymore than a good VFL player any more. I’d be getting games into Laurie, JJ, Taj (when fit), and maybe Howes, D. Smith and Moniz before recalling Dunstan.

Every time I see him I automatically think Allen Jakovich.

Love red time goals

Anyone know where Verrell and the other young ruck is? And is a disco out there?

Sounds like the commentary is coming from a bathroom.

Great to see several players putting their hands up and keeping pressure on the seniors.

Has JJ significantly bulked up this year or is it just the online vision being a little distorted?

For every goal we kick, they need to kick 1.5+ goals for the recommencement to benefit them more than us.

I love when Fox crosses to Alistair Lynx. Always sounds heavily inebriated. Not sure if that’s just the way he speaks now, but it always makes we smile.

Away team get the win yeah?

Mine too 😩😩

Me either. Our scope for improvement in immense if the coaches and leaders can get them properly aroused.

We’ve done exactly what we needed to do this quarter without actually finding any real form. So much room for improvement.

Thank goodness for Lever

I really don't rate the Lions as I feel they are missing any genuine hardness. They seem to be the very definition of faux tough guys. When the pressure is on they go to water and lose their composure and discipline. A good, preofessional showing by us and we win by 6 goals. If we are ruthless, a 10-12 goal win is on the cards.

Take Cameron and his incredible conversion out of last nights game and Geelong really looked bad. Wallpapering over the cracks big time. Backline that can’t cover their outs and can be picked apart. Dysfunctional forward line without Cameron and the midfield is middle of the road at best. Can’t write them off of course as it’s Geelong and only round 2, but for everyone hoping for the cliff ti be here, it certainly looks promising.

Not liking the push in the back as Carlton is kicking it tactic Geelong is using. It isn’t paid down the ground but gives the defence plenty of time to setup as the ball slowly comes back.

Much better but I sense there’s still been a bit of throwing the bone to some players so every team has representation at the pointy end.

Hawkins conned the ump somehow he was having a shot. Poor umpiring really.

Turning into a decent game now. Both teams still lacking polish to make the most of possession chains.

Dunstall trying to convince us that it’s scrappy because of the pressure. Then Fox shows the pressure gauge and no, not a big pressure game at all.

I like what Silvagni is doing with Rata. Taking him well up the ground, testing his endurance and stopping him going third man up.
