That's right and it just gives you a chance to hold possession for a tad longer and let the opposition do some running without the ball, the option should eventually present. It doesn't necessarily mean going full 'tempo' footy like the Swans back in the day but I think it can be useful and less taxing in the long run.

It definitely would have been nice to see a bit more speed on the ball. They often looked caught in two minds. I do think there's a place for the patient approach but I do agree we're going to need to move it quicker overall.

Best gameday experience I've had at the G in a long time.

You know what I really like about Caleb? He's not afraid to take that extra step, especially when carrying it through the middle. It's ones of those facets that would take our gameplan out of the safe and more into the daring stratosphere. I'd like to see more of that from all our mids, even if they get caught once and a while.

Yeah well spotted Binman. definitely saw him going to Greene in the wide areas.

Late in a game 40 points up I'd like to see it

Got ourselves a Melbourne style fixture this year!

He might have shut them down but he can't shut down the thread.

I remember going into a complete choking fit when I first saw Jerry Rice suit up for the Seahawks..

Were you still there on Saturday after it finished? I walked in as everyone vanished so I decided to do a bit of my own exercise on the oval instead :)

Yeah that's a deep cut

Huge get.

We need more inward and outward movement from our forwards.

I'd have PP back in a flash. Just wish they didn't build those bloody offices!

Yeah.. That last centre bounce has been stuck in my head ever since. It was funny because from level 2 I could see Max and the others congregating on the back corner of the centre square on the Warne side just before the bounce and thought that Langdon was just part of it because the meeting happened to be out there.

It begins..

The jury will need a while to decide that one

Lachie Thief

Yeah that and post-clearance possession

The concern is how much we're still relying on score from stoppage and Max monstering in the ruck. The proof of the pudding with the evolving ganeplan will be if the scores from transition increase. I think yesterday with the weather and personel out is a tough one to be critical on the gameplan and really needs a few weeks Guys like Xavier Lindsay are very much going to help this area and I'm going to be watching how this area develops closely.

Looked like he never left the backline. A very assured performance.

You can look at these games two ways. - A missed opportunity to bank 4 points against a contender early in the season - A day full of encouraging signs and something that can be built on. Which one to you guys fall into? Also, should we have had Trac in the middle for that last bounce?

I think second guessing about selection today is a bad idea. The guys we had out there had a crack and more of them did well than not. It sucks to lose a game of football this way but what can you do? Build on from this performance.

Should JVR have played? Looked no-where near it today.
