Stirling work!

They need to back their team a bit more. Talking like a bottom 4 club.

Yep, expect plenty of attention put into Rich. Might even be a job for Melk at some point.

I'm very much with you on this. If we struggled from a short pre season it's going to be even harder for the Cats. Still think they will come good but the early damage could be the difference between a home top 4 and travel. I think when it's all said and done our reigning premier title defence will look more admirable than theirs.

Of course! Probably goes without saying what I said but I felt like saying it anyway 😀

Just had a look at Wheeloratings, 59% centre bounce attendance for Danger. In looking at the strengths he brings to the table as skipper I'd have thought being in the middle and winning that 50-50 clearance when it counts ala Cripps who was at 72% was what they would we aiming for. On the flip side they could be managing him so the bounces that he does attend will be more impactful. Not really making a specific point but just trying to find where Danger would most impose his leadership on a game.

King's Birthday but I can't say I'm counting down the days. It's more like please just win it for a change, sick of my birthday week being ruined by magpie poop. Sydney is a huge measuring stick. How will we adapt to a team and coaching style that makes great adjustments in game? That's what I want to know. A win there would resemble the Anzac eve win over Richmond in 2021 for me in terms of what it would mean. I look forward to Adelaide games a lot now. Since that plucky 1 point win by the Crows in Adelaide I just want to beat them every time for the rest of my life.

Coleman is a massive out for them. One less ball user to worry about coming out of the back line.

I keep letting bananas run down to their brownest. Don't get me wrong it's great for smoothies but am I enjoying the richness of the banana in this short time we have on planet Earth? I'll let the viewers decide..

Someone please get the graphic skills out with a Demon pitchforking both these animals. I'd try but not in the mood..

Really wish you posted more Flash! Always with the good insights.

We are better than them, smarter than them and more attractive than them. Let's do this.

Hard to tell if it was lack of fitness, system or lack of desire but whatever it was it looked like a steaming hot mess. No spread, players just hanging out. If you want to play a zone backline you kind of need to run and cover grass, some of those loose options that opened up in the 3rd quarter for the Blues were embarrassing. We copped it hard in 2019 when our structures were breaking down, this rivaled that.

Danger strikes me as the 'lead by example' captain. Players would love the way he goes about it but is he someone who could have the tough conversation or someone you'd love to go fishing with? As you say with less midfield minutes is he going to be able to influence a game when the whips are cracking? You certainly can't captain a team from the bench either. I would have liked to see the captaincy given to Stewart but this is the way they went.

Hewitt is so important for them. Allows the others in the middle to play their game.

Welcome to gameday folks. Let's make the Kings of the jungle look like pussycats.

Their ball use looks like an electric toothbrush in a toaster at the best of times.

Think he's 16 this year. Plenty of time.

Well I hope they lose next week and go 1-1-1

He doesn't seem to have the best agility either. There were a few moments where Stengle showed him a clean set of heels.

It would appear these people doing the ratings are from Bizaro world.

If nothing else he can be one of those guys they interview at half time in a polo.

When do we get worried about Carlton being half decent?

You've used 'asking for a friend' so much that you have to convince us that you actually are 😝

Draw would have been fun
