We won despite the questionable selection. Of the ins only Gawn and Rivers strongly justified their selection. Gawn is obvious and we had all been calling for Rivers to come in to allow Harmes to move up the ground. Brown and wagner were ok. Jones was disappointing, as was Omac (but I do think May and lever play better with him in the team).

Don’t mind the Atkins idea but wouldn’t be paying him too much. We should also have a go at Witherden who has only recently won back his spot in the Bris side (Victorian). Jack Sinclair could fill a need for us on the cheap. I’d also have faith in Burgess and co to get Cockatoo back on the park - Geelong couldn’t ask for much given his injury history.

Doesn’t have the media hype but his record speaks for itself. Takes the best key forward every week and keeps them quiet, as well as his (mostly) excellent kicking out of defence.

They aren’t back. They played Hawthorn without Sicily, O’Meara, Burgoyne and Smith. West coast, Geelong and Port will sort them out

Absolutely absurd that Langdon has been fined for that tackle

He missed that we traded North’s first rounder back a few spots which got us the Rivers pick. Makes it look even better for us

Also Pies looking pretty tall despite heavy rain predicted pre-game

Rivers is very slight and gets moved out of one on ones too easily. A bit of time in the gym this summer and he will be a fixture in the back 6 in 2021. Happy with the changes. Thought they might manage Sparrow or Jones for Viney but otherwise as I thought.

Infuriating watching Rankine hold the ball up then stuff the kick.

Agree with this except Hannan instead of Hunt

He didn’t chose to trade 6 - that is a list management decision. Goodwin’s influence is all over many of our recent selections eg Sparrow, Jordon - more inside mids when we have a million.

Not impressed. I think we will win anyway but potential for heart attack/(more) grey hair.

He knows what he is doing. Last year wanted Georgiadis in the twenties (picked at ?18, earlier than predicted) and was very keen on Zac Butters. Both very handy players for this stage of their careers. Our draft picks are also influenced by the coaches and outcome of trades.

Hopefully the focus on Cripps this week will help our players as well

Terrible camera work.

Jetta made some mistakes but did a pretty good job on Cameron who can be a match winner

And that score review was a disgrace and could well have cost us the game. That is not what score reviews are supposed to be used for. The umpire was well positioned and had to make the call. Never mind that it wasn’t even close to being fully over. We were extremely unlucky

No shame in losing to Brisbane but gee we were robbed. By the umps. By our goal kicking. By Hannan kicking OOB. We are our own worst enemy.

Brisbane are very good but we have missed enough easy shots to be in front, let alone the effect of the putrid umpiring. We need to come out fired up and make the first ten mins count. And Goodwin, fix up the clearances!

Apparently not valid at the other end with Fritsch who also got his hands to the ball

The quality of ball movement that quarter was awful (haven’t been watching prior). It seemed like wet weather football.

Yes

Barrett supports freo I believe. We should look at Alex Witherden who is on the outer at Brisbane.

Brad Crouch should only be worth an end of first round pick. Bog average AFL midfielder
