whatwhat say what

unfortunately this is going pretty much as i think everyone expected we're not very good, and they're a much better side our midfield is awful fwiw - flagmantle up over 20 contested possessions now

Bit harsh they’ve only got two

1 in 3 that's the equivalent of us getting 17,000 in a couple of weeks

30,468 is a very good sized crowd to witness a tigga mauling

higher training standards at northern franchises don'tcha know

good to hear definitely wasn't in the last, but he wasn't on his pat malone there

from the quarter i saw, nearly all his disposals came from returning the back from kick-ins good stats, sure, but padded

the brand's 'string gon' ping! coward doesn't wanna play us in 2 weeks

very true, but it won't help the complete lack of competitiveness through the midfield based on the quarter i saw we couldn't win a clearance and put no pressure on them moving it i50

stats...

milkshake can barely move out there with his sore knee

casey very lucky that footscray have been inaccurate i've only seen the last quarter but this has been an absolute cakewalk very little pressure on their midfield going i50 and lots of casey turnovers from poorly executed kicking skills

21 to 4 marks i50 is not great

i don't think that's true at all i think he's just a genuinely poor umpire not nicholls, but not far off

haven't seen a minute, just scanning stats - are bonner and moniz-wakefield's kicking stats (18 and 20 respectively) inflated by returning the ball from footscray's 17 behinds?

abc tv vic is simulcast via iview so should be a direct feed https://iview.abc.net.au/video/LS1807V001S00

so we're the kick off game on aunty warms the cockles

and, in fairness, as they did with dawson and rankline add those two to cumming, nibbler, and the hamstrung ah chee as more complimentary than top-liners and they've recruited well to bring sa talent home, but the latter three are not topliners

you can totally understand why they sniffed around oliver a couple of years back and were super keen on petracca they definitely feel like they're a top line mid short of the better sides

10 years, 50 games, and a goal of the year contender jason taylor is an excellent recruiter

matildas + sa election + playing flagmantle over there hoping for good results all around

the taswegian franchise

can we start with one of brayshaw, young, or serong?

good point well made!

wish we'd been able to effect the trade to secure watson he's a ripper
