whatwhat say what

pretty soft free in their f50 but i can only presume the wind is quite significant as the kick pushed clean across goal from 15m out for an oof result

bears hit the front but the mark at the top of the square happened off screen so did it really happen?

casey turnovers costly - they walk it into goal for the excellently-named zac derksen, who previously failed to make the distance from 35-40m out

bears hands are excellent - they chain it thru with little pressure but the kick doesn't make the distance fair wind to the left of screen, perhaps?

mcadam and kentfield both involved in a marking contest at the top of the square after the f50 entry - from laurie, i think? - and mcadam quickest to react at fall of the ball, pouncing for a snapped goal

two in a row to the bears now - they're able to chain it thru the middle of the ground relatively easily once they force the turnover devon robertson opens up space nicely with smart handballs

i personally have father john misty's "live in hamburg" playing while watching jefferson mirrors schache's opener with a mark in the pack and a straightforward set shot goal

schache back in familiar surrounds and opens proceedings with a nice mark over the pack and a goal

ah-ha

yes, but ah-mu is this season, i believe? so not only do we miss out on another nga this year if he goes inside 40 but next year it's that much harder for us to access kalani white mfcss holds true - when things are glum there's worse to come

someone needs to break him so he misses a game and doesn't beat jimmy's consecutive games streak

tomlinson is a soon-to-be-31 year old afl journeyman he's the epitome of 'good ordinary' too good for vfl, not good enough for afl

peptides running all over em i am...conflicted

special

just another thing to blame barassi for, i reckon

fantastic to see him straight back in, bummer to lose petty after a pretty solid couple of games where he looked like he was getting his touch interesting to see if it's fullarton or milkshake into the 22 to replace petty

pffft, six-time all oztrayan tom stewart was 24 when he debuted lazy buggers, one and all...

milkshake was sub for the alice game when fritsch got hurt he was excellent thereon until he did his knee against the swans in the final round god 2023 was frustrating

absolutely wasted as a defender

lukosious is a forward - playing him at half back is an incredible waste

gerard is reaching bruce-like levels of making every statement a question

unlikely

Thought he would rank with Heffernan amongst the worst trade recruits we’d ever had It was when he played a ‘defensive forward’ role on JJ in the game vs Footscray that Lever did his knee in that I thought ‘wow, he’s got something about him’ From then on, he’s been a great player - the goals vs hawks in the 18 finals series and last year’s match winner vs the bears are etched long in my memory Straight back into seniors for mine

anything after 40 = no points value

bloods have lost two games by, what, 3 points in total? imo they're still the team to beat and if they DON'T win the premiership given the season that they're having - akin to us in 2021, geetroit in 2022 - then it should be seen as a failure
