whatwhat say what

some brilliance from cameron bears keeping gc17 at arm's length

for whom? hibberd or lever is the only player he'd really be replacing at this point, and neither of those players should be dropped

i really hope so kid looks a gun

mac andrew looks like he's reading the play a bit better tonight

if he's a monty pick 1 selection, surefire raging favourite to go there - absolutely! but he's not, and we won't, so it seems like an irrelevant thing to worry about as up thread said, we're going to get a competent afl-list level second / third round selection from a father-son happy days

personally i'd prefer if he was an elite talent and we could be confident in picking a father-son who was a class above players his own age he doesn't sound like he's quite that but he's not exactly sounding like a player who won't be on an afl list in 2024

i know; i'm disgusted with myself too

harmes played at casey - one of the best mids today in terms of run and carry but burns the ball too often

who for tho? at the moment our backline is over-indexed... talls: may, lever mid-size: hibberd plays tall, rivers rebounds smalls: salem, brayshaw, bowey, mcvee that being said, turner has been clear bog this game i'd say - only player he'd replace would be one of the talls or hibberd, and even then i'd probably go tomlinson to replace may if needs be

this there was little difference between this game and the filth's narrow win over adelaide at the oval - both ostensibly 'superior' teams had purple patches but otherwise had their strengths negated by a side that played hard, disciplined football in ordinary conditions the only difference is a) yaartapulti are a vastly superior team to the crom and 2) the filth won

competing in the air more that second quarter

loving the pom on play by play and the dinkydi oztrayan on the colour - real contrast of voices jefferson been impressive this quarter with marks and now a big goal from 50

In a post JVR ruling world I reckon he’s looking at a fortnight off

Prior to the Casey game, I would assume… OUT: Hunter (suspended), McDonald, McVee IN: Sparrow, Brown JJ needs either a full game at afl level or straight up get dropped - he offered little last night after coming in for Bowey Brayshaw must return to defence - too slow to transition between offence and defence as a mid

If buts and maybes They didn’t, we lost narrowly, such as it is If we’d kicked accurately vs gc17 we wouldn’t have won that closely Swings and roundabouts

We lost by four points and people are carrying on like it was 40 It was a great game and ask any neutral this morning and they’re all saying we both looked like top tier sides

6: rivers 5: may 4: oliver 3: fritsch 2: petracca 1: hibberd

in terms of the midfield, we really missed sparrow brayshaw is not a midfielder who suits our game style, as his ability to switch from offense to defense is very slow petracca was clearly hobbled and couldn't get any acceleration out of the contest til after half time, and then only sporadically

great game and i hated every second of it

funny how we go to pieces in the rain

gus no helmet

and footscray

i dspute this north, meth coke were easy kills, and they snuck over the line vs the other three footscray win the best of that lot and from memory it was their key forwards - two of whom are missing this evening - that were particularly damaging

i imagine we'll package our 2x 2023 1st rounders and 1x 2024 1st rounder for pick 1 i want a premiership and pick 1 kplsthxbye
