whatwhat say what

nibbler is by far and away the hardest running player in the side

jordon is miles off being ready for senior footy

if harmes is playing on a man...is there any chance he could actually play on the bont?

our players can't hold their feet

our next tier of mids are pretty ordinary - jordon, sparrow, baker can't clunk basic marks or get their hands on the footy

we've had less than half as many possessions and trail by 3 points

jetta a shoulder

this is the most important thing we can get out of today

three options: attend the game be a foxtel / kayo subscriber head to a pub that's showing it

i wouldn't he competes harder than a lot of more ballyhooed players

that's the key, isn't it a defensive mindset will make the world of difference - tiggas have one player (neck tatts) who doesn't work back defensively because he's so damaging forward of centre last year i reckon we had three mids who worked both ways - gawn (who really ONLY pushed back, never forward), viney, and oliver

Interesting that Niall and Robbo in the little paper are saying the same thing The messaging out of the club sure is consistent!

fyfe is also nursing something apparently

fyfe also nursing something?

dr gerard healy initially speculated it could be a medial, but then changed it to potentially cartilage damage i think it's fair to say he won't be fit for round 1 and potentially quite a bit longer than that he's had a rotten run with injury

i asked peter jackson at the time whether it was being considered as an option as @old dee said, it was ruled out as an option due to no room to grow, existing infrastructure in place needing a complete re-do, and stonnington council being, well, stonnington council

key points are the messages the club has been selling all preseason work much harder defensively bring yr teammates into it backline is sound, midfield and forwards are where improvement is really needed expect many more rotations thru midfield in 2021 preseason focus has been on improved kicking skills in particular gameplan focus is on becoming a forward-half side

My guess at squad of 26: May, Salem, Harmes, Petracca, Jackson, Lever, Spargo, Gawn, Oliver, Langdon, Laurie, Bowey, Tomlinson, Jordon, Rivers, McDonald, Hunt, Neal-Bullen, Fritsch, Sparrow, Baker, Petty, Chandler, M Brown, Jetta, Lockhart

with oliver, jones, brayshaw, harmes, plus trac wanting midfield time, there was clearly no place for him anymore has had a rotten run with injury at north, hopefully he's back to his best for them...except against us

solid win by 44 points, should've been more than 12 goals tho - we wasted a fair few opportunities really wish at least the match day thread for the aflw was on the main page

yeah, i said that and i think they kicked 5 goals to 1 or something for the rest of the quarter :) dees v aints in aflw is far more entertaining

pfft, weed kicked 6 goals against a vfl side once upon a time too meanwhile, peptides look awful

little marketing? afl were spruiking 'potentially' booked out ansett cup matches and that rd 1 will be a fully booked allocation for nearly all games it'll be interesting to see just how much people want to go and see games

reckon yr drawing a long bow

the very fact that they think aints or gw$ in particular are 'definite' to make finals in 2021 sums sen up
