whatwhat say what

Their ruckman is massive

Right, so it’s gonna be one of THOSE nights

Do you think they realise that you can’t handball the ball thru the goals? And then when we do kick it i50 Jones kicks it straight to an oppo

Selfish by both Gus and Hibberd to a lesser extent

Goal outta nothing rather than another set shot

Jesus wept

Outstanding Trac defensive pressure Another player who can’t kick!!

Stretch works hard but is just another average user by foot We have so many of em

Great stuff Jesse

Good grief Melbourne Only we could have 97% time in forward half and be behind after 5 minutes of play

Tyson was fine in absolutely awful conditions He worked hard offensively and defensively and gave second efforts Really, that whole mid group - Tyson, Bugg, AVB (in two and a half quarters), JKH (who also got forward), and Baker - was super strong Very impressed with Filipovic’s second efforts too, even if Preuss was the dominant ruckman on the ground AVB will be back in the seniors sooner rather than later if he can maintain that kinda form...you’d never believe he’s missed two years of football

tyson has wracked up the pill in atrocious conditions - ran hard both ways all day held a team goalless go dees

this weather is extraordinary my main interest is seeing whether or not we can hold them goalless

too small and slow to play midfield and not skilled or quick enough as a small forward option avb will, on this form, be playing afl before the year is out

jkh on fire

how many weeks in the vfl before vandenberg makes his way back into the afl? so strong and powerful

i have wafl and sanfl as options to watch, but no vfl... anyone got a direct link?

i'd rather be their supporters than ours over the last 12 months...

they have not been 'absolute shite' for some time four finals series out of the last five, winning on their fourth entry they steadily improved thru hardwick's first three or four years, dipped, and have rebounded to be as amazing as they are their consistency of not having injured players - or not key structural players at that - has been amazing

he's an absolute gun love his workrate offensively and defensively and he is a brilliant kick of the ball good in the air, good at ground level what's not to love?

pretty simple @beelzebub - tv rights deals around the world are shrinking this is the opportunity for us to get a home base before the big money of the last 15-20 years becomes a trickle rather than a flood

ultimately, getting this - or any other permanent 'home base' - in place by the start of the defining of the next broadcast rights deal is the test for the bartlett-pert regime if we don't have a dedicated home in planning stage by the end of 2021 season we are in big trouble

gaff or dalhaus for mine

Said that in this thread a couple of times He is consistently a 15-25, 4-6 mark, 1-3 goal a game player - not sure he’s ever going to be anything else When he’s at the upper end of that he looks outstanding, but even at the lower end he’s still contributing
