whatwhat say what

i sense a theme in 2026 - cj mark, cj run, cj bomb to no one

cj is very ordinary can't kick and misses the ball in the air

steele and cj have been teammates for...checks notes..... zero real games and it showed

petty out-bodied by lynch too easily but he's not on his pat malone there

windsor is a good n

mine too says a lot that he was borderline for them and clearly best back 6 for us

cj's kicking is very poor knee injury confirmed for kentfield

concussion - definitely; knee - potentially

some days? some days?!?? norm smith curse only lifted when none of us (well, most of us) could go to see us win a premiership!

nothing in it; complete accident wow now lightning and the players are being called off it's almost like the afl should use a stadium that they own that has a roof to play practice games on

luker looked in a bad way knocked out cold - elbow to the head in the contest possible mcl injury as he landed too

major tom [matthews] as his vice?

that's pretty cool

i seem to recall they were more stunned by the LACK of parking required due to easily accessible public transport options

grundy knows how to take advantage of the situation that is at hand definitely going to get rules on the run with this garbage new approach to centre circle

since i put it on at half time, these two teams look very, very good annoying

also, does this create an opportunity for ah mu to get on the list? he showed more in that practice game than el jefe

creates an opportunity for others hopefully a kentfield or max the younger can grasp it

Kentfield firms for rd 1 debut

General impression I get from non Dees fans is still this They still see him as a ‘dirty’ player and would love to have him

derksen going well

yeah i get that i am presuming at this stage he'll be good to go, as per petty getting the key defender spot over mcdonald pending fitness

i would argue we were not 'nomads' but instead in 'isolation' arguably it was the thing that allowed the players to focus and work together as one to build towards the premiership

at this stage, i want milkshake's "smarts" in the team more than i want to see kentfield debut it's either him or moose for a bench spot imo

that's a very tall line-up; i would expect el jefe and taylor might not make the 23, and tholstrup is borderline too mine: B: Jiath - Petty - Lever HB: Linsday - Turner - Salem C: Langford - Steele - Howes HF: Fritsch - Mihocek - Langdon F: van Rooyen - Melksham - Chandler Foll: Gawn - Rivers - Koz Pickett I/c: Windsor - Tholstrup - Heath - Sparrow - Kuz Pickett Emerg: Taylor - McDonald - Kentfield but still a fair bit to play out before the seasons starts in earnest obviously yep, he's one of our more consistent players and a clear leader around the group
