Any idea how this is calculated?

It seems we have a number of specific defensive roles, including that of FB and intercepting back (may, Lever). Tommo did OK when he took Mays role earlier in the year, but panicked when he had to play Lever’s intercept role. If not him (obviously) then who do we have as a Lever mark 2 for when the glass ankle strikes again?

Harmes may need another week for load, but if not could come in for Sparrow. Laurie is a ready replacement for Spargs, Max in, Lever in, Brown in. Melks out, TMac out, Thommo out. Schache next in line.

Tommo near the top of the table? Man, that really says something about our day… 8th best according to stats. Huge negative impact on the match. Those numbers are awful across the board.

Wow. It was obvious where this was going 30 seconds in. zDid they think they could opine this one in? The lack of effort in the contest was clear from the start. Some real stinkers today - Tommo was a real negative standout today. TMac low value, nibbler off, Spargo low value and Grundy was shaded. Hats off to: Petracca, Viney, JVR, McVee, Petty late and Oliver 2nd half. Struggle street - the rest.. Mays worst game for the club.

We were flogged by the lions so the stats of the other games are impacted by this ‘outlier’ over only 4 rounds. We are also better at post clearance contest winning (if the oppo clear it, they do so under pressure and the receiver is also under pressure). So maybe it isnt the key stat for us?

They were correct, he was fantastic!

I believe it is on ch 7

Will the lights stay on?

Given the West Coast have been smashed by injuries, would the panel make any specific changes to play on this, or take best available rewarding performance? i think it is a question of philosophy, are we looking at the bigger picture and rotating players, or looking for a win week by week? Goodys language on this is not clear….

Clarry in his interview called him “roo - ter”

My hopes for today: A cracking game, Dees to win A successful debut for JVR A return to form for the midfield Grundy back to AA form Cheap beer (not gonna happen) Getting on my bus home with 150,000 ferals at the GP spewing out about the same time…

How long can they keep that style up for? It’s a long season, and kamikaze football looks all conquering….for now. Collingwood have sore Cox and a shafted cam (Eron). Teams need to pressure about 4 players, and make the backs accountable. The rest is a high wire act. hopefully system beats mayhem on Charlie’s day.

Wow. Both these squads have massive issues. Tough game, that Garcia gave away multiple 50s. Jamarra and Naughton a good pair up forward. Daniher and Lobb both useless in their own special ways.

Well done on a thoughtful, respectful and open interview. I love how ‘loading’ got (sort of) confirmed in terms of training blocks! Very interesting, and my congratulations on getting both access and a reasonable level of engagement (not just cookie cutter answers) that bring us all value.

And ‘accidentally’ catching their pinched head between the two high diving hands???

Any thoughts about a shifty move - Harry Petty Forward, May into side. Milky back to Casey and AMW in? TMac play second ruck.

Some might forget a player who went at #2 in his draft year, potential forward with lots of time on the clock, Schache? Anyone? Plus JVR, Jefferson and even H Petty. Stay calm…..

So Fagan wants to whine about being disadvantaged at losing a few minutes warm up. I think they had an unfair advantage practicing on a centre square that was a cricket pitch - and behaved like an ice rink. How many times did they just smash it out of there? we lost so much territory it was like playing uphill, and the conditions looked sweaty slippery. What do you guys think contributed to the worst midfield performance (leaving off the Max Factor) in 3-5 years?

Worst game in 5 years, flattered by the result. Couldn’t give a rats effort by almost the whole squad. Midfield insipid, petty pathetic. Too many to mention that has underwhelming games. Wtf happened to allow such dominance by a bunch of …. Letting Daniher look like a valuable player was a disgrace. need to turn that around before next week.

Any team with Daniher in it is a joke. Dumbest footballer I have ever seen. cover Rich from delivering from HB and they are cooked. 48 point victory to the Dees

Smith as emergency…. Really? Hopefully of the Deakin variety….

Great Sub choice. Milkshake is a very smart footballer that can play middle and ahead of the ball, but might not be as fast or have the legs of the others. Bring him on as a sub when others have slowed a bit and let him get to work. He contributed straight away. A tactical masterstoke? (I think so)

Sorry, I’m just a bit nervous…

March premiers are obviously the filth. Let us just quietly crush a few teams over the first 6 weeks and settle into the momentum of winning. We will then know how the game is being played, and where we stand. Dees by 32.
