That was poor. Need to really change things up at q time or we are screwed

I want discipline.

Thanks Rusty. Adds some interesting and valuable rigour to thinking about our performances.

Brisbane set up perfectly to beat us in the middle, and it took until 1/2 time to start to crack the code. They played off our midfield, ring fenced our midfield and squeezed the ball out of our midfielders. It worked a treat and they won the clearances significantly. The bollocking of Viney and the better work of Oliver certainty turned things around. Brayshaw not so much, and Petracca was shaded versus last week. Our game relies on us winning in the contest. Our backline was phenomenal to keep us in it until we switched things up.

Such a Melbourne loss. So many ways we could have won, but just couldn’t. The misses were so costly, but they missed several as well. I liked the fact that we didnt give up, we reset at the contest where we were being smashed. Viney willed us forward, what a legend! Outplayed by a very good team, there was a small window to pinch it but.. MFCSS...

Not swear nearly as much as when we lose!

I like the move of Harmes into vdb’s role and Frittata to the wing. I think that covers these off and allows other decisions. With Stef Martin out, that changes their balance. Big O has done ok, but Max should chew him a new one.

We haven’t seen them for a reason. Injured, developing, depth or others in front of them. With so many injuries last year, more got a look in when perhaps they were not ready. Now we are in a good spot, these guys need to prove they deserve a spot. also, on drafting guys who don’t get a game elsewhere, why the fascination with other’s junk? If Petty and Neiter get back, it will be like a draft scoop anyway.

Wow, just checked. 31 hit outs to 8. English getting a lesson

No comparison, just my comment on the game...

Weightman - 0 posies into the third. Runs around packs like a seagull looking for a chip.

Happy to play the bummer holes later. If we played them in round 2, we were still stinking it up. At least we are seeing some good footy being produced by the Dees. Play like last weekend and we will wipe them off the map. So we lose a bye week, but face a team when we are stronger / they are potentially found out. Would take that any day of the week.

Hawks should have had Frost before Sicily. Clarko favourite. Sam had a really good game for them I thought. If any of those muppets got a vote, it should have been Frosty.

Freo may move back based on being in points debt from last year. They may go from 4 to 6, for example. Won’t worry us unless we trade back in (which I doubt). Hard to know how it plays out if lists are savaged, do we still have to take 3?

Yep, he got done, too $1000

Jaeger o’smearer in the first quarter. I bet if we asked, the hawks fans would chip in to a go fund me to him him again.

His eye says ‘not again’.....

Lockhart (?) -some valuable interventions

We gotta beat these muppets. they over stack the space behind the ball if you give them time- often 5 additional players in their d50. We gotta go fast when we get a turnover and look for space. Wings will be critical to hold width. hawks will look to possess with lots of uncontested marks. Gotta make everything a contest and hard two way running. need great delivery to fast moving forwards. Hawks backline can’t compete on pace, only height. Gotta have good leads and strong follow up at the contest. i think we will win by 26 points.

With BT, only one player has a first name “Orazio Fantasia!” Everyone else is a surname or a nickname “The Bont!” Just call the game you bag of [censored].

6 tackles and 3 score involvements vs 0 tackles and running around packs waiting for a lolly? Kozzie>>>>weightman. That haircut could only get a run in the Western suburbs

I think they cant cover our medium forwards. Just got to hit up leading targets, not just bomb it in.

English is the [censored] target of Bruce Mc so far...

Hawks put so many behind the ball it is ridiculous. I saw footage of an oppo entry a few weeks ago and there were 6 deep dorks just choking things up. Fast ball movement has to be key.

I would like to see him on the wing. Good athlete, can take a mark and reasonable by foot.
