Demon Disciple

Agree with you on Mathieson. I'd love to take a bat to his face, but someone has obviously beaten me to it. Christensen got 2 of the duckiest free kicks to end that quarter. I don't wish injuries on players', but if he continues with that, he'll deserve the injury that is coming his way.

We kicked more than we handballed, increased our entries into the forward 50 as a result, and significantly lifted our tackling rate that quarter. Funny what happens when we decide to gaf, play simple football and do the non-negotiables well.

Give it time, the way Gil and Hocking love to make up [censored] on the fly, they'll soon be reducing the playing field 20m either end to increase scoring. We'll look pretty good then!

I think you're referring to Christensen there GCDee. He came out of the ducking factory of Geelong so no surprises.

hmm, tackled and takes the ball to ground. Yeah just wave your arms you muppet.

Just about his best lead for his entire career. He is so explosive and played his entire junior career in the forward line. I'd have him as our third 'tall' and have Smith use his athleticism to pressure the contest.

It was a serious hyper-extension, so i wouldn't be celebrating too soon. Wait until the scan before we start thanking some deity.

We were half way there before we decided to play some football GB.

Agreed Travis. J Smith thinks he's a world beater, he's about 4/5th in line when it comes to our tall forwards. I'd like to see Weed get more aggressive though, and tell him to keep out of his space.

Bloody annoying, clearly lack of communication, but i'd rather all went up than none at all.

only a dislocated finger thank christ. Put it back in then some ice will do the trick

Lions are being direct whilst we are stuffing around with too much handball.

Not sure if you've noticed Sisso, but going back to early 2000's, our season proper has generally reflected our pre-season form.

We look so hectic when going forward, yet we're letting them waltz through the midfield going the other way.

Good to see we have improved our defensive efforts over the summer. fmd.

Farcical it wasn't a free to Weed earlier, even more farcical that he was given one just then. Like always, umpires are continually negatively influencing the contest.

It's very concerning that we are conceding so many points against us. 113 against the Tigers and already 26 against the Lions and it's not even 20 minutes in.

The sooner he gets pushed out the better. At least Frost shows initiative and toe. OMAC is slow in every aspect of his play (especially in the head).

Get him to sign up the rest of his family, Chief!

Cough.......................Cyril Rioli........................Cough!!! Get Jordan Lewis into his ear

Stop [censored] up our game Gil. God i hope Robbo is right and you are shown the door come year's end.

Can't be too displeased with the final result. Our start was great, our second and third quarters were a worry, but liked that we fought back to within a goal in the last. With the players' we had out along with a horrid middle 2 quarters, we did well against a relatively strong Richmond side. Hope Garlett's injury isn't too much of a concern, but otherwise, thought it was just what we needed (highlighting the areas we need to further focus on going into the season).

He's slow in the head and slow in general play. He reminds me so much like Garland in their seemingly lackadaisical approach.

Yep agree King. He's just not quick enough instinct/reaction-wise. Nothing wrong with being a good disposer coming off HB though.

With the likes of Petty, OMAC, Frost and Wagner in there................can you be surprised?
