  1. We played them pre-season pretty much at full strength. We have seen most of what they have got. Shouldn't be too many surprises
  2. Sorry thats BS check the 16 sec mark top right.
  3. If Jefferson or AJ were going for a loose ball I'd be pretty certain who would get it.
  4. This is my worry as well I think he has gotten better at this but there were moments where he put a flailing arm out to try and stop a player rather than go a full hearted body check. It's a watch for me but I worry you can't train this stuff. You either invite/seek contact or you don't
  5. We were mostly very slow in transition Still. Stop and prop was plentiful
  6. He's a left footer
  7. jnrmac replied to Redleg's topic in Melbourne Demons
    He turned him and his shoulder hit the turf. BS decision
  8. I dont think it was a footy accident. It looked completely reckless to me. He was never going to be first to the ball and just barreled into him I thought Taylor's dive over the ball to take out Petty's legs was bad as well
  9. What about the Petty handball to Langdon that went astray and hit the behind post. Paid as a deliberate. Garbage
  10. Refresh my memory about "constantly calling for him to be dropped"? Its a team game. You pull your weight. You get some leeway on past performances. But at some point you get called out.
  11. He has been a liability since the end of 23. Last year in the first halves when the heat was on there were 9 games where he has 2 possessions or less at half time. Lack of effort and tacking pressure is a cancer in a team/system game. When 1 player doesn't do it the system breaks down. But yeah he kicked 6 in a grand final so he can play how he wants for the next 10 years.
  12. Talent is nothing without effort. There are millions of talented people in the world who never make anything of themselves because of lack of effort.
  13. Fritsch was unsighted in the first half carrying on with his 2024 form When he first came to the club he was played down back to try and sharpen his defensive skills. He seems to have gone back to old ways. Not sure how much longer gets a free pass on his pre-2023 efforts.
  14. As much as Howes wasn't up to speed I would have benched Jefferson much earlier to bring on an extra running mid in Langford.
  15. It might be earlier than round 10 at this rate....
  16. Fritsch should be the sub going fwd. For the past year he has only ever played the second half of games.
  17. Saw that but he was likely completely gassed
  18. That set play is so standard for them. I was shocked we weren't ready for it
  19. Not surprised he was subbed
  20. They've kept Taylor quiet which is probably a plan
  21. Howes doesn't look up to it on this showing
  22. His last 30 games, first halves have been non existent
  23. Well done
