Goodnight

What's happened to rivers?

Max ffs. Wake up

[censored] half of football Chin can stand tall. Not too many others Stoppage clearances 9 to 15 Max getting a pasting Trac hardly seen TMac back to the bad old days Lever having brain fades again Petty should be dropped on this performance And Fritsch watch Going with has average for the past 12months, 2 disposals to half time. In fairness he's been putting in a bit more but he just can't get near the pill

Tackling is pathetic

Awareness today is awful

Courageous goal from Fritsch Chandler and spargo playing well Max needs to lift

Great kick from jvr

We can wake up now

Petty dragged to the ground and the [censored] derwayne screaming for a Larkey free [censored] its gonna be a long afternoon

Let's hope fritch gets more than 2 possessions in the first half - probably his average first half contribution in the past 12 months

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

Sorry thats BS check the 16 sec mark top right.

If Jefferson or AJ were going for a loose ball I'd be pretty certain who would get it.

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

We were mostly very slow in transition Still. Stop and prop was plentiful

He's a left footer

He turned him and his shoulder hit the turf. BS decision

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

What about the Petty handball to Langdon that went astray and hit the behind post. Paid as a deliberate. Garbage

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.

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.

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.

So?

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.
