Salems Lot

I watched him on Saturday at Preston and I was impressed with his disposal by foot however it looks like he would be competing with Bowser, Salo or Windsor for a position at the moment and I reckon he is well behind those three

Almost fully fit list makes selection tricky. A good sign that we are dropping good players

Jesse Hogan says Hi! unfortuntaely retention was not strong in this one.

And he marked the ball, a fundamental difference between his and other suspension cases

I reckon Max has no plan to retire in the next two seasons. Still BOG and a star of the comp. I imagine they will trade heavily for a ruckman when his time is up and hope that young Khalani is a hit too

Agreed with Sharp, it seems we saw the best of him against North in a practice match. Hopefully he can do it again

I get what you wanted to see and I too was disappointed but it was great to be so far ahead that we could rest two really important players for the last 10 minutes. In that time their scores came from mismatches in the ruck and up forward.

By being 45 points up we had the luxury of being able to rest Max and May.

We took our captain and key defender off to manage them which you can do when you are 45 points up

Yes, ran out of legs but also rested max and may for the second half of the quarter. We managed our important players which you can do when you are 45 points up.

We took our skipper and our key defender off to rest them. For the first time in the game 33 was rucking against Nankervis. It totally impacted the flow of play.

5 day break was always going to be a factor. Reflect on that before criticising the last 10 too much

This observation from the Age feed. At least I can access that "They have no marks inside 50. It’s as though they come to training in whatever gear they want to wear and muck around."

Travelling back from a family funeral in Manchester and was hoping to follow on the AFL app. Typically the one app not working in flight! Seems like a funereal performance from our boys based on the comments. Might tell the pilot to go around again.....

#6 and 36 will be very important ins for us
