Pretty average first seasons, IMO. Neither of them had the impact with possessions that Brayshaw has with a mere tackle.

I'd consider Newton outside at this stage. Otherwise, pretty much agree with the rest.

Agreed, mate. 6-8 wins. I will admit, I'd be disappointed now if we didn't get 8 though.

Midfieeeeeeeld.

Geelong didn't play a recognised ruckman. Good on you for being positive but we're on the way up off the canvas. Let's revisit this at the end of the year. Some of the hyperbole is kind of ridiculous.

Apparently, I've missed something...

It was interesting to note Jono Brown didn't agree with Healy.

I'm watching it again now too. I'll be rewatching this one often I reckon.The thing I've noticed this year in Tyson's game is that he doesn't block or sheppard for team mates and in the most obvious of situations too. He needs to get better at this. His game was better than I thought watching it live though.

The AFLPA have come out and said they wanted Gibbs banned on behalf of the players. SOURCE: On the Couch.

Ah, I thought it was Enright. Well, Kelly, you're a [censored].

Robbo mentioned it. Roos started off by insinuating they weren't that similar and then by the end of the conversation, he said there were similarities (to placate the drunk football writer).

Needed to go, just like his pathetic little man bun. Glad he was rubbed out. Need to stamp that stuff out. That was clearly two motions.

I don't remember anyone saying that. I certainly said his disposal needed to improve if he was going to make it. I stand by that, but I think he's improved it and continues to do so. EDIT. But don't get me wrong. I love him.

Wow. Some shockers again, HH.

Dunstall is great. Don't mind Brown either. The rest are hopeless though.

I reckon Bernie's first three or four games for us were high 30 possession games.

That's the thing. Add someone like Prestia (who would be far more likely to view MFC as a viable destination come the end of the season) to Jones, Vince, Tyson, Viney, Brayshaw, Petracca and Salem. We are building something here. It won't be immediately obvious to the rest of the competition, but in two or three years time, Tyson, Viney, Brayshaw, Petracca and Salem will have played their 50-60 games and we'll really start to see them dominate other midfields. If Max and Jake can keep improving, we can then start to really add some depth to our squad. Then you've got a bloke called Jesse Hogan up forward. Seriously, we could have a couple of A graders on our hands for the first time in my 27 years.

Just listened to his interview with SOS on the MFC website. Bloody hell. He speaks like a champ. A really good presenter. He and SOS both do actually. Really good heads on their shoulders, I reckon. Can't wait to see Petracca enter this mix and then whoever we pick up at the end of this year too. That's the thing.

Mine still hasn't.

That's what good sides start to develop though. The unfortunate outs. More of it, please. Agree on just about all that. Dawes played as good as game as he did against Adelaide last year. He didn't hit the scoreboard, but he showed leadership in spades today. He was a real general up forward. He also took two great contested marks. It set the tone. Really happy with both Spencer and Gawn's games. IMO, we won the game in the middle. Dunn was brilliant and our team defence was fantastic, but it was won in the middle of the ground. No Jonesy? Wow. Talk about stiff. I really wanted too. My camera phone is rubbish though. Only got one of the wider ground. We were in row 1 and still not closer enough to get it. Horrible viewing ground that place. And I want Roos to head up our academy. I hope PJ is already talking to him about this/has talked to him about it. Awesome. Bit like the game in Adelaide last year.

Love him. Only needs 5 or 6 kicks and he either kicks goals or sets them up. Really enjoying his goals out the back this year too.

What is so impressive about ANB is his game sense. He knows where the goals are and he knows when to get it on the boot. He's going to be a beauty, I think.

Cripps was pretty damn good yesterday. It's a rubbish award that means very little. Happy to have Gus keep incrementally improving without that spotlight, although I'm sure he'd have no problems dealing with it. Already probably my favourite player.

Gave a very subdued thumbs up to us at the race too when we were singing his praises as they left the field. Love him. Want him to keep coaching us past 2016. One of the best days I can remember at the footy. And I go just about every week. And now I've reached my daily quota for likes.

My old man and I were talking about this as we were leaving the ground. That combo works against a slow side, which Geelong are these days. That doesn't work against a GWS. Still, whacko that it worked today.
