Especially at Docklands

Turnovers kill you on zone defense and our turnovers on Thursday were ridiculous

Plus apparently half the Crows team were NT natives.

Drink driving was pre finals

Collingwood 11 flags between 1902-1936 and Melbourne 10 flags between 1939-1964 probably the only others to come close. Fitzroy also won 8 between 1898-1944. None in the modern era come close to the Hawks.

That miss was probably the most disappointing thing on the night for me. He really should be nailing those or at least not missing by so much.

Yeah it reminded of our game there last year a bit although a bit more open. West Coast will be a good side, I really don't get the wrist slashing on here. It's the last hitout before the season, we lacked in execution but otherwise I thought we did well. The players who were down won't be down in round 1 and guys like Oliver Hunt Brayshaw and Salem did enough to get me excited for the year ahead.

11 points with 8 minutes left in a practice game. Main thing - no injuries please!

Lovin Hunt he's a ripper!

Please rewind and listen to Dunstall all those having a fit

Pressure and structures been good, execution not so much. Not too worried though it's not often youll see Jones Viney Tyson etc have poor games and especially not at the same time. Oliver, Hunt, Brayshaw early, Spencer Melksham all look pretty good. Oliver and Hunt in particular

Lol

We're always a bit sloppy coming off the bye. Jake the Snake all over it though! Making it hard to drop him

I hope they do their supporters deserve it. Obviously besides us, I'd love to see the saints claim a flag sometime soon. The tigers too though obviously that wont be a popular opinion

We also had a good draw and great run with injuries last year

I won't be overly fussed if they do us in round 1. Of course not ideal, but I'll be more interested in how the return fixture pans out in round 22

PJ and co have earnt the right for us to give them the benefit of the doubt. However supporters are naturally wary due to the failures of previous administrations. It's not a big deal at the moment as I have faith that the club are working on this to ensure it gets done by round 1, it's just a little odd at the moment is all especially with our increased exposure and expected upturn in performance.

Drink driving I thought. Let's be honest any TAC/footy club partnership is fraught with danger. They've already had to cut ties with Collingwood, Richmond and Geelong due to player indescretions.

This will all be forgotten by round 2

We sell 2 games a year to NT. Pretty sure top tier sponsors aren't optional. On another note I see TAC have parted ways with the Cats. Get on the phone PJ.

A bit late to the party, I assume there was no mention of what is going on with the back of jumper sponsor? Pretty ridiculous if we can't get it sorted by round 1 (in less than 3 weeks). I'm surprised there's been so little comment on the issue.

I was thinking the same thing the other day - it's in the mouth

He also handballs in space in front of his teammate rather than to his teammate which allows then to run on to the ball in space in continuous movement

They also have "relative ratings" which measures players against all other players in the same position at the same age since 2010. So for instance Tom McDonald performs something like 65% better than all other 24yo key defenders over the last 7 years. Oliver is another who is about +35% compared to other mids his age since 2010. So they do have a measure that tries to factor it in.
