I’ve been waiting for this combination to try out with JVR, Schache and Fritsch. I think it’s the perfect balance and very mobile , let’s hope it bears fruit.

I love his follow up work and the way he thinks ahead of the situation providing another option after he has competed in the ruck.

That was a tough battle, Richmond brought the heat but we hung tough despite some of the worst umpiring I’ve seen in a long while. Shows what JVR is made of to come back and grab the game by the throat like that.

Four years would be a great result. Nothing would make me happier, other than a spa with Pamela Anderson.

Swans looked cooked with lots of key positions missing

I definitely don’t hate LJ as he is a Demons premiership player, and I’m at peace with it now because we have benefited from the deal. Jacko left for a huge payday and to be close to mum and dad, but unfortunately what that does is put him under an enormous amount of pressure to perform . Staying with the Dees , he still had some good mates and playing in a better team, didn’t have to be a focal point as such. His choice to leave , and everything that comes with it including pressure and criticism is part of the path he chose for himself.

I’m Happy that Sauce and Weed are getting regular games, Looking forward to watching Toby Bedford when he lines up for GWS

Who is a genuine forward with great hands.

In the end we will be better off. More money to keep Kozzie, a top 10 pick and we have gained something special in a fit all Australian ruck with Reg Grundy.

Grundys impact this year is so far above Jackson’s it’s not funny, and if Taberner was fit Jacko would almost be in danger of getting dropped.

Pickett and Fritsch are pretty good forwards

Laurie was a class above today

Couldn’t believe how poor May and Tomlinson were. Apart from our lack of run , that went a long way to us losing the game

They better come out breathing fire. With all the talent on our list I couldn’t stomach another lukewarm performance . We’ve seen two in 5 games so far where we weren’t switched on from the start and it really cost us.

Learnings from this game is that we might start playing form players ahead of reputation or gifting games to guys like Tomlinson, Melksham and TMac We might now need to use Disco Turner, Bill Laurie ahead of them. Gawn will most be likely replace Tom next week if fit.

Gawn and Levers leadership can’t be underestimated, but we just didn’t seem mentally prepared for this game. Bombers outworked and outran us all day and attitude, pressure and workrate are a huge part of footy, no matter how talented you are, if you lack in this area , you’ll get picked off every time.

Rivers been very quiet too

Problem is we never learn our lessons and drink our own bath water too much.

We aren’t even tackling

They are working much harder

Even May looks all at sea

This could be all over had they kicked straight . We look so flat

Backline in complete disarray without Lever
