Melksham has made some poor decisions

This is ugly

Has viney hit a target?

2013 vibes at clearances

Looks pretty light against what North stood to receive for Horne-Francis (before the deal got scuppered by the AFL). NORTH MELBOURNE Trade out: Jason Horne-Francis, pick No.1, 2023 third-round pick (tied to Fremantle) Trade in: Picks No.2, 3, 2023 future first-round pick (tied to Port Adelaide), 33, 53 Effectively would have been swapping P1 for P2 and P53 for a future third (Freo) but receiving P3, future first (Port) and P33. Doubt there would be too many clubs valuing H-F > Jackson at this stage so will be a shame if we can’t do better than what’s been reported.

Sydney actually remind me a bit of our 2018 side. A few years early and embarrassed in the finals but a lot of upside on the list. And having been on the “Geelong’s last hurrah” bandwagon for the last few years I’m now in the “I’ll believe their decline when I see it” category. Should happen but geez they are a strong club. I hate it.

Believe in your team until it’s no longer possible. Go Dees!

Would rather keep Hunt than Hibbo or Melksham.

Has Max had a single hit out to advantage? And can I put out a missing persons alert on Jackson?

What about two

First i50 straight to the pocket

.

We lost clearance when it mattered, our tackles didn’t stick, we were undisciplined and gave away 3 goals from 50s, our inside 50 method was horrible for most of the game again and we missed gettable shots.

How dumb is ANB

Clinging on for dear life here

So undisciplined

We were in control of the game. Let’s see how we respond now

Dumb May

All our entries have been to the picket so far. They’re going central.

Both teams look very strong on paper. Will be a cracking game but confident our best wins.

For starters, Hawkins only kicked 16 goals against top 8 teams (8 games, 2 goals/game) and Lynch kicked 19 goals against top 8 teams from 5 games (3.8 goals/game) and kicked more goals overall despite playing 5 less games. It was an objectively superior body of work.

Rozee finished 5th in the coaches votes 1 behind Tracc and 10 behind Clarry and Miller. He deserves his spot. how Tom Lynch doesn’t get in ahead of Hawkins is beyond me though. Clearly wanted a cats captain.

Will cop it for this but I’d seriously consider bringing Weid for Jackson. I think we’re really struggling with our ruck combo at the moment. We’re playing Max forward too much because Jackson gives us nothing inside 50. But Max isn’t scoring enough and although Jackson is rucking a lot more minutes he’s not as good a ruckman as Max so we’re not as potent in the middle. Weid is at least a forward who chops out in the ruck which would improve our balance. He would offer more than Jackson forward and force Max to take more ruck minutes, both of which I think are positive. Otherwise, Spargo was putrid, Neal-Bullen continues to make poor decisions and Sparrow had no impact. Would probably bring Harmes in at a minimum to tag Neale and look at a small forward who might occasionally trouble the scorers.

Take a bow Jake Melksham

Spargo’s efforts in the last 2 mins have been pitiful. Run away from two contests.
