O Mac played well but he had 6 kicks to May’s 18, and May still went at 76%. He had a couple of early blunders but if there’s one player in the back six I want with the ball in his hands it is May hands down. Back six for mine is May, Lever, O Mac, Jetta, Hibberd and Salem, although I am loving Lockhart atm so having him drop back there is a luxury. I’d play him regardless as he has already elevated himself to one of the best ball users in the side. Hibbo isn’t the consistent and reliable player he was when he arrived at the club, but on balance I’d rather have him out there than not right now. Worth noting that Hore was also good when he came on. Defence could be shaping up to be a real strength this season.

Deadset our forwardline would be trash without Fritta.

Bedford and Lockhart are keepers.

No team is better at massacring scoring opportunities than us. No team.

Some of these kicks are worrying. Really untidy.

Definitely not the only one. it’s more nervous excitement this year than in previous years due to the widespread expectation that we will bounce back after last year.

Mate, if Oscar ever becomes an elite defender, your bragging rights will be off the charts. Feels like you’ve been his sole defender on here at times.

Found it interesting that T Mac said they most wanted the ball in the hands of Fritta or Spargo when going inside 50. Spargo could be a dark horse to recement his spot in the 22 this year.

I never said he was alone ?

Me thinks Andy has a tiny man crush.

Apparently it’s also been a “very, very good week for us” according to ol Kane - https://www.sen.com.au/news/2020/02/27/cornes-hails-melbournes-exceptionally-good-week/ He’s the equivalent of a shock jock at best, but I found it interesting him saying leadership groups are overrated. It’s not often you hear that coming from someone who has been inside the inner circle at an AFL club.

On reflection last one looks more like Goody than Jones. Which would mean Jonesy.doesnt make the banner at all. Scandalous.

L to R: Trac, May, Clarry, Jetta, Gawn, Viney, Melksham(?), T Mac, Jones

Love this. Two officially appointed leaders and let other natural leaders show the way. You can see the reverence the players have for Max. In every sense he is the right person to lead the club on and off the field.

This actually gets better with each episode. The best thing the club has done media wise in a very long time. Possibly ever.

I know it’s only pre season but watching Geelong get pumped by the Suns gives me the warm and fuzzies.

CP5. Get around him.

This is some game by Trac.

Perhaps settle down a tad re Weid. It’s a first hit out. Some of the best forwards in the game can’t stick their marks early.

That was good stuff in the pocket from both Spargo and T Mac. Good signs this late in the game.

Nice of T Mac to show up to the game.

Watch them all jump back on board too.

48-45 to Crows. Your favourite player Spargo just missed a gimme. Langdon lining up for goal.

Yep. This is Trac’s year. Lock it and load it.

Absolutely the right call. Hopefully true.
