P-man

Part of the Pick 2 trade in the Josh Kelly draft. Essentially Tyson/Salem for pick 2.

Bruce is even pronouncing Salem’s name properly.

Yes Bully boy

Oh wow we got a 50/50 call.

Said it before but Hore has been a seriously great pick up.

Gus and Fritsch have been poor but everyone else is looking pretty sharp. We’re in this up to our necks.

Holy [censored] this is some amazingly one sided umpiring.

God damn it. That was a duck every day of the week.

Yes great play boys.

Hooray they missed one.

Ugh, these chances.

I challenge anyone to name a more frustrating side to watch. I dare them. I double dare them.

Familiar tale.

We should be at least three goals up. Do not burn these chances ffs.

It’s not just between the ears. Everything that can be wrong his technique is wrong. The way he holds the ball, the height from which he drops the ball, the way he leans back. Everything.

Jesus Christ. His technique is absolutely horrendous.

Jonesy ?

No offence to you, but it’s absurd to think that no-one in the FD reviewed that game. It’s just not realistic. There are degrees of review, but to think it wasn’t reviewed at all is crazy.

Game hasn’t even started and Ling is already broadcasting his ignorance perpetuating the myth that the prelim final wasn’t reviewed.

I have my third positive feeling going into a game for the year. The previous two have been Sydney and Hawthorn so I’m looking to keep a 100% strike rate. I was nervous going into last week and the performance justified it. No Melksham will make it tough but Preuss and Bull Smith being the strongest performers in the VFL gives me hope that we can cobble something together which will see an improvement on our 33% inside 50 conversation rate. Whether or not we win, I have a feeling we’ll be more competitive than is widely expected. If we do win, it will be the best win of the Goodwin era given our injury list.

You seem to be absolving Clarry of blame. Clearly this is not all about our dysfunctional forwardline. Look at his kicking on the weekend. It was atrocious, as it often is if we’re going to call a spade a spade. The guy is a jet and does have the ability to kick well, but the continual throwing it on the boot and hoping for the best has to end at some point. It’s not working.

Well, I just watched the replay. Hard to know what to say about what I just witnessed. It’s actually amazing that we have 3 wins playing like hot garbage. There were culprits everywhere but Stretch and Oliver in particular should be embarrassed by some of their ball use in the forward half. Absolutely ridiculous for AFL players to be kicking the ball like that. We now have the worst conversion from inside 50s since the stat has been collected. If historians ask how that happened, they need only watch a replay of that game. Shameful. Fix up the skills for god’s sake.

We can’t ever lose him. “Except for Salem” is an important element of “we have no-one who can kick except for Salem”.

I was watching Endgame while this was on. Sounds like I missed a classic. 4 points is 4 points?
