Jackson had an easy ride developing in Max Gawn’s slipstream and our powerhouse midfield. Looks like he was expecting the same easy ride at Freo off Darcy and crew. Mundy is now gone and Fyfe is burned out, tall forward woes are desperate and Jackson for the first time as an AFL player is under real pressure to deliver for the club.

And a banged up Fyfe as well who will play as a key forward when he gets on the park.

They hoped Jye Amiss would step as a key forward this season but is looking like Sam Weideman lite at this stage. 3 touches and no scores. Same as for Treacy, a bull with the presence of a calf. Last week 3 touches, one goal.

Max can sign autographs on their moon boots or crutches and take selfies comparing dickie knees for compensation. A medical visit to remember.

On observation of his playing character he would walk and talk like the injury is no big deal. I hope the scans agree.

I hope it was a wake up call. Last season we got to 10 wins in a row but we gradually atrophied away to getting there and we were never a great side from then on. Hopefully like getting a monkey off our backs.

Has anyone play a worse 37 disposal game 149 AF points game?

Round one was too easy, we played like it was going to be the same game.

Sure looks that way.

I was thinking that last weeks win was too easy. We are playing that way.

3 contested makes in 9 quarters of football. That is ugly.

Oliver’s last three kicks to unmarked Brisbane players.

Oliver playing as bad as his haircut.

Ashcroft is the new Duckwood.

Worst first quarter we have played since 2020. We looked off even before Gawn went off. Smashed in clearances, stoppages and contested marks.

Poor old Jack. Yesterdays headline grabber and just an average Joe today. I hope he is doing well.

One of life’s mysteries that may never be explained.

May in for Petty. Petty to replace TMac.

Christian should be suspended for discombobulation of the MRP rules. He does it all the time. How could Kozzie’s hit be considered high impact when Smith barely noticed it? Just another shocker from him.

No, Oliver is a powerhouse but Melksham’s form was a bit dodgy at the time. Didn’t do his chances any good to keep his place in the team at the time.

Jake Melksham did the same near the end of 2021 against Adelaide. He got dropped after that and it could have ruined his chance of playing in a premiership.

Luke Jackson was great in support of Gawn again but I don’t like his new look with the man bun.

Is Mark Neeld coaching WC?
