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?

Don’t know what to expect after the first two games. Carlton/Richmond were scrapping ugly at both ends of the ground and Collingwood/Geelong were running each other off their feet in a reckless shootout. Just happy with a win and no injuries.

Predicts us for top of ladder and Clayton Oliver for Brownlow. Collingwood to dump out of the 8. Does she deserve a Demonland rehabilitation? https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/why-i-m-tipping-collingwood-to-miss-the-eight-caroline-wilson-s-afl-season-crystal-ball-20230310-p5cqzw.html

I did but all gone. I ended up buying a GA ticket as well. I don’t really care much for a seat. I am just as happy standing if I’m on my own. During the GF I left my seat and watched the whole game standing from the ends we were kicking to.

Just found my Email. Tried now to redeem but all gone. System sucks bad.

Mitch Brown and Weid did a very solid job rucking in our win against Adelaide late in the season. Jackson would not have been missed if one of those two were playing second ruck. Goodwin’s IMO was far too [censored] with selections last season and wouldn’t trust his depth or developing players to step up. Only made changes when forced but kept playing injured and out of form players.

The profit and loss sheet might look good but the speculation and his indifferent form last season somewhat help derail our core business which was focused on going BTB.

Now also a passing resemblance to Tmac in appearance to go with their goofy smiles and awkward playing style. Thankfully there are still numbers to differentiate them.
