monoccular

I was travelling and (happily as it turns out) unable to watch or listen - absolutely devastated to see the final scores. Is there a simple explanation? Effort? Skills? Game plan? Fitness? What has happened to Frittata? And it has been pointed out the we have lost 7 of our last 8 games! Can’t win with Clarrie and Tracc having their best preseasons

Can anyone honestly swear that having an ex Collingwood player as MRO passes the pub test?

Remind me who is the MRO and who did he play for?

Fantastic clip - looks balanced and calm. Moves with serenity. A massive selection.

Hardly a spear.

As long as he stops sleeping during the match.

.. and the Max and Johnson even more.

Disappointing - and in no way comparable to Lynch's one match for a dangerous shoulder to the head. Will that mean Campbell gets a go?

Young Clayton Oliver’s debut was the one that sticks in my memory.

Is that what happened to Brad Green in that unconscionable vicious assault ignored by the AFL in the 2000 GF?

Surely that is exactly what the “below the knees free kick” is all about. Archer totally innocent.

How did yesterday’s “performance” affect his value to a team? Admittedly only saw snippets but not very impressed

If AJ is suspended as many here seem to believe, does Campbell get a run. Max needs proper support and JVR isn’t the answer.

Looking forward to the podcast as always. It is always bitter sweet after the one that got away, but overall the drive and enthusiasm across the field was a real positive. I felt that all the newbies put in and none seemed overwhelmed - it was actually a very ballsy selection with a view to the near future rather than the more familiar recycling. However a big convincing win over Norf is absolutely essential - they must not be taken lightly.

Had I not just spent weeks in hospital I would of course have been there, rain, hail or shine. Can walk around 40 meters at present. Hope to get there for the Suns game. Scheduling against one of the biggest events on the sporting calendar would never have helped regardless of weather. Didn’t this happen last year too?

????? detail ????

Pity no senior told him to go for the top of the square.

Need a burst from JVR

Who is that cheat in the helmet claiming touched. No way.

Bang bang bang. Now bring it on Fritta

MCG - home to how many teams, pls cricket. KP - one team, dysmorphic shaped ground.

Hip to chin - cost Koz 3 weeks but no doubt nothing to see here.

Not sure about efficiency or possessions but Chandler is covering a hell of a lot of ground

Fantastic aggressive tackle Clarrie.
