Perhaps less underdone than physically exhausted. Kozzie, rivers, bowey, jordon and Sparrow are all really young, so you'd think a short preseason would take its toll. More than for older blokes with 6,7 8 preseasons to fall back on.

Why?

He should make it his ring tone. And get someone to call him whenever he is near Beveridge

Exhibit A, our first goal. Kozzie put a beautiful block on the defender to create enough space for langers to balance and kick. Smart, disciplined and team focused. How many small forwards in the AFL would do that rather than attack the ball and try to score himself (which he would have well been within his rights to do). Similar to the block that set up trac's dribble goal in the GF. Doesn't get a score assist or score involvement. Perhaps a one per center, but no other stat for that play. But I'll bet a million dollars the coaching staff count those pressure acts and that they are one of kozzies kpis.

Yep, fair call.

A sting from losing? Yeah, nah.

Sure. But may is the stay at home defender. Tomo will almost certainly come out if Lever is right.

He literally laughed at the hunter palaver.

Smith out? Are you serious? Zero chance he gets dropped. Won't be surprised if goody gives him.coaches votes. Even the biggest Tomlinson fan would concede Smith is now well ahead of him

Agree. It's almost become a signature move

Anyone still think the blues practice match held any meaning?

Yep. Which will be fine by goody. The story should be that they lost another game to us after being 3 plus goals up. Forget round 17 last year - they are our bunnies. Their system will smash plenty of teams. But is hopeless against us. That's the story. But won't be. I said last year that there is a limit to how effective the whole us against the world palaver Beveridge loves so much actually is. Does he think he can use it to fuel a whole season?

In fact I can barely believe it. Surely a a big fine for bringing the game into disrepute.

Yep. Truly shocking. Woeful for the dogs and will dominate the news about this game now.

Who did harmes tag? Libba?

Rooey: 'It's no longer a clearance game" Bucks; 'The most important stat in footy is post clearance possessions, which demons dominated'

Fascinating game. Just like every other game against them last year EXCEPT the Grannie they let Macrae rack up big numbers and put no time into him. That is one confident move. Keep your powder dry for the finals

Reiwolt on fox just then: 'Dogs won clearances 31 to 20. But it's no longer a clearance game'

Good bump. They have smashed us in clearances. Buy only scored 19 points from them. And will lose by 5 goals. Again Normal reception resumed.

He wouldn't have played a game last year if you applied that logic

Ditto. Such a key player.

They just said it was a knee issue then on fox. Will get scans. From the footage I doubt it is an acl. Looks like a contact injury to a knee that was already strapped.

I'm watching fox and they haven’t even mentioned it during half time. Weird. And on the seven coverage they only mentioned he was off

Unfortunately I do.

What's the Salem update? How bad?
