I thought this rule would hurt Max but maybe it might help a bit, going to interesting watching how it plays out but I love the rule the only rule I hate is the stand rule and hope they get rid of it and revert back that if a player moves of the mark they can move sideways to have an even chance.

Well there were a lot of good and some bad, but I loved the fact they took it on and they were better for it, it showed when you allow players a chance to show some flair they are better for it, I was a little concerned in the last quarter they start reverting back to the old style for a bit but then got going again, you can see how May kept the backline together as Lever was all at sea, Salem does some good things but undoes everything in one hit, but it is going to take a little while to bed this gameplan down and we will cop some hidings along the way but it will get better once they learn not to allow the opposition too much freedom but I am still amazed at coaches allows the opposition loose players across the backline but then again that's today's football.

When is a coach going to decide not allow the switch of the ball across the half back line to uncontested players shut it down, man up for god's sake.

Heard that before, but in saying that Wonder if Oliver is still into bikes in Sydney...

The only rule i hate is the stand rule the ruck rule and the free kick between the arcs is ok.

I cannot understand you have that many coaches in a coaching box, and not one person would say, "Let's man up a bit" in the forward line. The Pies' rebound off the backline is their strength, allowing guys like Daicos and Pendlebury to be able to run free. It is just stupidity. I'm sure sides will address it sooner rather than later.

Trac was mainly playing between the arcs, you play him the same as Dacios you just sit on them go where they go...

I have said this since I started following footy, as it allows me to look at things a little deeper. After the first 6 rounds, some sides are a little slower to start, while others burst out of the blocks. The competition studies ball movement from the clubs and reacts to it. After that, you get a good idea.

Picket Fence to do a nude run around the MCG at half time when Jeffo kicks 4 goals in a half against the pies....

Thanks.

Just a question can we still recruit a player if we have any player goes on the long term injury list.

Well, if it's the best for him, no problem. He has served the club well since joining us and was a pivotal player in the backline for us. Well done, and may your next journey be a great one for you.

All CJ has to do is learn to slow down when kicking my concern his kicking style he puts a lot of hight on it.

He will become a better asset and a missing cog his foot passing skills will enable Brodie, Kentfield, and Roo to run on to the ball instead of bomb it in.

Well, this is going to be an up-and-down season until they fully nail the gameplan. The top teams will expose us on the turnover until they tidy up the defence. CJ has terrible disposal caused by rushed kicking when he can just slow down with it and can get out of position early. Howes panics when under pressure but will get better during the year. The good news is that there is a bit to like; forward entries are a hell of a lot better than the last few years as they seem to be trying to look for someone in a better position. The overlap was chalk and cheese compared to the last four years, and as they get fitter, it's going to be fun watching us do what sides have done to us. Shame about Kentfield; he, Roo, and Brodie will change the dynamics a fair bit, allowing Fritta, Kossie, and co. freedom to roam around. All in all, a great start, but we will soon find out how far we have come.

Well you must be easly aroused then....

It was an accident full stop.

Ah the past always comes back.....

It isn’t basketball what they need to do is stop the holding on arms around the neck etc another over reaction from the AFL to please the media won't take long to change it.

That's where they eat curry the night before, and the they run...

NoNothing in it..

Next week should see a bit better of a tightened game plan, still too many skills errors by hand and foot, but then again that's a work in progress. My only concern is they will get caught out on the switch of play by better clubs, but it was good to see better movement of the ball. It was interesting watching Moose in the ruck; gee, there are some really good signs there. He will get better as the year goes on.
