PaulR

For some reason I got the impression that he’s had to work on knowing when to respect his opponent and stay tight and defensive when he should, despite his natural inclination and talent for zoning off and rebounding. I suspect Sunday will be a very helpful way of showing him this lesson again vs the Lions, as they’ll punish any defensive disrespect in a way the Tigers the following week may not. He seems the type who learns quickly when exposed to humiliation (like most of us). Fascinated to see how he goes.

Harsh on a young player with all of 20 games under his belt. If we play him every week we’ll have a very good player on our hands in a season or two. Has unicorn potential.

Weird seeing Goodwin on the swans bench next to JJ…

Hahahaha

Is it true the Blues have parted with Voss this morning..?

Freo have started both their games so far with intensity, drive and pressure on the opposition. Was a good reminder to our boys as to what the level is in the top 8 and they’ll be better for it. Be interested in seeing data on their (Freos) number of games played Ed together vs ours, as our low numbers (high turnover) dimly required time and games to get cohesion back.

Watching replay, 2nd quarter and Culley is rucking vs Darcy …

I’d play Cully as second ruck, keep Petty in Defense, Roo forward.

Hubris has weakened Judd’s game, be interesting to see if he can get the balance right. He still moves like a cat at times and will have his moments unfortunately.

Hoping the Crows [censored] them.

Judd thinks he’s Windsor… … he’s not.

Cats and GWS showing the middle of the ladder is wide open.

Creep by Radiohead..?

Both Clarry and Hogan are slow and seem unprepared for modern ping pong footy… 🤭

Quick and young it is! Long live the revolution Go Demons.

If AMW is fit and match ready, I’d bring him in for Kolt.

Keen to have Cully in the R1 team, he was in fine form prior to break. Mihocek and Friita clear to play means we’ve no excuses and should be solid up forward. Starting to get excited for Sunday.

Saints polish disappeared under pressure. Reckon they needed some Steele… ;) Interesting 🤨

Probably the bit in the brackets, was where I was going… With Latrelle and Matthew’s last year, we’ve been well covering the area where Barry’s played to date. Humphrey becomes interesting if he can graduate to also playing quality midfield time. Push Trac and others out of the GC midfield even for bursts and he’d be worth a couple of First Round picks.

Hoping they drag it out all season… a couple of false dawns, floggings, … the whole saga. Why should we suffer alone? ❤️🤪💙

With the recruitment of a midsized forward in Paddy Cross, with of May-replacement SSP list pick, I suspect we’ll pass (or were never in the run) on Barry, when he comes home.

Sorry 31, but your Blues are being waltzed around by Grundy! 😂🫣😂
