Weideman started well. Wish him all the very best. Genuinely hope he has a good career at Essendon.

Genuinely shocked our Sydney game is on Sunday. Surely deserves prime time.

Kysaiah Pickett on report
Gut feel is that Kosi gets 3, down to 2 with an early plea. He could not have picked a worse time to do what he did given the AFL is currently facing not one but two lawsuits for concussion negligence.

How close are Gawn/Oliver/Petracca to Cox/Judd/Cousins ?
Gawn, as an individual, has to be one of the greatest ruckman to ever take the field. He is just a freak and a unique player who does things nobody his height has any right to do. And has been a pillar of consistency for 6 seasons now. IMO he is better than Cox. As a unit, only more flags/ a Brownlow will make it a discussion. Eagles were more successful with those 3 than we have been to date. That could still change.

Does Kade make the grade, or will it be Chandlermonium
Absolutely played his role. Needs to polish the finishing in front of goal, but otherwise he worked hard and smart. He plays taller and bigger than he actually is and had some really good wins in the contest. He is one guy who worked really hard on his craft for a long time and has been very patient. Really happy for him and would love him to stay in the starting 22.

PREGAME: Rd 02 vs Brisbane
We just won’t make 4 unforced changes. We never have. Goodwin seems hell bent on not repeating the mistakes of last year and grinding our best players into the ground. We have to be fit come finals. No point finishing second and bombing out in straight sets again because half our squad can’t get out of bed, let alone play 120 minutes of finals intensity footy. It is early in the season and we have depth and plenty of kids desperate to play. None of the debutants disgraced themselves yesterday and both Chandler and Tomlinson had wonderful games. No point rushing 4 underdone players in for round 2. If it’s a final, sure, but it’s round 2.

The only reason Dogs got back in the game in the second quarter is because Clarry and Kosi were stuck on the bench for around 8 minutes. The minute those two came back on and the legendary combo of Clarry, Trac and Gawny went into the middle, it was all over for the Dogs. These 3 do not fail

The AFL match review panel has always been about outcome not intent… until a Melbourne player is involved. I hope we fight whatever we get if it’s more than a week based on precedence, and also to show Kosi we will support him to the ends of the earth (so he signs on!).

He’s a Melbourne player. Will get 25 to life. Buddy will get a bravery medal.

POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs
A great win when you consider we were missing our best defender, best forward and third best midfielder. Really happy with what we got from McVee and Chandler (Laurie didn’t disgrace himself either!), and hats off to Tomlinson. He was absolutely the player we saw in 2021. Oliver and Gawn are literal freaks. Gawn is Benjamin Buttoning his career. Just gets better and better with age and if the only thing Grundy does is prolong Gawny’s career by 2 years, he’s been worth every cent. Gawn is a giant of this game. Literally and figuratively.
