BAMF

Thought we looked slow. Good hit out. Would have liked it if a youngster stood up. Looking forwatprd to next week

I was going to say earlier that James Jordan is clearly out of his depth but he has worked his way into the game pretty well.

Indeed. It's a real shame that all the young rucks we have drafted have been busts.

Probably more based off the following. 1. Kent has been traded 2. Hannan is injured 3. Spargo hasn't looked great either.

Disagree.

I thought Hore looked alright myself.

I know it's only JLT but I would drag Frost I'd I was Goody.

Stands out when our defence is butchering the delivery

Frost looking very ordinary

You watching using AFL app? That's the way it is now. They don't give you the full screen

I usually dislike preseason interviews but that was great. Speaks very well. Isn't afraid to voice his opinion. Doesnt stick to the cliches.

It's [censored] isnt it? It has been the modus operandi within the AFL for a number of years now. Anyone remember when Gary Lyons affair became public knowledge? First thing done is say that he has mental health problems and to please respect his privacy. A player at our club has mental health issues and has to take some time away from the game. Said player gets traded to another team first opportunity. AFL report comes out explaining how good their policy is because they have identified x amount of players who are using drugs and either removed them from the game or had them move to another environment. Its just [censored] for the people who do suffer from mental health and have struggled under the stigma of it all for years. Now finally some awareness is going on and the AFL community is using it as a 'dont ask questions' approach.

For those of you like me...

The last quarter of the 2nd Geelong game could fit in there too. I rewatched it the other day and we looked terrible in that quarter. There is no way we should have lost that game from three quarter time. Tempted to throw the saints game in here too. We came back strong in the end and nearly pinched it but we were well outplayed by a team who had struggled all year. Thats 6 games out of 25 where we had patches of terrible form. It's a valid concern he raises. I think this is the year we put this crap behind us.

Gotta love this one. In my news feed yesterday were 2 articles in a row from Nick. 1. Drug use is out of control. 2. Drugs use not an issue when I was captain

Who has said they have him in the best 22?

Yep. Played pretty well from my limited viewing. Composed in the back line. Will be keen to see how he goes in JLT.

I only saw the 2nd half of the 3rd quarter onwards. VDB looks in ripping shape. He was in everything and was the highlight for me. He was in the center bounce a fair bit in the last. He is a sledgehammer. Looked very fit and took it seriously. Lewis played well. I'm hoping a number of players go past him this year but he will be important in the first few rounds while we get other players back up to speed and I'm happy that he is on the list. Sparrow played wing and then moved into the center bounce at times. Physically ready to play and will get game time this year. Looked like a first year player who didn't quite belong yet and didn't seem to position himself that well to get the ball, but when he was in a position to get it he did a lot right. Didn't look clean but he was determined to impact the contest and his second and third efforts were great. Preuss looked good. Clearly not as polished or composed as Gawn. Had the opportunity to kill a bloke in the last 10 minutes and pulled out. I reckon if it was round one he would have smashed the bloke. Will be very interested to see how the two ruck situation will continue over the JLT.

None that were seen or reported on by the commentators.

VDB is a beast.

I'm in again. Same name. Johnny_Utah Once again, thank you for the work you put into this DeeVoted.

I'm not as concerned about goal kicking. It's the forward 50 entries that bothered me last year. If the coaches can drill into them the difference between 'kicking quickly to advantage' and 'bombing it in' we will be cherry ripe. Thanks for the report Saty.

Personally, I voted no as there wasn't a don't care option. I understand that a sponsor will fill that spot and as long as we get money into the club then I don't really care what is in that spot. The fact that it's a dark blue is a bonus imo. Let's get rid of the AFL logo on the other side. Everyone who cares knows it's an AFL jumper.

Oh yes! Love this one. I would also approve of an opposite to this for a clash jumper. Red with a dark blue V. In saying that, our current clash jumpers are the best we have ever had.

Pretty sure I heard Gary Lyon speak about that photo once. For some reason there was hardly any media there that day and that was the only photo that captured it
