You can tell when we're off. Double grabbing loose balls and inviting pressure. Slow predictable ball movement. So frustrating to watch.

This team can never just let us relax comfortably.

Afl website stating some players and staff are classified as tier 1 contacts and will have to isolate for 14 days regardless of result. Thankfully none of the Melbourne staff seem caught up in this. Clubs listed as staff or players potentially exposed are Collingwood, essendon, GWS, North, St kilda, Sydney, Hawthorn and Bulldogs. Maybe Hawthorn might have some late outs tonight.

Don't think their kidneys would pass medical testing.

Poor bloke has to play for Hawthorn, surely that's punishment enough. Also we turfed him and brought in Langdon as a result, I want to know where to send the gift basket.

Was about to support Richmond winning, then i saw the mug on Riewoldt and Lynch. Cannot do it.

Fortune favours van the brave den south australia berg.

Long way to go but Noah Yze is potentially one to keep an eye out for. Currently playing U15s for Ashburton where he has kicked 23 goals in 7 games. Would be eligible for father/son selection in the 2024 draft if he shows sufficient talent for AFL.

I'd be surprised if he went top 10 based on the few games I've seen him play, looks incredibly raw and will take a number of years before he may or may not make the grade. Big risk for an early pick. Might be an indication of the quality of the draft if he goes that early. Perhaps we'll trade into next year's draft and back in development of last year's recruits. Still, there a lot to play out before draft time. He's not in the conversation for the high end picks like Daicos, Horne, Callaghan or Darcy so could go anywhere from pick 5 through to the 4th round.

Suns really need to change their jumper design if they want to be taken seriously. Hideous.

Both Lever and Langdon we were reportedly keen on during their draft year. We obviously kept tabs on them and got into their ear for the better part of a season, if not longer, to bring them across. It's also widely known that tried to trade our future first to target Butters I the draft but had no takers. Just hoping that he's one we're tracking and having a quiet word to lure him back across whether it be in a season or twos time or later. Have no idea on his contract status and Port are stubbornly efficient at keeping vic kids the don't want to lose so it's more wishful thinking than anything.

I'm hoping Butters is our new slow burn recruit ala Lever and Langdon.

You're weird. I like it.

Unless he was injured it seems the MFC earmarked Ben Brown to come into the team with his limited game time. Bowey is in great form and would love to see him in the side but hard to displace someone in the back half. Unlikely to debut in a high pressure 8 point game against Port either. Wouldn't be surprised to see Melksham given another run. He may not be the player he was in 2018 but he is just about the best person we've got to deliver into forward 50.

6. Lever 5. Salem 4. May 3. Fritsch 2. McDonald 1. Gawn

Not going to throw the baby out but geez that was an ordinary performance with selective intensity. Lever May and Fritsch and Gawn about the only ones that can hold their heads high, T-Mac as well save for his shots on goal. Just about everyone [censored] the bed when it came to goal kicking today. How many snaps skewed off the boot that should have been routine kicks? Midfield needs some serious work. It's been an issue for a while now and our defence has limited the damage but its going to cost us finals if we don't work it out.

How does the saying go? Relax, we've got this?

Think we're all hoping for a freo win then

Tiger players having a sook to the umpires after the siren and fans booing the result sum up the class of that club. Think all non-richmond fans are celebrating that result. As an aside, Gold Coast should strongly consider redesigning their jumper.

Yep, time for someone to take him camping with some co-eds.

Largely injury related with BB was it not? Had knee issues all throughout last season then had surgery or a procedure done during our pre-season in Feb.

You're still going far too early on this Dr. D. The draft is 5 months away. For reference, in Cals 2020 September form update he had Errol guldon at 15, Jack Carrol at 18 and Zane Trew at 21. They ended up at 32, 41 and 12 in the rookie draft respectively. In his December update just a few weeks from the draft, he had Zavier Maher at 25, he missed out completely.

Looked a great size and composed. Has a great opportunity to learn off May and Lever to give himself the best chance at making it.
