Random Task

Reid is out for the year with injury, perhaps Kelly will play his only good game in 3 years and beat us?

Jefferson in, Petty to the backline. Don't really care about the rest.

We were linked with Ryan Angwin last year before he signed a two year contract. Hasn't had many opportunities but has played the last 5 games and starting to look comfortable at senior level averaging 18.5 disposals. Plays wing and half back, is tough and a good kick. If he falls out of favour again or wants to return to vic I'd be asking the question. Giants have form of not letting contracted players go however so might be one for next year.

Neither Toby Sinnema nor Kalani White got an invite to the National combine. The AFL website states Kalani while be attending the state combine with further details of other invitees to be released in August. Demon NGA player, yet unavailable for priority selection, Tairon Ah-Mu got a national invite. 2025's most wanted: Draft Combine nominees revealed - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1377000

My only hesitation with Lever to North would be how threadbare our defensive stocks will be going forward. McDonald likely gone this year, if not next at the latest, and can't see May going beyond 2026. Petty and Turner would form our two main defensive posts. That leaves Adams, Cat-B rookie Berry (who hasn't played footy in 8-9years), and perhaps Derkson, all untried at AFL level as our back up and/or 3rd key tall. What could we realistically ask for him, considering he is a contracted key position player with leadership they're in desperate need for? Any chance for a future 1st? Dreaming probably. But not sure a pick in the mid to late 20s is going to improve our list this year in a weak draft.

I was at the game with two mates that are Saints fans. Both wanted us to [censored] them so Ross would be closer to getting the boot. Funny how things work out.

Well that was an unpleasant experience. I knew we would lose when we conceded the first 3 goals of the final quarter. So predictably pathetic. Something needs to change.

In the pre-game thread people were asking about how to use their online membership to get access... is this a replacement home game for us?

He definitely burnt a few team-mates with a couple of his goals.

Stats have been a bit sketchy for a while. Lot of tackles missed I've noticed. Laurie had 2 in the first 5 minutes that weren't registered.

Bit of a stalemate that quarter. Jefferson impressive but should have had at least another 2-3 goals to his name to truly represent his performance. Sharp bobbing up late to hit the scoreboard. Kentfield not getting a lot of it but looks so impressive when he runs and jumps at the ball. Near unstoppable in the air and hands rock solid. Billings probably best on, hardie having a huge game and Campbell an absolute warrier. If we didn't have Gawn he would be playing firsts.

Agree with nearly all these comments but Jeffos marking has been a highlight this game save for his dropped mark in the first quarter. Clunked some impressive ones.

El jefe again with the strong mark!!! Another miss sadly, could have been a huge day for him

Another smother to Jefferson and another snap miss

Jeffo shows some pace and laces out Kentfield for his 3rd. Or was it his 2nd, I've lost count

Small bugbear of mine in terms of coverage. Would be nice if the first ball up and 5 seconds post wasn't obscured with the lingering graphic they have during the breaks.

Tholstrup, Laurie and Sharp less prominent in that quarter. Billings continuing his white hot form and is everywhere. Adams looking solid in defence, mentha a few touches and looks a smooth mover but some targets missed. Jefferson presenting strongly and defending the ground ball with intent. Missed a couple of opportunities which could have seen him with 5 goals to half time. Goes in with 2.3 Kalani a few nice touches but otherwise not overly involved, probably on limited minutes compared to most and is in a stacked forward line of Johnson, Jefferson, kentfield Duursma kid can kick

Jeffo with another smother and snaps 35 out hitting the post.

Kentfield looks awesome in the air, floats across the front of the pack to take a solid grab 10 metres out directly in front, converts the set shot.

Kynan Brown getting busy this quarter, misses to the left on that set shot.

Kalani with his first touch of the day, marking it on the wing. Billings bursts through the 50 evading a couple opponents and converts the goal. Billings looking sharp in front of goal recently

Laurie strolls in for his first for the day.

Laurie finds top 5 draft hopeful duursma on the angle kick who lasers a kick to Jeffo who takes another strong mark, misses his 2nd this quarter.
