The heart beats true

Watching the reply now on Kayo. I like the look of Bowey.

Yep, this season is a really good example of how important consistent intensity is.

I hope the boys are calling him Princess Charlotte at training.

‘Floats around the field like a fern frond’ is mind-blowingly good.

My least favourite thing about Derm (and it’s a long list) is that he talks all over the female hosts on Fox. He does it so consistently it’s embarrassing. You can tell they hate working with him.

I really like Spargo as he plays to his limitations, and every player in front of him knows it. He’s the most consistent ball user we have (in that he’s almost exclusively going to kick it 15-30 metres), and I think the forwards love it because they lead to him. They go hard and early and he honours the lead every time. I think he’s been fantastic this year.

It was great wasn’t it? He spoke with real care about him and I think it showed terrific leadership. I actually thought when Gawn took a clutch mark early in the last and kicked it perfectly to TMac, who also took a great mark, that we have some real on field leaders this year. They do the hard things when it matters.

Welcome Bags. I think this is my big takeaway from being a part of this forum, particularly this year. So many seem desperate for us to fall in a massive hole - so they can say ‘I knew it’, closely followed by ‘of course this would happen to me’. There’s a really strange psychology to some of this thinking and it’s a fascinating insight into how some people approach life. It’s not inherently wrong, just different - but is must be emotionally draining. Thankfully the players are fiercely competitive, and don’t read forums.

We were fantastic. The intensity, the skill, the teamwork. Proud night for the footy club. But… i’m still in a bit of shock from that last quarter. Port literally tried nothing to win the game in the last. They didn’t take the game on at all, and they refused to go down the middle. It was bizarre. Why lose by 6 goals? Take it on. Strange.

They are coming!

I know you all know this, because you all feel the same… BUT GEES I LOVE THIS FOOTY CLUB.

I like that holding the ball doesn’t apply to Motlop

Oh I still remember that. That was a dark day in Australian Rules.

I’m really proud of the intensity the boys showed in that half. They need to keep it up, but it’s the kind of intensity that really builds confidence.

The local free kick right on halftime

Apologies to the neighbours again! I Am Pumped!

Apologies to my neighbours but gees I loved that goal!

Elite tackling Petracca

So we just need to complain at the umpires a f the realise they are kicking it 8 metres each time. surely it doesn’t take whinging does it?

This umpiring is a disgrace. Brown marked the ball!

That was a 50 penalty for Hunt. You can’t come over the mark like that. Ridiculous

I know because I was swearing at the TV and then realised it was only 10 minutes ?

I think we started well, and I’m really glad we got reward for effort as I thought we were the better team. The game style against us is now obvious. Short chip kicks through the zone. Try and tire us out defending. Makes our stoppage work super important.

Was only the last 10 minutes that stat ?

Centre work has been elite the last 2
