Good few goals but those injuries could trouble us over the next few weeks

With the Hawks low score this could be a good percentage game if we can get some flow going

Went from way ahead on most stats at quarter time to near even. Lucky that the Hawks couldn't put any scoreboard pressure on. Need a better third quarter

That got ugly quickly

Definitely not. They have some young A listers and a good coach. I can't get a handle on Freo. In 2022 it looked like they were on the way to battling for a top 4 spot in 2023 but it's been all downhill

A regulation win coming up. The following three weeks probably decides if we can finish top 4 The Petty experiment is beyond me but I believe Goodwin is taking a punt on an easy win tomorrow

Their corridor game is almost non existent in this match

10 odd entries for a point

The reverse sub makes a degree of sense Fingers crossed no injuries to a running player as I'm not sure what you would do

Assume that Jefferson will play forward this week

What happened to Bell. He was a more than serviceable ruck

Darcy in for Lobb at the Dogs. Our backline claims another scalp Oskar B also gets a recall

Suns should have that easily. Dogs backline is woeful

A lot of potentially one sided games this weekend. Crows v Cats probably the hardest on paper but of course upsets happen

The good news is that a better team would be taking the Pies apart

Lovely typical Pies supporter hanging over the fence

Three relatively lucky goals to Collingwood 😓

What a terrible start by the Saints

At the time there was a lot of open space once you got to Ferntree Gully/Wellington Road Getting there and across Springvale Rd might have been a challenge

Yes ... it was to be a spur line from Glen Waverley station

Not a good selection Assuming he's a sub he either comes on early due to injury and he's underdone or he comes on for the last quarter in which case it doesn't give him match practice. Reminds me of Salem's early return in 2022 They could of course do a reverse sub with him playing the first half and BBB the second Very strange

Did have the looks of a legging but I'm not complaining

What kind of fixture gives a team an away game followed by a home game at Ballarat as their first two matches? (The same one that gave us two consecutive games in Adelaide against SA teams.) I should no longer be surprised

Straight up the middle rebound with the occasional angle Turnover and rebound is how we win plus accuracy on goal

Very impressed by BBB's ground coverage against the Dogs. Took some marks on HFF and I saw him competing on the defensive goal line. Saturday is much cooler. I was disappointed in Fritsch's game until I noticed that he was taking the number 1 defender. Wonder how the Hawks will approach the allocation of defenders
