I reckon Terlich, Clisby and Strauss are kinda fighting for that half back spot at the minute, Terlich is probably ahead but Clisby played well last night.

Dom Tyson alone is as good or in my opinion a better prospect than Kelly, kelly is so much like Scully it's insane, his only real asset is his endurance which isn't above average at AFL level, might be a solid 200 gamer but Tyson has the makings of being the next simon black

I loved how Big Jakey Spencer was in there too, Stevie J was smiling but i reckon it was pretty hollow, would have needed new undies pretty quick.

I am a big believer that it takes a quarter of a season of actual games for a new gameplan to start to become autonomous, i think alot of players get the ball at the moment and think they need to kick it to a bloke who can mark just so it slows the game down, this sometimes seems to mean kicking to strange places

Who do people rate higher, Clisby or Strauss?

What about Geourgiou, tempted to play Dunn as a half forward and keep him in even when Garland is back?

I reckon we really missed Chip, if he was in he'd take Hawkins, Mcdonald then moves to Brown and the backline is abit more solid

Just on your first point, i think the boys are encouraged to go slow and be patient because they don't have the option of kicking high to the big talls, and no real crumbers, so i'm not concerned by that, it's more the skill errors we need to iron out, but we are certainly not easy beats anymore, reckon we will beat the Saints round 1

Rooster needs to make sure the players know near enough isn't good enough we had an opportunity to win and didnt so despite a great effort we shouldn't celebrate

How long is left?

Running out the game really well

Almost 100 more disposals than Geelong.

Couple of goals here we might make the cats abit jittery.

Jack Viney would be handy out there, his break away speed from a stoppage is a huge asset

Anyone want a positive, Bernie Vince! Adelaide will be wondering where this form was last year.

It's abit easier to see that from behind a computer than out in the middle of the battle with Geelong having their tails up, i get it's frustrating but a young team is always going to make errors, the important thing is we have competed, shown alot of good signs and haven't allowed them to blow us away

They have got to do something about that rule, why do you get fined for staging but not for deliberately ducking to gain a free kick?

We really need this, we need a good team to put us under the pump, we will learn more from how we respond now than any other situation we could be in

we are costing ourselves not being outplayed, that's a huge positive, Geelong are opportunistic, if we don't make this many mistakes we probably win this game.

They have a run on, this is where we find out how far we've come, do we fight back or get blown away?

It's quite amazing really, last year we lost to GWS, now we're seriously challenging Geelong with alot of our guns out and people still aren't happy

Dom Tyson is going to be an absolute superstar, between him and Salem pick 2 was a steal.

What's the go with Trenners? injured? bench? just not getting a touch?

Bernie Vince is going to prove to be a huge pickup! racking up the touches again!

Geelong are a top 4 quality team and we are matching them imo in most areas, the difference in polish is just incredible, but we will get that in time, the direction and game plan is there though, first time in 5 years.
