2nd qtr ❌ getting smashed at the clearances 12-18 and losing contested footy 30-39 ❌giants switched on. Pressure acts ❌ who’s on kelly. Ffs he’s killing us ❌ oliver Viney brayshaw are having zero influence ❌ a goalkicking tall forward !!! Give me Ben Brown now ✅ gawn salem May lever ✅ Anb goal SPARROW goal goody??? ? I think we do need a Ben Brown NOW ? Giants have extra man at contest and we have may behind the ball. That’s a defensive mindset ? kozzzzzy. STAY INSIDE 50 ffs !!!

Urgency. Intensity 1/10

Ditto ditto

1st 9-14 x missing targets inside 50. Bombing in. Langdon Viney Harmes etc 17 inside 50s 1 goal x umps - greene free and goal x Spargo too slow x clearances 3-9 ✅salem May lever - our defence

❌umpiring. Greene dropped his knees

❌ kick inside 50 is CRAP. Bombing in !!! Got a f target

Mumford is a thug

I heard Mac Andrew has discipline issues. I heard he has anger issues. I heard he has a drinking problem. Is that enough to create the “don’t draft him Jack darling” stigma !!

Agree Toby G is the danger man. Hibbo probably gets first crack at shutting him down.

9c and wild wet windy conditions. 8 or 9 goals will probably win today.

Thanks. Jonesy was BOG last week. I am hopeful he can regain a spot in our best 22

Assume Jonesy is medic sub

Wtf. Port v Dees should be a Friday night blockbuster. Screwed up again.

Cats make bombers look very average Dees made hard work on beating the bombers Cats masters of the little flick pass. Hawkins shows value of a real power forward Dangerfield back to his best. Watch out.

It’s a no from me.

Thanks. I think we were also catching on prior skips of prior years ? 2017 and 2018

Add Brayden Fiorini back to the list. For some reason, he’s on the fringe at the Suns. Against the Tigers last night, he played an excellent game on the wing. Contested footy and outside run. Really got involved and won some key contests in the last quarter. I think he’s under contract but worth asking a question at year end. At 23, perhaps his best footy is ahead of him.

Agree. Both midfields ( inside and outside ) have excellent players and at full strength.

Step 1. Clone Step 2. Brayden Maynard Step 3. Trent Rivers (though I like him as a runner and an attacking defender) Step 4. Another special assignment for JT.

I think Bowey needs the full year in Casey. He needs another 1-2 years of footy and in the gym. I’d like to see him as a wingman who can deliver into forward 50. I agree that his skill is definitely on show already.

Agree. Keep Jonesy as sub for next week

✅Ben Brown. Jonesy. Melksham. Turner. Vandenburg. I definitely would like to see Brown in a for solid block of games. At least 4 weeks and see how the forward lines gels.

Jack Viney. Bloody legend imv

a scrappy affair. Happy to bank the four points and move on ✅ May and Lever. Though they shouldn’t have been needed We rely too much on them ✅ Viney back Love his attack on the footy ✅ Trac giving to the bombers fans ? ❌ fumbles and turnovers Not a quality performance ❌goalkicking was poor Too many misses that could be costly in other games ❌ a tall forward to go to when it gets tough …a tall forward demanding the footy (Hawkins, Dixon, Lynch, Josh J Kennedy) time to trial BBB no matter for minimum 3 weeks ? The zone defence It invites a skilled team to pick it apart. The bombers were too slow and erratic The pies play on game had us worried the worry still exists ? Kozzy. I love ya but I’d love to see him play inside the 50 arc more and be that dangerous forward. ? Clarry. Overhandballing. I loved the run and kicking game of 6-7 weeks ago. The little handballs to someone under pressure is starting to creep back in
