That bit of play at 1:42 against Callan Ward was sensational.

Disappointed but understandable. Will Turner be good to go? Or do we considering bringing in a more recognised ruck option like Campbell?

6. Gawn 5. Petracca 4. Salem 3. Bowey 2. Petty 1. Lindsay

Jeffo's first goal please! Windsor's goal to open the third quarter was also a cracker!

Argh, that one stings. GWS' transition game opened us up a few too many times and was definitely the key factor in their win. I love watching Toby Greene play, but damn do I hate when he plays against us. As far as the debutants go, I really wasn't expecting that sort of game from XL, especially considering he only had half a pre season. Jeffo took his chances and both of the Werribee lads had some decent moments. I'd expect that all of them hold their spots going into round 2. Here's hoping that Langford gets a full game next week Awesome to see Petracca back doing what he does in the midfield. He looks set for a big season. I thought our defensive trio of Petty, Lever and TMac stood up really well for most of the game. Bowey also played his best game in at least two years. Roo and Fritsch were well held (although Fritsch did a good job negating Taylor for most of the game)

AJ NEARLY joins the club

Lindsay looks like a good one.

Early days, but the debutants don't look out of place. Liking Jeffo's second efforts.

Jefferson Starship with the first!!!

How is Ross Lyon still a coaching gig? His gameplan has been outdated for a decade.

Langford sub is a huge surprise as these conditions would suit him. Really thought Hendersen would've been given the green vest.

Thilthorpe looks ready to explode. Would love him at Melbourne

Great start for Nibbler and the Crows. St Kilda look horrid. Incredibly vanilla football side.

Big game for Kade Chandler after a couple of down practice matches. These conditions will favour smalls, and with Pickett out, he takes on the responsibility of being our no.1 small forward today.

The forecast seemingly has the rain finishing around 2:00. Hopefully conditions dry up quickly.

I've been trying to push the nickname 'Starship' for the last two years to no avail.

Me waiting for the team announcement

Would be a perfect fit in our defense. However, if he was to move, I think he'd be likely to head home to WA.

Rain looking increasingly likely...

To be fair, we had just drafted Jeffo the year before. I think the club has faith that he'll make it at the top level.

That looks like a wrap. Not much to report today!

Agree with the above, definitely not a 'serious' training session today. Plenty of light handball and kicking drills. Everyone looks in good spirits.

Can't see him out there. Might be training with the Casey team now.
