Woah woah woah, B.Grundy still onfield? Who's been subbed? EDIT: Jordon subbed

Spargo might be a handy inclusion in these conditions.

Pickett's had a shocker, but gee those two goals could be crucial.

Huge moment ROO! Can't underestimate how good that mark is in the wet.

Disposal is still bleh, but this has been a much better quarter

On cue! Hereeeeeeee's KOZZY!

Fortunately bad kicking seems to be contagious.

Smith was impressive that quarter. We're still right in this.

Disposal has been horrid so far.

Casey second to the ball at every instance. Cannot win possession at the moment.

Sorry for the Casey goal drought and Collingwood surge everyone. I tuned in straight after the AMW goal.

Great to see Nev Jetta still running around albeit in the black and white.

Surely a Rising Star nom for JVR tonight?

Didn't mind what I saw from Smith. Clearly needs to get more of the ball but played with more aggression than I thought he was capable of. Made Carlton earn a few hard balls.

Salem was awesome tonight. Was great to see him in full flight running through the middle in the third quarter. Bowey was also great before he was concussed.

Freo play Hawthorn next weekend. Hawthorn get the job done and anything is possible in regards to a top 3-5 pick.

6. Petracca 5. Chandler 4. Oliver 3. Brayshaw 2. Pickett 1. Sparrow

Credit to Tom Sparrow who has copped some heat on here so far this season. I reckon he played a career best game tonight. 23 touches as 87% with 4 tackles and a goal.

Chandler is a jet. Absolutely nailed his role tonight. 20+ touches and 3 goals as a small forward is as elite as you'll see.

Thrilled that we might finally see a Tasmanian team after decades of unsuccessful bids and pleads and get it up and running. Still, I'm unsure why a shiny new stadium is needed to seal the deal, especially reading that it's only going to have a capacity of 25k. Doesn't seem worth it to me. Why not use a fraction of the funding for the new stadium and use it to redevelop Bellerive Oval instead?

Absolutely cracker of a contest at the moment. Crucial 1 on 1's everywhere.

Impressive by the Bombers so far. Collingwood struggling to move the ball quickly.

Fair to say the opposition isn't much chop, but Bailey Humphrey looks a real talent.

Stickiest hands I've seen for a while from a mid-sized forward.

Also, it pains me to admit it, but full credit to Essendon. Their pressure around the footy was unbelievable. They completely suffocated our ball movement and scoring ability.
