Has Tmac shown enough to usurp Brodie??

He looks like someone who hasn't played a game of football for three months.

In all seriousness, he's competed ok in the air and ruck. Our inside 50's haven't helped.

Dunstan’s stats line looks impressive. 

Any chance next week?

Can he play as a key forward?

Beautiful coast to coast play.

Mark and goal to 'Starship' Jefferson.

The cupboard is bare... If Goodwin couldn't have seen our forward decline a few years back... Not exactly doing his job

 

We have forward depth, but it's not Goody's fault that we've been decimated with injury issues in that part of the ground. TMac, Fritsch, Brown and Petty have all spent time on the sidelines this season. 

JVR and Jefferson are still raw but have promising futures. 

Adams has been impressive

Ned Cahill with a Kingsley like performance so far with four goals for the half.

Nice piece of play from Jefferson who bullets a pass to Buntine who brings it back to 14 points.

Harmes caught holding the ball in the centre and the Blues with an opportunistic goal.

this is not just a form slump for James Harmes anymore. he looks beyond cooked...

Seems completely devoid of confidence at the moment.

Spargo involved all over the ground. Kicking goals, linking up in the midfield and spoiling opposition forwards at the moment.

Kynan Brown drops a sitter but recovers well.

Spargo opens Casey's account for the day after taking a nice mark.

I know everyone's talking about the score review, but what about Salem's miss minutes earlier? He should've slotted that with no issue.

First game that I'll be in attendance since ANZAC Eve. Excited!

From what I've seen in the VFL so far this season, 'Starship' has a good pair of hands, a big leap and a reliable set shot. However, physicality and defensive pressure is definitely something he'll be working on during the off season which is nothing to be ashamed about considering his inexperience.

Still, he's kicked 21.14 from 16 VFL games so far this season which is a decent effort for a first year tall forward.

Pending improvement and opportunity, I could definitely see a Woewodin type situation where he's given a taste of senior action for 3-4 weeks sometime next season before he hopefully pushes for regular senior selection in '25.

Terrible result for us

Not really. We end up in second on the ladder to finish the round while pick 4 from Freo is still in play.

What a goal from Frederick!!! Lions still lead by 2 points

1:09 left.

Hibberd was quality after he came on for Petty. Definitely deserves a full game next week against the dangerous Carlton smalls.

Out: Harmes, Petty 

In: Oliver, Tomlinson

Joel Smith to play forward if Petty is cooked.

6. Petracca

5. Gawn

4. Hunter

3. ANB

2. Brayshaw

1. Chandler

Great fightback. Nothing is coming easy to anyone at the moment. North came out all guns blazing and we slowly but professionally worked our way back into the match 

Hope Petty's injury isn't too serious.

The equation is simple.

Win tomorrow, and 2nd position on the ladder is ours.

The wheels seem to be falling off both Collingwood and Port in recent weeks. Injuries and form are starting to take their toll as they did for us last season.

That could be season done for Murphy. Been a key player in defence for Collingwood this year.

EDIT: N.Daicos also out with a knee concern it seems...

Is Fritta the last to kick six for us two years ago?

Certainly has happened this year.

Pickett in the N.T last year against Port

It can't be understated how impressive Jake Melksham has been in the absence of Bayley Fritsch.

He's gone from a surefire delist at seasons end to warranting another contract for 2024.

I'm sure JB would agree that Trent 'Jared' Rivers was very good tonight.
