Wow. We were hard as nails from start to finish. That was a great game and win.

Was Max Heath injured in the last play of the day.???? Was down for a while. He played very well.

The AFL needs to bite the bullet and take over the Academy system with all players going into the draft. The kids after all are being given the chance at AFL and salaries will only increase. You post highlights how much clubs were disadvantaged by the bidding system. Slipping back reduces clubs points value for trading purposes as well as taking key players out of the draft. Giving the bottom 5 sides picks after the 1st round makes it tougher for teams finishing 13 to get quality players to make the 8.

Sometimes we need one of these

Evidently his dog stood on his foot. Backed up then stood on it again. Kingy has banned the pooch from the rooms and training. Any way it is what is and we just have to work around it.

If they removed the 'odour eaters' the shoes would be safe. Safer than triple deadlocks on doors.

Hi GW, great reporting and posts as usual. Plenty of interest in what you have to say and player updates are appreciated. Looking forward to Luker playing. It will be interesting to see who comes in for Cross and CJ - its wait and see.

Cross was involved with 3 goals. One himself, a tough ball get and handball to Chandler for a goal. A lone effort to spoil a mark against 3 defenders leading to a goal. He would be hard to drop.

Corey kicked 3 goals today as a bottom ager. Marcus Prasad 2 goals. Corey listed in best players. It will be a disgrace if the AFL decide Tassie gets a free kick with this one. According to Rookie me DOB 22nd May 2009. So 17 in May this year. 2027 draft by the looks of it. If he goes early it will be hard to get the points.

Is he eligible for the 2027 draft?

Might well be just a temporary loss of form that heaps of AFL players go through from time to time.

Riv got an extremely loy time in ground in Round 1 of 58%. Not sure why. 82% in round 2 with little impact. But most of the team had subdued impact. He might be back next game?

We copies what Lyonsaid the Saints did against us (except we were worse). Dropped marks and handball receives and fumbled ground balls. We were worse because we failed to make position and we appeared on many occasions not be be competitive. Another lesson for the players.

Richo gave Kolt 5th best player on ground for the job he did today. Gave Gawny BOG.

My tips for Bench - Culley - mid/forward, Riv - mid back, Latrelle - Forward/pace, Kolt - Forward, back, mid, Heath - Ruck forward.
