Dripping with wisdom Ethan

Don't want to see Weid nudged under the ball today. Stand strong.

I hope they both have good games but my worry is we'll get plenty of inside 50's but not kick a winning score.

Let's see how the forward line functions tomorrow without him.

Bruce is so over the top and getting worse.

It's a shoot out tonight.

I can understand people's concern though, TMacs absence, even though not in the greatest of form, upsets the structure of the team.

A lot of weight on the Weid and Jacksons shoulders this week. I'm sure we'll get it in there enough but will we kick a winning score?

Yes, I don't really understand what that couldn't beat a top team comment is supposed to mean, we ended up beating 4 of them in a row. It's like saying we couldn't beat them until we did.

Yes, I was at the first Geelong game and then in Thailand at a sports bar when they beat us after the siren. I think it p'd me off too much. Knew we'd smash them in the finals, should have beaten them 3 times that year.

beg your pardon for some reason I was thinking Geelong.

Pretty sure the 11 goal defeat wasn't 2018

Apparently if this was NRL he wouldn't be playing.

Bruce's gushing commentary was next level last night.

We'd better.

If it's Jackson or Smith we're pretty inexperienced in the key forward positions.

Would've like to see what Brown could bring. Can't afford for Weid to have a quiet game, he has to have a presence.

Dam!

AFL still have Darwin up their sleeves, maybe Alice Springs as well.

Just a bit more on Hannan, he was a late starter, missed most of last year and has played less than 50 games. Reckon he is still maturing as a player.

Hopeful news on the TMac front

Over the shut down revisited the big wins from 2018. Rarely gets big possession numbers but gee he has some important moments.

To me watching the game and reading a lot of the posts on here we have a side that is at last coming together with the opportunity to get some continuity of playing. Still more improvement to come but can't underestimate the postponement of the Essendon game. You could even see the difference between the first and second half. Re Weid, gets a pass due to his couple of goals and contested marks, but must hold his ground stronger in the contest. He's never going to get a free for those nudges in the back from defenders.There was only one occasion where I thought, that could have been a free there. If he can do this he will become much more valuable. The top defenders are very subtle with this tactic and only the really obvious get paid.

Forgot to mention, Umpires terrible.

Hannan and AVB big second half. Watching Hannan from 2018 , doesn't always get a lot of it, but gee he has some important moments. Vanders, some players struggle to make a tackle, does he ever miss one.
