Straight Sets Simon

Jones blowing an inside 50 opportunity by not simply walking straight back from a mark kills me.

Petracca has the turning circle of Matthew Bate.

Second to the ball every time.

ANB gets in the way. Our ball handling and touch is woeful compared to Geelong.

This is going as expected.

ANB has been everywhere, I wish he was nowhere.

Great grab by Petracca.

Melksham not shepherding Weideman then can get in the bin.

Oscar and Frost just watched Hawkins then.

Wearing the redback, nice.

I wouldn’t be upset if we brought in another small like Wagner for tall considering the weather and conditions.

De Goey is far more agile than Petracca and is a better mark.

Collingwood can play run and gun and they can control possession. I wish we could control possession like this.

Lockhart intrigues me, I would have kept Wagner instead of one of Frost or O. McDonald. Spargo and Hore had to go.

De Goey is something else.

I worry about both Viney's and T. McDonald's foot injuries in the long-term.

Hunt and Frost rarely break free because they don't have a sidestep despite their perceived pace. The opposition know which way they are going, only forwards.

If vandenBerg is out for the season then suddenly the loss of Kent hurts even more.

Those ANB missed were the turning point for me. Port Adelaide would have still had the legs by the end but we could have killed their confidence then.

The train debacle would have prevented at least 5,000 people from attending.

Who are you trading to get him?

They were excellent against us at Casey.

The worst thing Spargo did was that handball over the top to Melksham for a goal. If an AFL footballer can’t kick a goal from 20 metres out ditrectly in front then he needs to give the game away. Yes, Melksham kicked the goal but it created a risk of a turnover that should never happen for what should be a guaranteed set shot goal.

No surprise to see the Lions taking it up to the Eagles after what we saw in the JLT.
