Straight Sets Simon

He just needs to hold his marks and not run under the ball so much.

Glazed Harmes.

Preuss is injured so we have Gawn and Bradke who the club have asked to play in the under 18 competition this year.

I love that we are giving the Casey guys a chance but another ruckman would have been nice.

Did he fumble the phone?

I agree, our limited depth will be stretched.

Complete and utter garbage.

In Dave Misson's report it sounds like Joel Smith is in serious doubt.

An abomination.

No you're not. In fact it should have been a 50 metre penalty against May for doing exactly this.

I'd be shocked if Melbourne challenge this.

Agreed, and good on the AFL for clamping down on all these little punches. I would hope that no other Melbourne player does this now.

May’s shoulder clipped Berry’s chin.

Best case scenario with injuries and suspensions. FB: Jetta May Hibberd HB: Lewis Frost Salem Centre: Brayshaw Oliver Jones HF: Petracca Weideman Fritsch FF: Melksham T. McDonald vandenBerg Foll: Gawn Viney Harmes Int: Hunt J. Smith Stretch Spargo Overall a pretty strong side on paper, but can’t afford any more injuries. The coaches will probably go with O. McDonald over Frost, I’d go with Frost because we are a slow team and need all the pace we can get. ANB will also probably play even though he shouldn’t. No crumbing forwards is a huge issue, Spargo on a bench even though yesterday he was awful we have no other options with Garlett injured.

No.

His shoulder clipped Berry’s chin.

Spargo’s lackadaisical chest marking attempt on the half forward line was almost the worst part of the day. Melksham is probably the only player we have who can play a crumbing role because Spargo can’t.

More than a brace as he did lean into it but could have been worse.

No one to crumb the ball when the ball hits the ground is my biggest concern. Brisbane just walked it out with ease.

My initial thought (it was right in front of me) was he was gone but on replay it didn’t look as bad.

Brisbane looked far better.

Horrible free kick.

Hunt has no sidestep, it’s why he gets caught and kicks under pressure all the time.

Anyone ever fumbled more than ANB?

Brisbane look quicker, more skilful, smarter, better coached, better in the air and far better on the ground. Apart from that we’ve been good.
