  1. The game would be far less congested if umpires weren't so hot on players moving half an inch off their lines and calling play on.
  2. If Adelaide win and Walker gets at least two weeks then it's a great result for us.
  3. Handy for us in a couple of weeks.
  4. These changes are likely but boy we would become an even slower team.
  5. Needs to be a 10 to 15 goal win, especially without Bontempelli.
  6. Royal Melbourne isn't in Perth.
  7. The backline didn’t have to do anything because the ball never went down there without Sandilands and Fyfe. On top of that the Fremantle forwards are all no-names anyway. Lewis constantly falls over, panics under pressure and struggles to bend down to pick up the ball. That 50 metre penalty was a disgrace, especially from someone supposed to be a leader.
  8. Anyone who can hold a chest mark.
  9. Smith was doing SFA down back, needed to try something to get him into the game other than for tackling.
  10. Out: Lewis, ANB, J. Smith In: Vince, Hannan/JKH, Pedersen/T. Smith
  11. On top of this, we kicked into the man on the mark twice against Port Adelaide (Brayshaw and Lewis from memory) which is completely unacceptable.
  12. Did anyone hear Jimmy Bartel talking about Petracca just stood still after taking a mark tonight? How the hell is this still happening?
  13. No wonder Tom Morris got the flick from the Melbourne Podcast. Normally supporters tend to know a lot about their club.
  14. Needs more penetration in his kicking, prefer to see him hit targets 30 metres away than to go for the long options.
  15. https://twitter.com/sirswampthing/status/1000926221562085376
  16. Our first two draft picks last year were 29 (Spargo) and 31 (Fritsch) and both are already getting regular games in their first season. That's what I call good drafting.
  17. Because of a 17-year old rookie ruckman who hasn't played football for three years?
  18. That's the great thing with the Category B Rookies, we have to give up very little to get them.
