I think TMac needs to go back, maybe Petty forward or just play a small forward line. Whatever the midfield will have to get right on top if we are to win this.

What is going on with the backline? They are all over the place.

Is a smothered handball incorrect disposal?

He did handball it I thought

Yes but it’s OK their umpires are still going strong. Some of the tiggy touch woods for the Swans were embarrassing in that quarter.

A big bonus for Choco I say.

6. Choco Williams our goal kicking coach! Never, in 50 years have I seen us kick so accurately for goal, both set shots and snaps.

Now can we get a few centre clearances this quarter? Grundy seems to be misjudging the bounce badly

And picking a short forward setup seems to trigger our midfield to bomb it high and long into the forward line.

Can we keep this below a 60 pt loss?

This is going to turn ugly! It’s like Mark Neeld is back in the box!

And the rest Oliver, Tracc, Petty to name a few more. We haven’t played disorganised rubbish like this since 2012. it’s a great game the umpires can’t bounce the ball, the boundary umpires can’t throw the ball in properly and we can’t take a chest mark! And FFS don’t try to tackle “Shoulders” Ashcroft, every time we touch him it goes high and he gets a free!

Boy that is a shock, we look very second rate, second to the ball everywhere, except Lever. Oliver, Tracc, Viney look pedestrian. WTF is going on? Grundy needs to step up this quarter!

My phone weather predicts humidity between 70 to 80% from 8 to 11 p.m. ice vests and fans needed I suspect.

Anyone know if the boys are having a light run at Gosch’s tomorrow prior to flying up to Brisbane?

It wasn’t high impact. The MRO works off a formula but if you just make things up to get an answer you think is about right, change the bl**dy formula then. Don’t take the outcome into account!

Can’t wait for the first bounce. Dropped into the Union Club for refreshments in this heat. Hopefully I make it in time😁.

At least you can get a drink at the Gee, Uncle. I was cruising in the Vette last week through Romsey and looking for refreshments on a warm day only to find the Romsey Hotel closed and out of business! That’s a real shock for a Fitzrovian like myself. I mean what is going on these days in the frontier lands?

Absolutely nothing wrong with fibreglass!

I was assuming players had the week off from all training. This mandatory week break before the start of the season was negotiated by the Players Association some years ago. So it wouldn’t mean much if the players keep training as usual. It’s all odd to me, the players haven’t played for 6 months and are chomping at the bit to play a real match for points!

I am worried now that they have added Lobb to their forward line.
