Darcy has “IT” whatever “IT” is, Ayce did not.

Based on a bit of VFL I saw yesterday, he’s a very smooth mover and great below his knees for such a big man. He’s going to take some time but you can already see how his physical capabilities are...

Bit of talk around the Naughton stuff. I only caught bits and pieces, but the turnover frees when we had a mark on the 50m arc was costly and in the replays I saw they were 50/50 at best and easily...

I’m really keen to see how the backline functions today, with Keath, Gardner and O’Brien. It’s the mix we’d been wanting and finally getting to see how it hangs together, while Daniel has started to...

Not sure I’ll be able to watch live today, so fingers crossed it isn’t too stressful for those there and watching on the TV!

We should win this despite GC being in the form of their existence.
...

He didn’t kick it, but I like he was confident enough when he had a bit of time in the F50 to take a shot on the run on Friday. Don’t see that much from Jacko.

He’s had a sensational year and is...

If English is in, Sweet is out. But sounds like English is another week off at least so… not a problem for now.

My thoughts are McComb and McNeil on the edges. If Jones or Bedendo have good games...

It was a terrible call, as was the De Goey one.

I’d thought the intent was to stop verbal abuse at umpires and chat, not a bit of emotion. Time for a clarification.

Agree. King made a comment after the game we’ll forget JUH quickly. If Buku keeps going like this it’s that exact Marra role and hard to see him being displaced. Also a good lesson in persistence and...

Used to seeing our players drop that open mark. He stuck it no dramas.

Buku fast becoming my favourite player. That was awesome.

Big opportunity for Sweet and West.

Bont and Keath back is huge.

Not close enough to it this year to know too much about Cleary, but let’s see how he goes.

Game on.

Looks about right to me, subject to seeing how injuries turn out.

What’s happened to Caleb this year? Thought he’d had an improved
Month and was starting to turn the corner, but we really miss his creativity and influence to open us up and move the ball quickly...

I know exactly what you mean.

He’s great at getting it around the corner and I’ve never seen a player so willing to take the extra second and get hit as he disposed of the ball. Jacko has...

Good night to be indoors on the couch watching the game.

Glad we aren’t North in the double header. Game starting at 8.40pm… would be asleep by half time not even considering the standard the...

Gone the Draper look. Interesting.

First goal Buku


Not confident at all - hope we don’t get trounced.

Yes, Buku in to play the Bont forward line role.

Will be interesting to see how the talls work together (or not together) up front. We’d been building something good with Hannan and Naughts, a...

Good news. Let’s get the deal done and move forward. Important player for us, and we have a great future together I suspect.

Covid or something else at play?

What was the scale?

He’s not going to be a skilful player, but if he can keep the pressure up and contribute to the scoreboard, while reducing his turnovers and the severity of them, he may be a 50 game player for us....

His work in the contest is a feature for mine. He’s rarely beaten, can halve contests vs multiple opponents, and is learning to balance his game appropriately with offence / defence.

If he can...

They will be keen to atone, but they were keen to atone for the 2020 disappointment last year and that didn’t help them…

Two sides that could dish up absolutely anything.

Great to see Daniel in the votes and Richards too.

Had a few things on so only caught parts of the second half but liked what I saw and glad we walked away with a win.

Too early, but hopefully English for Martin.

We get to play the Eagles soon right?

Bevo is balancing a lot of player ego I suspect with midfield minutes and the Bont is the bloke prepared to play forward. Hopefully it means someone else has higher trade value to move out at end of...

First goal Bont
Bog Bont

It’s time for the Bont to Will us over the line with a 35 disposal 4 goal game.

That’s a really great call. We’re light on for our “honest” players that do their role team first week in week out. Scott, McNeil, Libba, Gardner - we’ve got quite a few of them in our best 22 now...

Williams in Stringer could be good, a challenge and a task for someone a little down on form. Duryea was my other thought - depends how Stringer plays I suppose, but getting out the back seemed his...

I’d probably stick with the same 22 this week as uninspiring as that may sound, Buku the one potential in I’d consider but not quite sure he’s there yet.

Bont - back to the midfield pls
Schache...

Don’t mind it - would be interesting to see the data of bye vs end of season finish and how many teams get there from that position.

History shows that we’re still a chance to make at it 2-4, from memory Sydney made it from 0-6 a few years back, while GWS made it from 0-3 last year.

Obviously a lot needs to change and go right...

It’s interesting that a side like Melbourne go and target Dunstan because they realise they had a great run with injuries and need depth in that area of the ground.

Meanwhile, we miss the...

Thanks HD60 for running this - certainly trumps what champion data do.

We have a lot of top end talent, and definitely the depth in the midfield, so it’s really about getting the mix and balance...

All of that being said (yes they framed it wrong) he IS exactly the player we’d love to have in our 22 right now. Adams has not been able to play continuously so let’s wait and see how the balance of...

Libba needs to spend more time in there always, while Treloar and Baz adding some pace.

Don’t mind it - Bont playing a role for the betterment of the team and can still roll in and influence when...
