No Daniel may have put pressure on him to do too much

Staple of Adelaide games at Football Park in the 90’s, Neil Kerley and Tony Modra. Good times. Vale

Lol who tipped Essendon

Mitch Wallis could be sticking up for Tom Boyd or Lachie Hunter by liking that

Weather is an issue in Tassie. For spectators if not players. The Cairns game needs to be at a certain time of year for the same reason. The new NBL team went crazy here but that was indoors and...

Too much for Bevo’s liking

We should be 8-6 and in the 8 after round 15, playing two sides out of the 8. Not out of it yet. Lot of injured players have come back since we were 3-5

Injured & VFL players walking through the crowd during games spruiking them

When our tall forwards are just blocking and dummy leading for Naughton, and bringing the ball to ground, picking one who can be a strong forward line ruck and give a significant chopout to English...

I think we've been undervaluing ruck work for years, particularly given the mids we have to take advantage of it. There's a huge correlation between Sweet playing and us winning, and high winning...

First goal Dunkley
BOG Duryea

We’re so stuck in the mentality of neutralising opposition rucks, we’re walking away from driving home an advantage. Both ruckmen were great in the centre bounce v WC which was a big factor in us...

Always the last to leave the oval giving high fives to fans. Footy is combative and competitive but his kind nature shone through

:D



I have Duryea as our best defender this year, in a defensive sense i.e. Bailey Dale's attack excluded

How good are his tackles? He's a bit small so it's easier to get the ball away than when Dunks or Libba have got you

First goal Scott
BOG Macrae

I thought they were targeting the week after the bye for Bruce & McLean but it's stagnated with no updates

AFL level match fitness is difficult to replicate in training. It's not a 10km run, it's crashing into your opponent mid air, wrestling them, getting up and down the ground, flying for marks,...

Ed Richards had about 4 crucial moments but for something different, the Rhylee West handball about 15m backwards out of congestion to Bailey Smith to launch forward, I thought that showed composure...

Gold Coast won't win in Ballarat

First goal Bont
BOG Macrae

Sounds like he earned it, our small-mid defenders aren't where the injuries are

McKay out is massive for them, like our Naughton or Bont. Could definitely be a dry period for them now

We were totally uncompetitive in the air in defense. We lost hitouts 40-21, but our mids still won the clearances. The issue was not Bailey Smith's midfield time

We could bring them back sooner, but what would their output be like if they weren't 100% ready? What about the chance of reinjury, do we have fewer reoccurring injuries because we are conservative?...

I'll clarify, when the ball hit the ground he was easily brushed aside

Smith isn't the problem, like with most Bulldog sides in living memory it's our talls letting us down

Khamis was OK in space but awful in the contest. Like an early years Bailey Dale. He'll probably get games given our injuries but he's still raw

Stole my thunder. It felt like The Moment for Port when they gave away the interchange 50, but then we couldn't capitalise and it felt like their night

They can top up like for like. Not forced to play 4 rucks if that's all that's left

You could be talking about Lin Jong there

Wood & Cordy have been replaced by O'Brien & Richards

Beat Aliir and we're half way there. Can Cordy do it?

Trade talk after round 7? Essendon's season must be over already

Might be more like a few months if he needs ankle and shoulder surgery

That was Lin Jong esque the way he turned the ball over, but he did get involved and will improve from there

It was refreshing to have an interceptor on our side for a change

We weren't that bad yesterday. Some of our lesser lights were actually very good. I thought Adelaide played well, particularly their small forwards and tall defenders. Naughton was well beaten which...

That's more a slight on Atu that had him in the first than anything else

Lots of doom & gloom in here, that injury list isn't that bad, only Keath would be a certain starter in our 22 besides Bruce from last year

Lack of love for Duryea in here. Very combative, desperate, courageous & physical game. Last line of defense, where angels fear to tread stuff

Weightman with 4 in the first quarter really got us...
