    Three Things I've Learned 2015 - Round 1 Edition

    Once the Round 1 match against West Coast is completed, let us know the three things you learned after watching the match.

    Be constructive but be honest.

    Bontempelli can become the best player in the league. We have landed a once in a generation talent.
    Lin Jong has work to do, but has just made an extraordinary leap forward in such a short time. A real credit to himself and the hard work he must be putting in.
    Whilst I still think we will struggle to win often this season, this season promises so much for supporters as the foundation for a great future. Once we get more games into our talented youth we've got much of the ingredients in place for a bright future in a very short time.

    Lin Jong can be an AFL player. Honeychurch might just make it too.

    1. Bonts is even better to watch in person than on the TV.
    2. We'll never truly replace Griffen, but I'll have fun watching Lin Jong have a crack at it.
    3. We've still got some 'unlearning' to do. Slaughtered on the rebound tonight.

    1. Bontempelli's the best young player since C Grant
    2. We have to defend the corridor and transition better
    3. Talia will be a competent AFL defender.( finally shackled Kennedy)

    1. I can't remember the last time we were in the 8
    2. Attacking Footy is the best Footy
    3. The demise of Will Minson isn't anytime soon

    1. Jong just ticked another box....his kicking has improved 50%
    2. Our defensive structure for the kick outs needs to be a focus this week
    3. If Roughy and Talia can maintain that form our defence will stand up.
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    The coasters coast-to-coasts were a worry, bt Hurn is a monster kick and the weagles set up for him. Not every team is going to do that to us.

    1. Two tall forwards makes you more vulnerable to rebounding from defense
    2. Fletcher Roberts might need a trade to get a game
    3. The Collingwood game wasn't a fluke
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    I was gob smacked when Hurn kicked it long and Nic Nat tapped it on .

    1. Footballers should never have their natural talents curtailed. Some boys were really set free tonight.
    2. Grant. I hate him and I love him and I hate him and I love him.
    3. The club is getting better at fan engagement. My kids went absolutely bonkers for the dancing dog pack.

    Don't know why the Weagles didn't do that at every occasion.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    1.Winning is the best healer.
    2. Our new game plan will win us more games then most of us thought.
    3.Wallis off the taggers leash and M.Boyd off half back will prove to be coaching masterstrokes.
