    Richmond WCE postponed since Richmond aren't allowed in the state by QLD government.

    Expected Tigers to play Melbourne, Sydney to play WCE and the St.Kilda-Carlton game moved to Thursday

    The season is really on a knife's edge given Victoria's positive numbers are sky rocketing (which will only continue given the testing blitz we're undertaking).
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Will be really interesting to see what happens with the Suns travelling to Geelong this round from not only a performance perspective but a quarantine standpoint.

    I'd imagine they'd fly direct into Avalon airport?

    The Saints used Steele to curb the influence of Cripps and Geary to do some work on Docherty

    I'm still surprised that we are reluctant participators in using players in more defensive roles.

    Steele tore Cripps apart in the first half from what I saw, and Geary did some good work early.

    Who do we have on our list besides Libba that is suited to a negating role?

    It amazes me that every club doesn't have 1-2 negating players.

    We used Macrae last time on Cripps and it worked, plus Macrae picked up lots of disposals as well.

    I thought Geary was fantastic. His stats ended up very low, but he really contributed. Might say the best 6 possession game I have seen

    Took his opportunities when they presented didn't he. Showed how to kick effectively at goal from 30-40m out as well. Thought the timing of his goals against the Blues came at a critical time.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Jong has done it in the past. I'm not sure how effectively. It should be a role that Wally is suited to as well.

    It's hard to know because we are reluctant to try it. Would we have recruited someone like Steele to play that role like the Saints did? I doubt it

    Porter, McLean and Daniel could develop that sort of skill

    The 2nd time around and we won. Bevo didn't consider it when we lost to them
