Extremely way early to tell on Keith and Bruce.
But Bruce is extremely a hot or cold player.
More of an In Bruges guy?

Bruce has had very limited chances to prove his worth

Does anyone think Bruce has stacked on the weight which has slowed him down?

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 3 Vs GWS 2020
I get we didn't pick the right side, but basically everyone was underdone by varying degrees and will probably be for a few weeks. Additionally, there's also going to be some teams falling off a cliff mid season like there always is after a preseason where they've gone overboard to try and get early wins.
We have a five day break, I'd much rather work our players who didn't front up ready to go into the season with continuity rather than put them in and take them out after limited minutes.
It's grim, I get it, but information asymmetry is actually a thing and some of the commentary is getting too negative and tiresome too early for mine.
If you knew me in person you'd know that if I ate breakfast it would probably consist of cynicism on toast. But in these situations things are rarely as bad as they seem nor are they as good as they seem. The AFL media and us as supporters have been craving meaningful footy content, for the better part of three months just like we do at the start of every season and now we have some of that we're all going ape shit.
Just let it play out without the hyperbole and don't buy into the circus. Sure it's a short season but it isn't that bloody short, and while starting well is important finishing well will be more so.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Definitely. He looks noticeably bigger and he's moving like it too.
His apparent passionate hate for Ryan Gardner notwithstanding, Keath has been pretty good and I don't get the angst.

Don't think I've been this invested in selection night since the granny.
This can't be healthy.

Last week Bevo made us believe Libba would play against the Saints from his comments so who knows?

That would be a surprise, I didn't detect anything in his comments to suggest that but he never gives much away.

I don't think I have ever been dreading the team announcement more than I am this week.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 3 Vs GWS 2020
Gardner, Gowers and Lipinski out
McLean, Cordy and Libba in.
Two outta three ain't bad I guess.
