AFL Game Day R5 2021

[Mofra]

Dan Butler was phenomenal for most of last year but I wondered how much “new club dead cat bounce” there was about it.

To be fair I think he is a good average player (and overall one of their better acquisitions), but I don’t think they can rely on him being the AA contending, second in the B&F world beater each year that they need. He has certainly been anything but that so far this year.

Small forward is a really tough position in a side that isn't going well. hey only had something like 45 inside 50s which makes it even more difficult if you're a crumber not a marker.

Agree that circumstances have contributed, but I always thought he would come back to the pack a little. He was probably close to the AA small forward last year and he didn't hit those heights when he was at Richmond.

Finn Macrae is like a carbon copy of his brother.

Pies 3 talls forward look dangerous.

Helps that their midfield wins the battle, but that's the name of the game of footy in general this year. 3 talls is back in vogue, it's all about midfield dominance more than ever.

Pies are trying to make a game of it but its their second efforts and butchering the ball that is killing them. Looks like a 5 goal lost. Buckley needs to play the kids now and see what else is on his list.

Moore been good and tried hard all night. We should go hard for him next year. Imagine having a team with Naughton and Moore being able to swap them around at each end. It could create nightmares for opposition.

Gee Oscar Allan can take a grab, he looks like a real athlete.

Moore has just signed a huge contract and one of the reasons why they couldn't hold on to Treloar

Your right , well north of 800K until end of 2022, no wonder they had to get rid of Treloar. De goey also got 200K more. I do not think this is over. Never say never... anything could happen....

And besides, if we got Moore to break his contract for a higher offer there'd be questions marks over his character and commitment .

GWS come from behind to snatch it against the swans. Buddy’s 5.0 wasn’t enough. Greene’s 1.7 almost cost them.
Himmelburg (2 goals), Finlayson (2 goals) and Greene (1.7) will be a handful .

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Despite a mostly decent start to the season, the umpiring has been woeful this round. Decisions in the Lions Bombers game are awful after seeing some horrendous calls from our game.

North up at qtr time by 10 at the fortress that is GMHBA stadium. Doubt it will stay that but great work by Norf at the Cattery

[comrade]

Melbourne have looked pretty average against an impotent Hawks side. Will need to really use our overlapping handball game against the Demons and hit the short kick inside 50. Lever just stands by himself waiting for the high ball all game.

[jeemak]

Jiath's seemingly able to run 25m without bouncing it. Good for him.

Melbourne struggling to put Hawks away.
