Tanner Bruhn : always thought he had "it" first time I saw him.
Moves to the midfield after Danger gets hurt and looks a million bucks.

Another go home high draft pick.

What am I missing with Geelong?

It's bogan central.

They broker cheap land deals.

I think they'll get us. Just ask Dog God. One of their forwards will have a field day.

Yes they will, but it will be Curnow AND McKay next week. Both were putrid last night. Both will be due.
Curnow/McKay will kick more than Naughton/Jamarra. That will be the difference.

To add to these incredible stats and praise he had 555 meters gained, 13 tackles And 86% tog
He was everywhere ! Only thing he did not do was kick a goal

Only the eighth player in history to record a 'Quadruple Double': 10+ kicks, handballs, marks and tackles.

Re: AFL Game Day R8 2023

On Dunkley's game last night. He was elite in how he took Cripps out of the contest and got his hands on it so many times. 13 tackles was also unbelievable.

But he has a massive deficiency as we know in his disposal.

He had 33 touches last night. But he had 11 turnovers last night. 11 !!! The next on ground was only 5. So he touched the ball 33 times but he turned over the ball every third time. That is poor. His disposal efficiency was also at 60%

There was one horrible turnover where he missed Andrews with a 15m backwards kick, and it ended up in a Carlton goal. Amazing game but his hurt factor is definitely in the contest, not in his ball use.

Thanks to B Macc, he left

Fair point. Got my timeline a bit wrong.

I wonder where he would have played if he stayed on when Bevo came in?

Ruck.

Re: AFL Game Day R8 2023

Ruck.

Carlton gave up trying to play him forward. So they played him back and his natural ability to read the play and mark the ball really shone. They were about to delist him, it was one last role of the dice.

But we would have tried with Liam jones in multiple positions, back, ruck and maybe on the wing in the name of versatility

Pies leading at 3/4 qtr time. Can they hold on?

Re: AFL Game Day R8 2023

Saints 14 v Norrh 8. Midway through the 2nd. Doesn’t sound like a quality game.

Re: AFL Game Day R8 2023

Essendon ability to want to win matches really stood out in the last 2 mins of the game. They hardly touched the ball. Too many down hill skiers. They lead for 3/4 of the game.

Well done Port for winning. Rioli is just sublime how he moves , goal sense and ducks tackles.

How many weeks for Rioli

Surf coast or the Bellerine peninsula are great places to live, so much better than living in a city imo. You dont have to be in Geelong.

I'll second this.

Your housing dollar goes a hell of a lot further than in all but the outer suburbs of Melbourne, there are plenty of great schools if you have a young family, and everything you need is not far away.

After 18 months out that way I can see why players would take slightly less money to live out here.
