Three things you've learned Round one 2022 v Melbourne

Re: Three things you've learned Round one 2022 v Melbourne

1. I hate Melbourne and Melbourne supporters
2. Nothing has changed since last season. Nothing. At all. Our list has gotten worse and some of our stars from last year looked dead in the water last night.
3. Bevo .. seriously man, not the time or place.

1. Confirmed that our best footy is joyous and close to perfect.
2. Confirmed that anything off our best runs somewhere between impotent and joyless, to meandering and disorganised.
3. We don't have an aggressive bone in our body.

Our most aggressive player is the one from appearances most unlikely. Bailey Smith really went in hard. I was impressed by his game.

Libber is cooked.
Vandermeer isn't going to make it.
Cordy can't play again.

Oh and a bonus fourth I thought Ed Richards looked good last night and am hopeful he will have a big year. Clearly can play.

He had 11 tackles and attacked the contest with real vigour. Though Baz lit the spark for us, with Dunks in the 2Q.

1. For better or worse Bevo is 100% that dude.

2. English has improved a lot and I’m comfortable never seeing Stef Martin play again.

3. Naughton is a gun FF and a gun CHF but can’t be both at the same time. We need a second tall immediately or nothing is gonna happen this year (it’s not Schache, Cordy, Martin and it has to be Jamarra)

1. If you have a really bad night and you are just 4 points down at the 13 minute mark of the last quarter then there is still lots to work with. Admittedly Melbourne were inaccurate.
2. We booted 8 on the trot against a good side.
3. Our skill level by hand and foot can only get better because last night it was the pits.

1. Tim English can make it and become a high quality 1st ruck. Let's hope it's with us beyond this year!
2. Bailey Smith. 11 tackles and some tough grunt work inside, keeps improving.
3. We've got work to do with our skill execution, that's what cost us momentum at key moments. VDM, Schache, Hannan, Williams stick out as culprits that spring to mind.
