Darley is just as poor defensively.

Talia did a cracking job of shepherding through McKernan's goal. A 2nd premiership looking almost dead

Looks gone. Need at least 2 unanswered goals bwfore the half if they are going to be a chance.

It's over, another goal.

Yep. Delisting for sure.

On today's evidence, have to agree. Been really panicky defensively.

Bit better in the last bit of that quarter. Massive hole to get out of though.

Everyone has. Really missing Russell down there.

Needed a couple of more goals.

McClean really starting to come into it after missing quiet a few games.

Yeah at least another one. McLean has been very good, sloppy early but looked a lot better that term. Really like him

First time I think I've watched VFL all season - our list depth doesn't look as good today as I thought.

Also is it a prerequisite for Ch.7 to hire ex.footballer bogan pissheads into their commentary team? Campbell Brown fits in at that wretched network like a hand in glove. Just on footy commentary in general, there seems to be a conscious direction from all footy commentators to trash Tom Boyd at every given opportunity. He was caught way out of position in a marking contest late in that qtr and did really well just to bring the ball to ground - cue commentator "Tom Boyd never looked like it"

I have a theory that good programs and a quality top end inflate depth. You see it when 'quality depth' types go form a gun side to a poor side.

I believe they were praising his getting a hand to the ball so McClean could get the free. Unless it was another play

Cannot stand him. I also think Tom Boyd has been relatively okay. 2 goals with limited and awful service. Constantly creating a contest. Rucking well when relieving. By no means dominating but not a game that warrants smack talk.

I just love Toby McLean.

As do I Rocco. Shame they couldn't go any further. I could see him lighting it up in a VFL GF like he did last year in the U18's. Oh well I'll guess he'll have to light it up AFL GF day. ☺

I've just tuned in and notice Talia in the ruck and forward while Cordy is at fullback. Who is covering for who, or are both down?
