Hope it's not as miserable in Geelong as it looks in Frankston.

Ripper game. Desperate defence in last 5 mins there. Should put that last few minutes on replay for AFL & VFL team to watch.

Really enjoyed the last quarter, I thought it was the first game I've actually seen Buss really defend. He dropped that mark late but thought he took a step forward today was desperate throughout.

I'm actually up in Brisbane so I was just watching the Dolphins-Demons match but it looked like people were inches away from having to swim.

We had our own problem up here for Brisbane vs Sydney with the wind blowing a gale.

Arty Jones seemed to be playing more wing time today. Keen to see him play wing on a dry day.

I?m certain there?s a footballer in him. His a player I would be incredibly patient with as he has so many tools.

He’s got another year on his contract so he has some time, but he needs to make some progress or he won’t get another.
I’d love him to get there, but he’s stagnated in the last year or so.

He reminds me a lot of his uncle Andrew Krakouer. Has the same trick bag. Krakour was a very slow burn.

I think his improvement has been okay this year at vfl level. As a small forward his a low possession high impact player.

His getting a lot more looks at goal this year than last from the eye and his pressure is very good.

Still needs to find a way to get his hands on the ball more and find ways to work himself into games.

IIRC Lachie Neale was an 'average' ball handler who is just about the best in the comp at collecting the loose ball now, through sheer training load and repetition.

I love Arty and his energy is infectious but at his size and shape he just has to become a one-touch player. He's not there yet
