What an absolute gift of a goal. Stay out of it umpire.

 

[CursingFijian]

Every week Cloke just confirms that he's the worst set shot for goal I've ever seen.

White is making it a contest

 

[Ekomaira]

Every time I see Harvs in a Filth shirt it makes me throw up in my mouth a little...

And when he speaks he refers to the Pies as "us".

Kills me

The difference between a number 1 pick & a number 9 father/son pick....

McCartins debut - 'very underwhelming, needs to work harder, has a lot of work to do'
Darcy Moores debut - 'competed well, reads the play & Pies have a lot to work with'



Darcy Moore was ******* terrible tonight. Looked so far out of his depth it wasn't funny

 

[Fehring]

I only watched the last quarter, but Cloke is one of the biggest headcases I've seen in the game. Twice he had the ball and threw it away like a first gamer panicking. Just terrible. Embarrassing, I'd go so far to say.

 

[Fehring]

On another note, that was a nice post game acknowledgement by the players.

EFA.

FWIW, Moore showed endeavour and courage. He'll be a good 'un.

 

[TheLastEmperor]

I see a lot more potential in Paddy than Moore. Moore just doesn't look like a natural forward. I've said all through his draft year that his best position and role is a dour tall defender. I reckon he could succeed in that role and become a good shut down player.

Jordan De Goey is such a good player for someone so young and inexperienced. Can't wait to see him with a hundred games under his belt

Amazing to think they got all of De Goey, Crisp and Greenwood for Beams. The Same Beams who nominated Brisbane and had already moved back to QLD, clearly stating his intention to sit out the last year of his contract with Collingwood. The "Go Home 5" was bad but this deal was a ******* disgrace for the Lions.

WTF were Brisbane thinking?!?

Brisbane also got Jaden McGrath with a late pick. He has some real talent and slid due to injuries. Beames has easily transitioned into Brisbane's best midfielder and even player.

Greenwood hasn't been able to get on the park. I thought he was terribly overrated after one decent season.

Crisp looks a beauty but would he be performing differently without Pendlebury?

De Goey looks a star tho. Built like a 25 year old.

It's too early to make a call. Looks win-win at this stage.

 

[hayes]

Three good players for one is always a win in my books.

 

[Rors]

I've got nothing against Darcy Moore. He'll end up a good player. Just get frustrated by the suck up glorification F/S players get from the media, while our Paddy got the 'tough harsh lesson' type reviews...

While Paddy didn't do much in his debut, he looked far more capable at the level than Moore did last night.

I do agree with Daddy_Barrels though, it's probably just because it's the media's darling Collingwood

 

[crasha301]

Toby Greene now spitting on players! *ing muppet!

 

[TheLastEmperor]

Jack Steel looks like a good player. Bloody tough nut.

 

[Rors]

Okay okay okay.... Seriously, when the * did Rance become so ******* good?! I'll put my hand up & say I was very very wrong a week or 2 ago.... I haven't seen the Tigers all that much in the last 2-3 years, so all I remember is Rance basically being a taller version of Cam Shenton... Now he's a ******* freak!

 

[crasha301]

Gaz is done. Will never be the same.

Looks afraid of contact

Indeed! Just not going in hard like he used to.

 

[TheLastEmperor]

How does Majak Daw get a game? He's a poor mans Liam Jones!

 

[Ekomaira]

Gaz will be fine

 

[Simple Jack]

Gaz is done. Will never be the same.

He won't, but 'the same' is one of if not the best player(s) of all time. He could still be a very good player.

It's sad, he shouldn't have any less than 3 Brownlows (I would argue 4 or 5).

Agree he'll still be a good player but I dont think we'll see the magic he used to produce. It's ashame.

Gold Coast!! Swallow and Ablett back. Day as well. Playing well.

Can easily see them get a run on and start to show something in the second half of the season....
