Really? The whole bloody team was invisible!

He got a first hand look at how it should be done and what the level is in AFL. Just like watching GAJ the other week. Will learn from the day.

Yeah he'll learn from Ziebell and Cunners on how to play good one week then be terrible the next.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Got bashed up by the hardest pack in the comp.

He will learn from it.

 

[the big lebowski]

Won't want to play like that too often. But he had a lot of mates.

 

[guapo]

I think froggy is a touch tired. Has been quieter the last few weeks. 8 straight games against some very good midfields and high minutes in the centre, big step up from last year's expectations

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Not wanting to defend his rubbish game, but I think he got his nose broken in the first qtr.

I'm sure he will and we need to keep going with blokes like Dumont.

The problem is that 5 years ago we were saying that Zeib's and Cunners will l'earn from the beatings' they copped back then.

I'm sure they learned a lot as well but 5 years on we are still getting beaten to a pulp by better, stronger, faster midfields.

I thought with Zeib's and Cunners in their mid 20's, 150 games, that we wouldn't see again what we saw tonight in the first half.

I thought those days were finished and that would be the dominant mid field that other teams would talk about.

It hasn't worked out for us and we need to go back to the mid field drawing board - which of course we are doing with talk of Kelly and Martin.

What do you mean "still getting beaten"?

We have come off 2 x preliminary final finishes in 2014 & 2015 and then an injury cruelled season which I expect would have seen us finish at least that high again..

FMD, some people overexaggerate our losses to an absurd extent..

I thought with Zeib's and Cunners in their mid 20's, 150 games, that we wouldn't see again what we saw tonight in the first half.

One has a Syd barker and been a runner up in two top 4 finish years, and the other was runner up last year by 6 votes. It's the young blokes around them that make their loads exponentially harder to carry.

Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride. Today won't be that last time a more hardened & experienced side touches us up.

 

[koshari]

watching JZ nearly slot that one from 60 tonight and given he is a very good mark he has all the tools to be pushed forward which could have been a better option than having wood and loogie there as BBBs backup. only problem is it leaves a gaping hole in the middle atm,

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

26 disposals and a goal, tried all day and I thought he played well.

 

[tales129]

Only watched the first quarter and a bit and he was in everything.

Very classy goal!!

Gave us a lot more than swallow

 

[Psicosis]

Confirms that match committee made the right call with bringing him in for Swallow.

Remind yourselves of his age if you want to crack a smile.

That's a very neat goal from a full time mid.

I've mentioned it before, he played a lot of his SANFL as a half forward. Knows where the goals are.

A lot of people would have you blocked though.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Hoping the concussion scare was just that, a scare, as he missed last week with concussion as well. In the old days I'd think "whoopdidoo, he's a tough mofo" but these days clubs tend to play it far safer with such things.

He was bloody good today!

 

[motlopfan]

Just watched the replay and Dumont was not on the bench in the last couple of minutes. The players on the pine were McDonald, Atley, Garner and Vickers-Willis with about 2 minutes left in the game. Obviously cleared of concussion, so hopefully good to go next week.

Scott said as much in his presser. He could go to Cotchin next week, or we may just have Jacobs walk in front of Cotchin at the top of the players' race as they enter the ground, which would see him changing shorts pronto.

Go get 'em Froggy!
