Ham should be persisted with

Agreed... but I can tell you - he won’t

Look, they probably didn't umpire the way they would've liked. But they'll take some learnings from this and work towards umpiring the way they would like.

That was the most defensive game Stringer has ever played. Excellent game from him.
Shiel, McGrath and Parish were fantastic.
Ham impressed me a lot.
Ridley will be a player.

We actually played wet weather football. Relentless pressure most of the night. That's the tone we should set for the rest of the season.

Denied

Yawn.

So Phillips played just like he did in preseason. Are the selectors surprised?

Bad news guys - Zaharakis only went at 50% DE

Good news is he only had 2 touches so he only ****ed up once?

Duck just called the boys 'ferocious.' I've never heard thst descriptor applied to us.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Snelling was good also. Made a few mistakes but crucial in lots of critical plays.

 

[doug85]

Did something happen to Stringer?

 

[Howard Moon]

Francis did a great job in the ruck against Grundy, never thought he had it in him

Like tigers.

Phillips was a competitive beast, the tackling compared to last week was unbelievable. The swarming looked Richmond-like at times. Snelling Hibberd Ham all deserve more games. Zaharakis out please

Laverde didn’t impact the game again! Will he ever come good?? Time to blood others??

Crashed into Maynard I think it was. Limping, jarred his knee or hip (or both) on the way down.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Awesome stuff. Especially after giving them a 3 goal head start. Can we please be a little more consistent?

 

[fairbump_playon]

I feel like some deep pockets would probably settle the fine for him too after that.

Happy to chip in.

No and yes.

No

Yep, he's got a way to go but gets the ball & can be damaging, keep him in.

 

[Howard Moon]

Proved me wrong.

That takes doing

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good

 

[CBombers17]

Tonight highlights how important it is to have players who are prepared to make an effort for the whole game. Needs to the bottom line. It is infectious as well. The selection committee needs to sort their s**t out on that front.

I think he hurt his ankle in the next one with Langford too.

It's ok when we play s**t again I'm gonna bump a whole heap of posts in this thread.
