It was a usual good performance by weiters.
Harry competed all night but I would like to see him run out on leads more often. He is not an overly strong mark overhead yet so the better defenders spoil and bump his body out of contest most of the time. If he runs out and has his hands extended out front he will mark more and have more scoring shots. This applies to our other forwards as well and I don’t know why we don’t do this as much as we should.

I agree. I've already brought Dow and Fog into my best 22, so there's probably only one spot left on the bench right now. I'd think LOB is fighting it out between Cunners, Gibbons and Newnes. Betts sadly I think misses out, although I do believe he has good footy left in him.

Yes Doc had some stinkers, but I actually didn't think he was too bad.
But let's also not compare our skipper and former AA to a guy that's been delisted from two different clubs.

Ed???
Ed plays in the midfield doesn't he?
You are equating Ed with Newnes?
Ed Curnow? You want him out of the team?
Dow definitely stepping up this year, LOB probably will and is trying hard, but Cunningham I don't think ever will.
I wasn't impressed at all with what he showed this game, or hardly any for that matter. He is completely lost in the middle. Needs to focus as a small forward and pinch hit mid rotation like Fish and then he will be brought into the game
Mr Ed needs to go out to pasture.
Sorry.

I disagree. We moved the ball much better I felt. Not perfectly all game but certainly better than recent years.

Umpires get me riled up for sure.
It would take a lot though to think they actually cost us the game.
Not saying it has never happened to a team, but on the whole, you find a way to win, even with some shocking decisions.

Just my thoughts on the game ..
Kicked 99 points with basically none of our main targets in the FWD 50, that is huge. If you had of told me before the game we'd have a forward line of Silvagni, O. McDonald, Murphy I would have said we'd struggle to kick 50 points.
Thought the Dow looked fantastic, had moments where he did amazing things. Few times he shot out a handball that just opened the play up.
Thought that Fog was great, in the past few years i've seen far too many times opposition players waltz out of our forward line and break tackles.. but this guy CAN TACKLE. Hope he gets a regular game this year.
Disappointed in Doc's game as I can see a few are, his disposal at times was terrible. But he can clean that up.
Overall a pretty decent hitout against a team who is supposed to be top 4 bound. Also I felt we looked much fitter, in the 3rd they seemed to drop off, which allowed us to get back into the game.

Not going to happen any time soon sorry.
If not, we know we are stagnating this season.
Lots of nice hay in earlier morning games for Mr Ed to feast on as more talented guys blossom in the seniors this season.
You know it makes sense...
I was reading the game day thread as the game played out on Thursday and only watched the replay last night for the first time.
I was expecting, from what I read on here; really bad games from Doc and Walsh, I actually think they played pretty well. Couple of mistakes here and there but overall attacked the ball well. Quiet game from a couple of players, but doesn’t that happen ever game? I think it is a lot less emotional for you watching a game knowing the result, my take away from that game. Team overall has taken another step in the right direction and played very well considering the players that were missing or injured.
Really hope we can make the 8 this year.
Oh and thanks for everyone who was commenting on here Thursday, there was some great observation made.

Juddy copped 4 weeks for that 'chicken wing' tackle on Adams.
This one ...... play on!
we?....I think you mean you mate...ed is fine
Ed is indeed fine. Been a great servant for the club as we built our list up from ground zero. Like Rod Ashman playing in reserves in 1986 grand final and winning that premiership hopefully Ed can do the same for ours in 2021.

imagine that five to six times a game x twenty games a season, and people wonder why he needed shoulder surgery....
Ed Curnow has improved each season and no one sets the standard for running and guts higher than he. I reckon if he gets a premiers medallion it will be in the seniors. 5 years ago I would have agreed with you footyfan1978 but not now.

Who comes in to play his role ? Keeps the opposition best mid to a dozen touches ,racks up 20 + and more often than not bobs up for a snag or 2 for himself .
We'll have to wait and see.
