Notice how McGovern has the hardness of butter left out in the sun? Watch him when a ball is overhead. He ducks like a kid at the park when magpies are swooping.

100%

One thing I thought was bloody great was Short backing into a pack and spoiling I’m the third.
Took alotta guts

Tiger71 your tweet was on the 7 coverage at half time.

So was captain bloods same page.

You can see how pumped Yze and Morris were with Serpell. All that repeat sprint training and Campbell just flys past Moomoo boy.

Trainor is looking good too. With balta and gibcus the backline looks more solid. I still think lefau should be on the wing and let the kids in the forward line learn from lynch. Smillie and hotton as well. If we can nail the next draft with a couple more, looking forward to 3 years time.

With the young talent unfortunately there is no place for Lefau.
He is good for depth.

Fantastic bit of analysis

If you have a spare couple of minutes i highly recommend checking it out

This will be a very interesting season for us. Expect beltings and expect moments of brilliance like this match. Very proud of the club. I genuinely bought in to the narrative that we will be holding up the ladder this season but looking at it now and the belief that the club has, I don't think we will make 8's (will eat a hat if we do) but we will have a very good season in watching the players develop and maybe making 10th or (god forbids) 9th.

If we do move up the ladder i imagine there will be a few nervous clubs with high profile players OOC with our salary cap and recent history of success.

I still probably have Lefau ahead of Bauer as that 2nd / 3rd tall

But having them both fight it out is only a good thing for each others development

 

[Sol23]

Also put my hand up and say well done to miller. Got that one wrong.
Still not convinced on dow and sonz.
Smilie can replace one of those two

The thing is Lefau is mature age and still looks like a dear in heads lights. Bauer is a more natural player.
Then you have Armstrong,faull,Sims and Fawcett.

Still grinning. What a f***ing night. The best home & away win in our history. Paying over $10 against a traditional rival who consider themselves premiership fancies. Down by 40 odd points early in the game. A 100+ point blowout and no wins for the season looking like a real possibility. To not only contain the margin, but to pull it back and thoroughly outplay them for the rest of the game and grind out a result is an unbelievable effort.

And Sammy f***ing Lalor. Dusty reborn.

Trip too Samoa worked wonders.
Imagine if the whole squad went.

A couple posters who like to sink the boots in haven’t been sighted have they? Funny that

No surprise.

That’s true
Just think that physicality that Lefau brings is a big boon
He’s probably a smarter lead out marking target over Bauer

But Bauer definitely more of a threat in the air and as you mentioned a lot more of a natural

When they are all fit we will be really spoiled for choice

 

[SouthernStripes]

Reckon I had more fun and entertainment watching that last quarter last night than I had for the whole of 2024 watching Richmond. Was such a weird year with the constant Dusty talk as well as the baker / Rioli / Bolton chatter. Vibe already way better in 2025

 

[richoatthedisco]

Would've won if Jagganaught was playing.

We won anyway, even without his help.

I think caracella is really coaching behind the scenes like 2017

Let’s be honest - on the stats above we lose that game 9 times out of 10. But it feels so good waking up today knowing that the effort from the whole team was fantastic and they dug in to fight it out.

Congratulations to the team, coaching staff and club. I suspect it’s going to be a tough year with a young list and growing pains, but I couldn’t be more proud of our club in what they did last night.

The most glaring problem in the first 45 minutes was how easily the Blooze could go from one end of the ground to the other without much pressure. If they’d finished their good work the game would have been done by then - the inside 50 stats against were dire. I’ll look at the replay as to why - but from 5 minutes before half time that it all just seemed to stop. I don’t know if it was coaching, young players working out their defensive roles or simply Carlton got arrogant - or all three. Something changed and if it’s coaching and structures I doff my cap to Yze - it was like a switch was flicked.

A lot to look forward to - new recruits, players given more responsibility, and “effort” being the mantra from the coach and players when interviewed last night. Watching a rebuild will be a wild ride - but a helluva lot of fun too.

One thing that happened toward the end of the 2nd quarter was that we took KMac out of the centre and put Dow in. Cripps had had about 19 possessions to that stage but was quieter after that. I've never understood how Dow is a good fit in our midfield, but he seemed to make a big difference last night.

Absolutely
There are a few others on Twitter that post similar stuff from time to time

Its probably the closest thing we fans can get in terms of actual analysis of how coaches see the game and some of them put the shit ch7 and fox put our to shame
