Holey s**t. What am I watching...

Great to see Yeo going to Brockman at half time for a chat. No doubt about his attempted hanger that gave the ball back to Freo with less than a minute in the half. That's why you don't just dump all your experienced players for scrap draft picks when rebuilding like a certain media personality...

Yes, but 10 of those 40 shots came in the last 10 minutes of game time. This was against a premiership hopeful on their own patch, with a few green shoots shown from youngsters and no obvious injuries, I'll take it after the pure filth of the past 2 years.

I'd like them to stick with Edwards a bit longer. He has good hands, releases the ball to the outside well and finds space in traffic. I think he's the sort that may benefit from a stronger ruck once Flynn is back and make a good first receiver. In saying that, he is definitely not quick and...

Don Pyke in his interview with ABC on March 9 seemed to suggest the wheels are in motion with a song change, but there's a bit to work through and it's unlikely that they'll be ready to swap it out before round 1. He was pretty cagey on any details, there may be commercial arrangements in play?

Agree that Duggan often lets himself down with skill execution. But you generally can't question his effort and team-first attitude. The captain needs to lead, not necessarily be the best player on the team.

The right move I think. Allen is a little light on for outright captain in experience and age. We've got a young list, having captains at either end of the park can't hurt. Agree it should be Allen outright in a couple more years, but it's pretty difficult looking from the outside. Would trust...

I've got no doubt he was going for the ball. Doesn't change that he launched at a player heading in the opposite direction to get it. It was not an intentional act, but a careless one. By going for the ball in the manner he did he put a fellow player at high risk of serious injury... you don't...

Disagree with that entirely... it's been over-analysed. At the end of the day, Maynard launched forward into the air at a player running in the opposite direction and got him high with severe impact. Doesn't matter if Maynard's bump action was to protect himself, putting himself in that position...

They are just trying to get as many kicks in while we are down as possible. One last clip before we disappear into the off season. They will be worrying about what this club will become in future with a few years of high draft picks. As they should be.

Maynard flapping his arms around like a chook at the umpire after a crucial non-decision... I'm sure I've seen that before, but just can't put my finger on where. 😄

Just like JK and Hurn, it's the right call. But doesn't make it any easier. His bursts from centre bounces to hit a target in forward 50 are the thing I'll immediately remember him for. Champion.

The club has obviously done a lot wrong to end up in the current situation. And there needs to be open discussion about this. I have no problem with most of the discussion and criticisms on this board for example. But for me it still comes from a place of support for the club and willing them to...

Quite like the look of that team all things considered. Good blend of youth with experience. Would prefer to see Gaff out obviously, but not worth dying on that hill. Hopefully he plays red wing.

Damn straight! They were arrogant marks. Love it.
