Late to the party to add some thoughts! One of the best games I’ve seen Cripps play in a while, absolute top top tier wow. Walsh has been incredible upon return, 26 score involvements in two games? Huge numbers. There needs to be more love for Georgeys game, again, underrated. Backline really...
Went on a hot air balloon over the CBD this morning. Guess where the landing spot ended up being? Right at home in front of Gate 3 at Princes Park. Good omen? I’d love to think so. Great way to start the day. Fiancée claims I paid the pilot off to land there hahahaha
Hard to make a call when Cripps is still active. I’m 32 and Judd at the minute is still ahead as my favourite player to watch going around, with a few other greats clipping at his heels which includes Cripps. I’d say the sentiment that Juddy is the better player talent wise but Cripps the better...
Would love to have Ben Ainsworth. That would be the type of player I would be pretty happy to see us spend money on. We need to really target a quality half forward and small forward imo.
Think that 2nd KPD to Weiters is also a need.
Beat Sydney one week, get flogged by the Eagles the next. Something to lighten the mood after yesterday lol
Reid is already showing glimpses of how good he will be.
28 scoring shots to 20 with 14 being behinds isn’t great, shot ourselves in the foot. They were damn accurate with their goal kicking, paid off for them in the end.
We struggled to shut down when the game was on their terms, a lot of the first half saw them use short passes along the boundary...
Think he’s a good player who would do a decent job at half forward, but nothing spectacular that stands as a point of difference to what we already have on our list in that position. Depends how much we would get him in for if interest is solid.
Half forward/small forward is the area we should...
Just want to highlight Boyd’s defensive play and efforts in the 4th in the D50. The smother then the second effort to topple it out for a stoppage. Awesome.
Get the * in. Smash and grab. We persisted and kept in touch. ZW in that last play to Charlie was super. Saad provided more run second half with Boydy and Blacres.
Wasn’t pretty, but the game was played on their terms all day. Be proud the group can grind out an ugly win like that away from...
Weiters, Cripps and ZW standouts for me so far. TDK with a big last 10 min of that qtr.
-10 on clearance is the stat that is the problem at the moment. Mids need to go go go and find a way to win territory at the stoppage
They want to play uncontested and possession based footy. We need to take opportunities as much as we can in that case. I hope we can crack them open and get our transition game going, some chances showed there we can get an open forward line for a one out
Tackle pressure enormous today. Great team effort. Love we put them away at the end. Elijah Hollands, well done man, welcome 💙
Harry huge game. Cripps huge game. TDK ruck work great in the second and third. Georgey had a great game. Onto the next! Up the baggers
Goes to show how far our list has come when these discussions happen. I think Kempy has all the traits to be picked every week but does need to work on that one on one aspect of his game. Also, his distribution when kicking between 25-30m can be inconsistent sometimes too.
Let Caleb come in...
Hope Elijah has a ripper first game for the club. Weitering named and confirmed tonight will make me very happy. Think they’ll put up a fight for a half but we can and will kick away 2nd half.
Play to our strengths with our contested game and try to break them open with some quick transition. They look a mess when the ball slings back after an attacking phase. Tackle the crap out of them too, seem to crumble with when the pressure is applied.
3.6 to 10.8 second half. Demolition.
Sounds worse when Nth had kicked 7 goals to 2 for the first quarter and a half. Freo mids did the job in the second half.
Think the Pies get this done if their mids fire, as much as the prospect of them being 0-3 is damn tasty. If this was at Marvel I’d maybe feel differently
