[Simba Moyo]

From that I'd expect Zorko, Smith & Mathieson to play seniors. Possibly Walker for Archie but considering Archie being upgraded and Merrett down back we're pretty covered for talls

Good to see my grandson's mate Luke O'Sullivan getting a run in the Southport game - fine young man.

 

[Tassie4ever]

Annoying the crap out of me to see Jackson Paine running around I'd guess 6kg overweight.

What with, et al, Green running out of puff at the least exertion, Gardiner well short of AFL fitness, makes you wonder about the brains trust.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Awful performance. Lost McGuinness (hammy) and Beams (meniscus) by mid 2nd qtr and just ran up the white flag.

Skinner gonna be a beaut, however.

So what you're saying is that the Beams family has knee issues?

 

[Mr Ripper]

So what you're saying is that the Beams family has knee issues?

Yes.

 

[Voss the boss]

Speaking to a guy that played with him last night - he said he has so much talent and such a shame he did his knee - but for us thinks it was a bonus he went low in the draft. He mentioned he was by far the most professional in the team in doing everything right and getting himself prepared in the week and for the game.

 

[brizrider]

Just based on score and stats seems like s really poor effort given the lineup we had.

The next Travis Baird?

 

[DanT7]

CBeams injured again?

 

[Gadzorks]

CBeams injured again?

You gotta think it's time for him to retire. He needs to think about the next 50 years and having a knew he can still walk on.

My body is also not up to doing the things I want to do. Did take all of my twenties to accept it though. Really feel for the guy, especially as he had been so close to playing with his brother.

Rip, what your opinion on young Cormick? From the stats it looks as though he's putting some good form together.

Yeah been very consistent in effort and output. Always scrapping in. Not awfully polished. A sorta Rhys Matheson Kane Mitchell hybrid.

Think he might hail from up your way?

 

[Football Pope]

Are there 2 J Claytons playing? Row 2 and 13...

Josh (listed) and Jack (academy kid eligible for next year's draft).

 

[Football Pope]

Josh (listed) and Jack (academy kid eligible for next year's draft).

Cheers

Good to see Jack Clayton got his hands on the footy as an underage academy member.

Rookie list chance perhaps.

Sunny Coast lad from memory. I'm a big believer in a team having Soul though.

[James North]

Nah - James Brown.

 

[wattoxi]

Jansen getting plenty of the ball in the first quarter.
