Frustrating few minutes to give up a couple of easy ones and miss a sitter.

Sitting amongst a nest of travelling Magpie fans/player relatives. Feels like the old days

Please find the commentators and educate them on for to pronounce Answerth.

Is Ginnivan injured? Would've thought he'd have a bit more than 2 tackles by now in a VFL game

Please find the commentators and educate them on for to pronounce Answorth.

I'm too shy.

 

[martinson]

He has a selfish streak that is not going to take him too far in getting a game.

It's hard when you're in the Reserves trying to get noticed. We'll knock that out of him once he keeps getting the message from the coaches.

I should think he'd be getting noticed for the wrong reasons

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

But that was a great kick. Now do it again

Got serious trying to do way too much syndrome. Needs to play much more within himself....

As I type he kicks a ripper hahaha

 

[lionshine]

Oh wow Kai Lohmann

 

[Nunez]

The umpires realise bracing for impact is not the same as a fend off, right?

 

[McIvor]

The HTB on Kai just prior to his late goal was terrible - absolutely no prior or no incorrect disposing of the ball b/c it was tied to him - just another terrible decision by the umps at this level. Stunning goal tho.

Geez I’d love them them to pronounce Answerth’s name correctly and not Ainsworth. It’s good he’s being called so often so far though.

Should be playing tonight. Thought he was good last week when he came on, and one of the very few that puts his head over the footy.

This half time break is brought to you by Two Kings Bakery Riverhills' Vietnamese pork rolls! Try one today

 

[lionshine]

Been some valid criticism of Lohmann but I thought he worked his ass off up the field to provide defensive pressure that quarter. Ah Chee looks to be working back into form. Fort has been outstanding. I like Sharp and Fletcher on the wings. Hopefully one of them can eventually become the hard running, skilful wingman we need in the senior side.

Brain does some eye catching things.

I don't see it with Blake Coleman unfortunately.

Someone needs to educate you on how to spell Answerth

Lohmann definitely struggling for a bit of touch and form but I still think he cracks the best 22 at some stage this season. Looks a bit fumbly and isn’t up to speed yet it looks like which is getting him in some bad situations. When he takes the simple option and makes the right decision’s he looks class though. Just needs to find the right balance which can be difficult, guys in the senior team don’t have it either. Still like his defensive effort and pressure though.

Jaspa looks class every time he’s got the ball, once his body is right to go I think he goes to the top of the list for wing/flanker replacements.

Suffocating in the perfume haze from the Pie supporter sitting next to me, jeez

 

[Mr Ripper]

Noticeable improvement so far in chasing and tackling and lowering the eyes going forward. Augurs w, oops, forgot this was a football forum, all goes well for tonight.

Agree re Fort - is to good for this level and in my humble view, should be selected over Oscar - who I found is undropable. Personally I don't think Fort is much better around ground, better disposal and against Pies with no ruck would be better suited as he kind of plays that Stef Martin hybrid ruck over as my Dad would say.

martinson lay off the perfume mate

 

[Nunez]

Cockatoo looks so much fitter this year. Covering the ground really well. Outside of that one bad kick, he's had some nice touches. He's playing half forward the way I wish Linc played HF at AFL level.

 

[Nickimus Rex]

Who is this Harrison Arnold (Harnold) bloke, he looks like a bit of a Handrews-esque player

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Fletcher was impressive in heavy traffic just then

I don't know much about him, but he's been impressive in all the games I've seen him play so far at this level
