I'm loving the look of McLauchlan

A reminder that we were 13th on the ladder at the bye

 

[RandomPest]

I made the mistake of turning the sound on. Far these guys aren't even pretending to be fair

It's become a lot more bearable hearing the special comments bloke have his heart broken bit by bit every time we score.

 

[Nathan Barley]

What's he paying???

Most obvious free I've seen

****ing idiots.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

D Lloyd won't be playing next week

Might be a Seagull or two who will miss the start of next season too

 

[Gadzorks]

What the heck happened in the second quarter and first half of the third quarter?

And what get them going again?? Need to bottle it for tonight

 

[MSB ROYS]

Second win down for the day, one more to go.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Thought Lloyd got the bloke in the shoulder. Wait for the replay I guess.

Looked high on the video, was the player subbed?

We could do with some of that pace in the AFL team

If he keeps it up he's a chance, especially next season

Hi Rip, it was good to say hi to you today, big fan of your work

 

[Nunez]

And that my friends is why he will get a new contract.

They say never meet your heroes.

Really liked the game of Darcy Craven today. He'll probably get bumped out due to our list squeeze, but there's definitely something there. Good team-first footy IQ.

Just wanted to highlight Will McLachlan has kicked 23 goals in his 12 VFL games since joining us including 5 in the 2x finals matches. We got super lucky landing him and it is one of the silver linings of our slow start to the year giving us a decent pick in the MSD.

I also think Torrent has shown great signs over the course of the year. Been inconsistent at times but played some good footy. His 23 disposal game impressed me yesterday in a VFL final.

Very interested to track the development of these 2 with a full pre season under their belt. Would be huge if they became AFL standard as late ND/MSD picks.

Yeah very hard to tell from that.

Knee to the head?

 

[Mr Ripper]

Where have they found this special comments bloke? Oscillates between outright barracking for the seagulls and sucking on lemons if we kick a goal

Whatchootorkinabout? It's the great man Doggie Watts!

 

[Grasshopper17]

I notice the Gulls have taken every opportunity to shade their players at the breaks but we're just doing all our recovery and team talks in the full sun. We're even positioning our team boards so that the players have to look up into the sun to read them. In a game of centimetres I do wonder if this is a good idea

Peter Knights would be proud of you.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Peter Knights would be proud of you.

I was at that game. But truth be told he was absolutely right to do that, especially with a playing group that wasn't used to the warm conditions. It was quite a hot day on Saturday and if Willy had had a bit more left in the tank it could've made the difference. Thankfully that wasn't the case

I think I became a true Bears supporter that day. At home in Melbourne watching on TV

Was watching the game yesterday, and was trying to come up with a list of "next up" for each position to the AFL list.
Someone please correct me if I'm off;
FF: Sticks/Henry Smith (Joe)
HF: Will McLachlan (Bailey, any HF really)
C: Harry Sharp (either wing) , Dev (Hugh/Ashcroft)
HB: Shadeau Brain (Starc), Luke Beecken (Motty)
FB: Joyce(Payne), Prior (Froggy)
Foll: Henry Smith/Fort (Oscar), Dev/JL (Lachie/Dunks)

Notes:

• Tunstill has been good but VFL good, not AFL good.
• JL deserves a run if he is actually back to his best. He hasn't played AFL in a while, but he is carving up the VFL, unsure what that means.
• Dev I feel sorry for, don't see a place for him unless the worst happens. He is fierce in a VFL contest, unsure how he gets up unless he heads back west.
• Beecken and McLachlan have been midseason gems, elevate them when we can!

I’d have Reville in there as wing or half forward over Sharp or Dev but good list.
