Because HSmith is out of the game

Fair point.

Oh Dev.......

 

[Squizz89]

I would delist Ryan and pay him out, if we can afford, rather get a 18 yearold on small money on our books. Ryan isnt making it.

Giving him 3 years was one of very few decisions we’ve got wrong the past few years. Most recruits have been hits. That was a bad miss. Assume it was because we had wind Joe was going to pull up stumps last year, but to carry him on the list for 3 years isn’t ideal.

Dev, precise kicking will never be your game

 

[Mr Ripper]

Eff I hate TEMPO TEMPO calls from the bench when you have all the momentum and just end up coughing up the ball and gift an easy goal at the other end boils my waters it does

Have to say overall umpiring has been ok. Of course now there will be 3or 4 shockers giving pies the points

Compared to last night it’s been excellent

What are we paying Doedee? Its been that long since he played I dont remember how good we was at the Crows. It'll take him a month at least to get back into it but wonder if he'll find form.

He just needs the game time to get his confidence back , he'll be a good player if his knee holds up which is the issue.

I like Beecken. Must be close to a call up but finding a slot for him is problematic.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I think Doedee's on track, fighting hard for the pill. McFadyen looking the goods up forward now that Gallop has gone into the ruck.

 

[Nathan Barley]

A couple of strong marks from McLachlan today

I do wonder how he would actually fit in the team, too tall and slow as a 4th defender?

He could be quite important if Lester drops off a cliff and/ or Starce succumbs to concussion issues.

Froggy is well into his 30s now. Doedee replaces him at some point (maybe next year given Froggy's strong form).

He was an elite intercept marker. I think the plan would have been with him and Andrews in the team we should be able to free one of them up to intercept mark allowing Andrews to lock down if there’s a matchup there

Criminal defending lol.

 

[pappaazz]

Criminal defending lol.

Any ideas who kicked the ball along the ground into the corridor for the Pies goal?

 

[MSB ROYS]

Commentators are over the top. Sometimes less is more.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Torrent doesn't have the game awareness you want to see from someone who's been in the system a few years now.

I'm watching on mute.

 

[LoganMorrisFan]

Beecken is a really nice kick

 

[MSB ROYS]

Ok, his "Craven goals" remark wasn't too bad.

 

[Helicon1]

McKenna has given them two goals this qtr.

 

[Tom14]

We've done some of the dumbest things imaginable inside D50.

 

[bato]

Doedee just runs into his head....
