Trelly.

 

[Scythe]

I've missed hammering teams. Won't happen much, but give me 100-point wins and 100-point losses over 60-50 slopfests

Trelly.

Damn he is electric. Jason Taylor has done it yet again.

And the goal to Kentfield whos done well today.

 

[Satan]

The picketts remind me of the krakouers

Kentfield is more promising than Jeffo IMO and it's not close.

 

[Lord Nev]

FT
North 6 - 7- 43
Dees 19 - 15 - 129

 

[Atavistic]

Treating North players like witches hats.

 

[dazzledavey36]

Blake Howes has absolutely mopped up down back.

 

[ray_purchase]

What is this 2 minute drill thing? lol

Imagine you just tuned in to the game

 

[Lampers]

Fritsch going behind the ball to save the lead in the scenario.

 

[Bluelegs]

Keeping them under 60 points, Goody would be proud!

I reckon he was playing backline before they did the scenario.

[Lampers]

I reckon he was playing backline before they did the scenario.

After Melbourne forced a second ruck contest once they got the lead I saw Fritsch sprint past coming from the forward line (no 6-6-6).

Kentfield is definitely far more conventional as a tall forward. He also offers more flexibility playing forward, back or ruck.

 

[Lord Nev]

After Melbourne forced a second ruck contest once they got the lead I saw Fritsch sprint past coming from the forward line (no 6-6-6).

I reckon he might have run up the ground and was getting back. Would swear I saw him in the backline in the last 5-10 minutes at least.

 

[Proper Gander]

Quite enjoyed that. Kozzy v rest of the world is super fun!

North board in preseason needs a shout out too. Great read

This might have been just defensive pressing - He was deep in the backline a few times after about the 17 minute mark, but so was Tholstrup, and we had lots of space forward. Fritsch spotted up forward after goals.

Any link for stats for the game?

 

[Bluelegs]

Was only half watching on my phone but my biggest plus was Tholstrup looking like he belongs

And did a few really nice things when he was moved forward too. Some ok signs today, but his problem has always been finding his right pace, so see how he goes with AFL pressure once it starts.

Don't think there will be any, best hope is if the Wheelo guy decides to put some on twitter given he's a Dees fan.

Appreciate the updates from those watching. Sounds promising for a lot of players, including some whipping boys. Hope Mihocek is alright.
