His forehand has always lacked power. Couldn’t be happier he’s working with Serena Williams.

I thought she was helping with his ball drop

Still yet to win a Group one, with the guidance of Craig Williams he'll become the hot pot!

Just realised he could have been playing in a GF next week. Wonder how he would feel.

Looking fit Dyl. Confirms one of my biggest fears with footy coming back...player’s hair, it’s going to get ugly.

Started round one with a bang - Some chance for the Brownlow if he gets off to a flying start when the AFL resumes.

To be fair every player in the comp is a chance for the Brownlow if they got off to a flying start.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

He seems to be a rocking a bit of a Gareth Bale look atm.

Keen to see more games like RD1. I think we're all yet to see just how good he can be.

Is that a 1kg bell?

You have to be very confident in your abilities to rock a hairstyle like that. Good signs.

Really pleased with how he handled the heavy tag tonight, busted his ass in there and certainly deserved a chop out from his fellow mids with barely any blocks

He finished with 19 disposals with 14 contested which isn’t a bad effort at all considering

We haven't had a regular playing mid that would constantly block since Hocking.

 

[eth-dog]

Fought through the tag well. Needs big bodies in there to support him.

I hear a kid called Dylan Clarke is good at it, not a bad tagger and tackler either

Ultimately, Curnow won the duel because Shiel is most devastating when he can get the ball outside which wasn't the case tonight.

“ most devastating”....lol

I'm devastated by his disposal at times.

Underwhelming to say the least

Would have been nice if we had anyone angry enough to put some physical pressure on his opponent at times. What we would give for another young heath Hocking to come through.

I am devastated by the lack of protection we give him all the time.

One of Clarke or Hibberd would be welcome to come in for Merrett against the pies

 

[Mr Bultitude]

Was it just me or did he look like he was just containing how miffed he was in the post match interview? I'm glad he's in leadership; seems like the kinda bloke that wouldn't suffer mediocrity lightly. Just hope he can make some headway into changing the perceived culture we have going currently.

I just do not rate Clarke's kicking. It is not AFL standard and it got exposed in a few of his last games which is why he was left out. Love the way he plays but sides know they can get him under pressure. Would like to get a look at Hibbered as his VFL midfield craft is not just about being big and strong so I am interested to see if he can find the next step to translate that into AFL footy.
