Preview Marsh Community Series - Melbourne v Adelaide, 22 Feb 4.40pm AEDT

[Bluelegs]

Man this is what we've been wanting to see this from Petracca for so long. Please bring it to the real stuff.

 

[TheCount]

I know it's just a practice game but where is Weideman at?

Still just doesn't seem to have a presence when he's up forward imo.

Really need him to come good this year.

Where is he at? Playing as a hugely undersized ruckman for 90% of the game ...

Wrote off McDonald at half time and he's been epic since.

Brown was focal point in first quarter, wind was well against us second quarter, t Mac focal point last half

 

[Topkent]

After my halftime melt it's been pretty impressive the way we've spanked them in the last against the wind. We are running alot more

 

[Charlie_s123]

OMac is genuinely embarassing. I can't believe he's still a shout to be in our best team. Matthew Warnock was a better player.

1st gamers have embarrassed him. He’s shot.

 

[schmuttt]

Browne is pretty unfashionable but still a much better Tim Smith imo.

 

[harry000]

I’ve been changing ends to watch the forward line. Interested to know people thoughts on back line.

Main benefit of Brown is looks handy at ground level.

I thought he moved well to provide a link up options a few times. Not going to win a Coleman but a handy pick up

Backline looks thin in the air without May. Lever and OMac as a key defence is scary.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

So Petracca is pretty much guaranteed AA if he stays fit. That's the main thing I took from today.

 

[jhong]

Not a fan of Weiderman in the ruck but he was good today .

 

[Jamurp]

I didn’t see us concede 4+ goals in a row, so that’s an improvement in itself.

Decent hit out today though, the most important part, we actually look fit.

 

[mrmonkey]

Mitch Brown, damn, nice cheap pick up, thanks Bombers

Was just saying the same thing to the misso. The other thing to add is once gawn comes back then it weid can go back forward also fritsch also was missing so looks like we may have a good mix in there.

 

[schmuttt]

Not a fan of Weiderman in the ruck but he was good today .

I think an extended run in the ruck can help someone like him build confidence honestly, with the way we move the ball you can go 15-20 min without touching it as a KPF. Obviously Gawn goes straight in there when fit but wouldn’t mind Weid getting another go against the Hawks.

If there was a market with any or the agencies I'm with, I would have loaded up in December at long odds.

Amazing what a good preseason does. Trac unrecognisable from this time last year when he looked fat and played like it.

He looked like a chisiled Adonis today and was everywhere. So happy with his performance and the work he's clearly put in over the summer.

 

[schmuttt]

Petracca genuinely looks quick now too.

 

[TheCount]

Meanwhile, disappointed Jordon didnt get any game time ... would have like to have a look at him.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Mitch Brown one of the better sheep dogs to ever play the game. But I'll take 3 or 4 goals from anytime.

 

[Cromulent1]

Sorry, no time to scroll through atm, what happened to Jones if you don't mind?

 

[TheCount]

Also, for anyone not still watching ... loved just seeing Rivers hanging around Jackson's locker, with Kossy hanging out there as well, will be massive for those 3 to be great mates, given they're all from interstate.

corkie

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

God Spargo has gone backwards. Can't even hit a target by foot anymore. Used a be a decent field kick.

At least this year we are getting the ball in position for someone to sheepdog
