AFL Autopsy Preseason Game 1: Defeated by the Blues

[faible]

I like how quickly Archie's mind works.

So quick that he side-steps before the opposition player is even in place to be side-stepped.

Perkins dances with the stars

Side step, Stop. Goose step. Side step - kick - marked by Hooker

Hooker kicks from 25, 50 degrees - point

The ground anouncer takes the needle of fthe record awaiting another Perkins hands on the ball

 

[Pweter]

Hurley in attendance - on crutches

Will take this as a positive, at least indicates he's on the mend rather than still being more or less house bound.

Gee Smith looks fit, chasing after absolutely everyone like it was 2018 again

 

[84859300]

Sloppy play from both teams has the ball end up in our F50 - Dev Smith has a somewhat free snap from 45 - point

C 40 - E 35

More slop and ball gets kicked in - rushed behind

C40 - E 36 24min Q 2

 

[Pweter]

How are we looking fitness-wise compared to Carlton, especially late in quarters?

Fine, if anything we're looking better at the end of the quarter than we did at the start.

Half Time; ESS 37 - CAR 40

 

[84859300]

Rushed behind with 6 players on the line

Half time siren goes C 40 - E 37

 

[Big Slam]

Serious question: Has there ever been a ruckman with the size of Draper who has been as good or better than Draper is below his knees?

It's remarkable how good he is when the ball hits the deck - especially considering how big he is.

Nic Nat - Grundy - Ryder have all set the mould

 

[JT_the_Man]

Half time, down 3. We were all over them at the end of the quarter, failed to make the most of our opportunities.

Thoughts -

Draper working into it now, has taken some nice grabs and has rucked well.

Tippa creative as ever.

Guelfi has pretty much been BOG. Playing up forward.

Langford started getting involved, likewise Parish who got a bit of it.

Smith has been great.

Ham excellent.

Perkins has shown glimpses of superstar potential.

Natanui? Dean Cox? Grundy can be

Really agile for a big fella, not surprised that he's coming out of the Tom Bellchambers footy factory.

Geez Draper is a player.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Didn't expect much, but have been impressed with what I've seen.

Perkins looks like an arrogant campaigner haven't had one at the club since Reimers

 

[faible]

jesus

You're right, Draper does look a bit like him too. Seems a good player comparison.

 

[84859300]

Geez Draper is a player.

He has matched up against the Carlton goons with no issue.

Sure, they aren't comp leading - but for a 2nd year AFL player he is coming on leaps and bounds. Put him on ice and let 2MP ruck the rest of the game

Have you missed Dev Smith?

If you didn't get an email with a link. Email the membership department and they'll send one through (If you're a member)

Then ring them and yell expletives down the line at the poor girl who is on work experience.

The club will really get the message then.
