Was Hard when our Midfield got Murderd and ball was mostly in Roos Forward Line

1st game at Collingwood where West not Kicked a Goal though I thought he Kicked one late

Prime Buddy Franklin wouldn’t have touched it today playing forward for us TD

Been told that West's foot is flaring up again today. They'll need to rest him for a few weeks. Apparantely its not healing while they keep playing him.

I thought it would have received plenty of rest today.

He played today. Can't exactly fix his issue by keeping on running on it.

 

[Jen2310]

Saw most of he parents post game.
Ryan Eyre's dad, who I thought did well for his first game. His ability to move in tight in the contest is impessive
Saw Boston's brother Jensen and his parents.
Harry Demattia's parents. Harry very popular with the kids.
West's dad, Anthony. All good people.

Not good news for him or us.
Hope it doesn't get as bad as Bruzzy's.

Must be nice to be able to chat with all the families.

Yeah, rather rest him and to get it right. Plantar Fascitis is a pain.
His dad said there is no rush, just let his foot heal.
And mentioned once he is fully fit, we'll see how quick he is.

They do appreciate all the training stuff, especially those interstate.

Bad news Jen. Hopefully he can get it right for a debut later in the year.

Why wouldn’t they rest him earlier?

 

[Jen2310]

Why wouldn’t they rest him earlier?

Yeah, they should have, the moment it was becoming an issue.
With a couple games and the bye coming up, prob good to rest him now.

 

[stormskye]

Demattia moving into the midfield has led to 27,28 and 31 touches in his last 3 games. Would be close to leading our tackle and inside 50 count would have thought as well.

Promising signs

 

[Jen2310]

Probably the worst game ive seen charlie dean play in a while.

We got dominated all over. Last quarter was better, but geez, it wasn't pretty.

 

[BillyElliott]

He played today. Can't exactly fix his issue by keeping on running on it.

It was a joke Jen. Every time I tuned in it was in Roos forward line with them kicking multiple goals.

His best position.
We're clearly in need of another mid, which is why I think we will go for browne.

He’s been very good this season. Today was just one of those days where nothing went right

When looking through the 2024 draft combine results, I noticed that Charlie came 6th in the 20M sprint.

It wasn't pretty, they got goals so easy. The way they moved the ball was really good. Put our defenders under a lot of pressure.
I felt for our forwards

He sure did. Another pre-season when he can get fully fit will help.

Good to see Harry & Ryan do well. As long as our AFL listed players keep improving & showing glimpses, that's probably the best takeaway from matches like that.

Yeah, Harry, Ryan our best.
Mitchell was unsighted for 3 quarters.
Thought Oscar did well given especially down forward
