Isn't he already committed?
Still believe Mills for a lot of posters here is a protected spices. Just my opinion but do some people here like the way he looks when doing things rather than the result of his possessions ?
Even though Papley is contracted for another 3 years, I'm hoping he won't request to be traded again at season's end and honour (recommit to) his existing contract.
Wrong thread......
WHOOO HOOOOOO
We finished in the 8.
All you horse bashers... got anything to say?
As to the game, these kids have got to learn to play four full quarters. We were very lucky that tex walker is @@@@ at kicking goals these days.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
Even though in some ways it seemed silly to start the season and then only play one game, I'm so glad we did. Made my day! Gave me a great lift.
It helped that we won. But just as exciting was the fact that we smashed the opposition out of the centre. It's been a long while since we've been able to say that. And that was without one of our frontline midfielders and thanks in fair part to the young talent (Ollie, Rowie, even McInerney) as well as the strong showings from our champions (JPK, Parker, but Rampe not so much).
All the conjecture about Naismith, and whether he would make a difference has its answer. Albeit it was only one game and his longevity remains to be seen. Bring on Round 2! I wonder what chance there is that it will happen? Fingers crossed.
All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)
Strange times.
I enjoyed the game. I thought Richmond v Carlton minus crowd was dreadful, but it didn't bother me as much this game. Maybe it took a game to get used to it, maybe I cared less because I was more focused on the players when it was my own team? It is interesting to hear the yelling and banter, like being boundary-side at a quiet game.
I thought there was a lot to like: Naismith looked good, Heeney on form, new boys going OK and getting into it. Good physical, committed stuff. Some times I think I see flashes of Jude Bolton when Cunningham gets moving, is it just me?
Heart attack finish that went our way for once!
Always a bit of rustiness in the early games. Would like to have seen Dawson go better after his great season last year, let's hope that comes around again.
So that could be it for the year, realistically. But who knows, still a chance for a June restart if control measures get those numbers down enough. Just have to see where it all goes.
How did everyone see our defence, attack, skills, game plan flexibility vs other teams on the weekend?
It was lovely to see our team hang on and get the win.
Adelaide didnt kick very well at goal last qtr thank goodness.
Relativity for me was the Hawks playing the no2 team from 2019:
Hawks who no one on this site appears to rate completely man handled Brisbane Lions yest..........
Brisbane who came 2nd last year and Brisbane who had double the amount of wins as us in 2019 ie 16 wins vs 8 wins were not only out played, but also out executed and out coached significantly by Clarkson and his team !!!!
"be tough, only when it gets tough"
They kicked 2.3. We kicked 0.4.
On The Couch tonight Gerard had an interesting stat. First three quarters we played on after a mark 33% of the time, 0% in the last quarter.
Not sure if they went defensive or were just out on their feet. Or maybe they went defensive because they were out on their feet. Not quite sure why they should have been especially tired, given the shortened games and extended breaks. But they looked it.
Thanks Liz
My suggestion was they had a few easy ones they missed and ours were a bit tougher
