    Still think those few minutes before qtr time turned the game - as a young team we got no reward for what was a really good start.
    Even though the Eagles were a man down for the game

    I needed a good laugh, thanks for that. That kid is an absolute gun. Amongst our best in a very disappointing performance.

    Yes I can't really get into this season at all. I muted the TV, cannot handle the West Coast bias in the commentary. I don't think we're playing too badly, but this all seems just like a training drill. I'd like to see us use this season as a trial for some of our younger players to see who has got what it takes, and who hasn't. I'm a bit concerned about Haywood. Seems his decision making is all over the shop.

    Anyway, it's all part of development.

    I'm glad I turned him off - I couldn't put up with any more of his outwards masturbation over Wet Toast. Just embarrasing to listen to.

    Just stick with ABC Grandstand.....they said 'no prior' and were shocked the free was paid. Don't know why anyone bothers with TV commentary....

    So frustrating that Heeney and Mills don’t get more midfield time. Heeney is totally wasted forward. His kick to Papley in junk time was exactly why he would be so damaging playing mid.

    Yep, hard to disagree. I know we are short of options down back perhaps, but they have to try Mills as a midfielder for mine. Heeney should be also playing more in midfield then he does.

    The usual suspects have lined up again..We are going through growing pains and a lot of young players will be better off for the experience. Ruck and Reid and Buddy missing a massive problem.

    Agree that Ronke, Gray not deserving their spots. No point picking youngsters if they're not ready. I'd like to see Warner come in next week. He seems to have shown the best form of the draftees so far. Maybe try Foot too? I hope they don't bring Squizzy back. what's the point after just one week out and no scratch match?

    Eagles may have been a man down but they were pretty much close to full strength, unlike us. Hard work for our mids to play without a recognised ruckman when they have one of the very best in the league.

    Hear hear. It's an absolute must that they get more midfield time from now on. Heeney especially thrives on the contest and is not a full forward. He needs to be given more opportunities to shape the game in the middle, and deliver more passes like that into the 50.

    And Hayward can have a rest. He's stinking it up this year.
