That’s what I think she’s hoping
Oh absolutely lol
As good as Milera was today, Redman is an upgrade 9 weeks out of 10

To be honest Essendon were the better team for 3 quarters and then fell off completely in the last. We led the whole game and just couldn't hold on, and while Collingwood are probably not only the top team in the competition this year they are also pretty bloody good at comebacks. I think we gave a far better showing of ourselves especially when it comes to playing out the full 4 quarters.
First time I’d heard him call the game. He is not a terrible caller and not a good commentator.
Was impressed with Campo’s comments though. Insightful I thought
Ugly - me writing Milera off, played a ripper today.
Gut running from a switched on team.

Don't worry you had plenty of mates though maybe not a write off just wanted him to earn his spot again through the SANFL.
Seems sometimes the coach knows more than we think we do.
Good:
Pedlar - getting some centre bounce attendances
Milera - best game for a long time
Smith - continuing to build on his season after a slow start.
Quick ball movement coupled with kicking to the advantage of our forwards
Goal kicking - yay.
Bad:
Can't rally think of any, everyone did their job and even the umpiring was OK.
Actually maybe put Keays and Rachelles decision making in here. They need to look for options before blazing away and Rachelle seems to think he gets paid per metre, always goes for the longest option - needs to hit up shorter targets when on offer.
All in all a real solid game, be wonderful to back it up next week against the Bullflogs.

This is the year to go after him, might cost us a second even in contract whilst he is underperforming. It is the perfect chance to get someone with elite talent at a cheaper price, if it doesn't work out, so what, a lot of second rounders don't but if he does we start batting deep with some serious talent in the midfield
Thoughts on this?
Thilthorpe around 25 metres in the clear, Rachelle ignores him and goes back to kick......... a point. This is not uncommon for him.
When it comes to the crunch, is a bit of goal hog. Not great.

Good
Parnell, never saw what others saw in him until today, jeez he was very good
Pedlar, those three CBAs is basically pr0n, he makes O'Brien looks like he can tap. On the move, pushes off his opponent
Our HBFs, good drive
Our ability to win it in the clinches
Smurf, has really stepped up this year, much better when he is away from goals, very good at clearances. Is he like 135cms tall, always seems to be tackled high?
Tex
Soligo, a very good midfielder, not sure how he dropped so low in the draft
Jones, keeps bringing it
Bad
Doedee, not having a great year and to be honest, we'd lose nothing bringing in Worrell for a couple of games and then giving MM a couple of games off and bring Doedee back. If he leaves at years end, it won't hurt us as much as I thought
Lyons coaching
Brad Crouch, haven't looked at the stats but I bet he got 30 because there was no damage done
Ugly

It's an embarrassment of a club. One premiership, won by a single point, in 150 years.

Maybe but it was like the last play of the quarter. I'd be sure the coaches instructions on this would be to soak up time and take the shot, we were already up by 5 goals, no need to give the Saints a chance to kick a goal that late on.
I get where you are coming from because Rachelle does take it upon himself a little more than he should but he is an elite talent who trusts in his own ability. It will be the next step in his development to be more team oriented but this play wasn't it.

You're dreaming if you think the Suns let a contracted pick 7 go basically in his 2nd year of top level football for a 2nd rounder, especially given he wouldn't be on big money yet. If they want to clear cap space he'd be low on that scale.
Brouch and Laird are basically the same player.
Pedlar looked great in the midfield in glad he was given minutes.
I still maintain Rankine has untapped potential in the midfield too. He looks so dangerous when he's in there and has such agility and reflexes.

I'm not and he signed a fairly decent contract for this season and next for a player in the seconds.

He's played 4 AFL games and was dropped on form, form at the lower level has only been fair, poor on the weekend.
Also:
Good: I'm happy with my previous calls on Lachy Murphy vs Macadam.
Bad: I like Macadam too, but he's a luxury player we can't afford.
Ugly: People will still try to convince me that Macadam is better.
