Some poor kicking this quarter. Melbourne playing a spare defender so we have to be smarter going forward

Craven does some good things. Shame he's not taller or quicker

Beautiful kick for goal

Solid VFL level player. Can't see him getting extended.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Haha Schache can't outmark Prior

 

[Nunez]

Beecken is such a well rounded player. What a find.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Derksen providing a good target today

Beecken is such a well rounded player. What a find.

I think he still has more defensive lapses than you'd like. Doesn't seem to quite have the balance right between defence and attack IMO

 

[Nathan Barley]

Did Lyons just smother Smith?

 

[Nathan Barley]

Derksen didn't quite think that one through

Think he's learning the zone structure we like. Not perfect but can see his applying himself. I think it is infinitely harder to do so at VFL level given the random unforced turnovers that happen at the level.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Pretty much dominated this quarter but not got full reward

 

[Nathan Barley]

Ryan is such a massive presence. Must give defenders headaches even if he's not getting a lot of the ball

 

[MSB ROYS]

Casey just put everyone behind the ball like Melbourne.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Surely there isn't a better ruck combination at state level than Fort and Smith

 

[Nathan Barley]

Smith 3 goals, 13 disposals, 7 marks and 9 hit outs

 

[Nathan Barley]

We have 9 of the top 10 disposal getters

 

[Nathan Barley]

Great spoil torrent

 

[Nathan Barley]

Fort has dominated the ruck this quarter

 

[Mr Ripper]

It’s unsettling just how much the PA guy here sounds like Leppa.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Fort playing like Gary Dempsey Simon Madden and John Nicholls all rolled into one.

 

[BRAB]

Those stat lines from smith are looking really exciting. Glad we signed him on until the end of 2026.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Not a great start to the second half

He looks good. Would be next cab off the rank over fort you’d think

 

[Nathan Barley]

Dev has been a lot smarter trying to distribute from congestion by hand instead of breaking 3 tackles and going for a run
