No they won't, it's a stitch up. The Suns were a bit over $3 to win today, isn't that a Record?

Chris Scott totally articulate and rational, as usual. Talking sense while giving absolutely nothing away. Super coach on and off the field.Presser here.

Bigfooty will be interesting for the first time in a long time! Lots to digest and hopefully not vomit up.
I’m never going to another game at Metricon. We almost never play half decent footy there. Looked lazy, uninterested, and honestly like that sort of showing wont beat any team in the comp. Embarrassing stuff.

Interesting.
Would usually expect Blicavs, Miers, maybe Cam Guthrie and Close to be amongst that lot.
Need to be careful here, the Eagles fell off the map with sides that looked ok on paper. Need to turn this around quickly.

I know Rohan has been a whipping boy throughout his career, that he's never been a really high possession winner but he does have a tendency to make something happen when the ball is in his area and can bring an intensity that our forward line feels like it's missing at the moment
No doubt that Cameron's had a good start to the season, Miers hasn't been too bad & working hard up the ground but probably not enough time up forward to really impact on the scoreboard, and Henry has kicked a few goals but not sure we've got enough from him during general play. As for Hawkins, Close & Stengle - they're all well down on what we saw from them last year, and that's not just from not hitting the scoreboard but also the pressure from them
Would be good to see what Rohan could bring to our forward group, and he brings his pressure game will that help others lift also

Don’t mind the celebrations, the concerning bit is the lack of leadership to wind it back with a new focus
I don’t see much of it out there

Cam Guthrie getting the ball but totally ineffective. At one stage he could have gone for goal on a slight angle and instead kicked a low kick to Tomahawk who was stationary near the boundary with his opponent in front of him. What was Guthrie thinking. Probably KFC just after he kicked straight to the defender.
Whats going on with the holding the ball interpretation. If you take the play on, get tackled but still dispose of it they now pay holding the ball? Wtf.
both sides got benefit and loss out of this ruling today but its just so ridiculous.

Was wondering if anyone put their hand up in the VFL game, but judging by the scoreline, I'm guessing very few did.
Seems to me quite a few players are either resting on their laurels at the moment or have simply been worked out by the opposition - I'm talking about the likes of O'Connor, Close, Stengle, Cam Guthrie and Atkins.

Hawkins, Close, Stengle only look good when the ball is coming in quickly snd regularly. The midfield is being smashed and the ball is being bombed in when they do get their hands on it.

At this precise moment it's hard not to conclude that all the new players to the club are not the real deal. At this precise moment, But I'm not blaming our 3 losses on them.
Every player is under-performing and there is no cohesion between the players. Last year we were brilliant between the arcs. This year we turn it over; we can't pull off a chain of possessions. Some players are less than shadows of themselves - Stengle and Hawkins to name just 2. The skipper is struggling and the other mids are having no influence at all.
You find yourself wondering how we won 6 on the trot last year.
The gap between success and failure in AFL is obviously very small.
Hawks next week.

Um rohan played the first two games and was one of the worst on ground in both games. Couldnt find the pill. Other then the run down tackle today (which should of been called play on cos the player kicked it) he didnt do much today either despite having fresh legs compared to everyone else.
he aint alone. But he is one of the problems right now. Not the solution.
he needs to find form fast.
Stengle, rohan, hawkins and close form all well down on last season. I.e. most of our foward line.
Hey heads up guys and girls. We could be the Liberal Party.

We are just as successful as them at moment
I know its early but im not sure any of bruhn, henry or bowes has got what it takes.
o.henry is just a bit to short to play the third marking option. Has some x factor but not enough to overcome his deficiencies. Seems a bit like a poor mans menzel.
bruhn just looks like another cooper stephens type player who we just got rid of. Doesnt find anywhere near enough ball for the type of role he plays.
bowes just looks too soft.

Baffled why Hawkins and to a lesser extent Stengle are out there, clearly not fit. Close looks disinterested, paddy looks cooked as does Touey. Looking like a long long year
