Brownlow Medallist
Imagine being sent to play a game in a billion degrees, in a location that the big Melbourne clubs will never dream of having to play, and still never getting a home final when you earn it.
Autopsy Cats lose to Suns by 64 points.

Toby Conway.
25 hitouts.
21 disposals.
18 contested.
10 clearances.
Never stopped giving 100%.
He's gunna be a star ruck if we can keep his body right.

Well over to you Scott. Don't much care about what happened after half time but again when the game was on the line we gave up multiple goals, and when we had chaces going inside 50 we butchered it.
Our ability to arrest their momentum and capitalise on ours has been terrible these last few weeks, which is inexcusable.

Can't do that after the effort though.I’d love Scotty to stop playing the umps always right card and let these maggots have it in the presser. Cop the fine, cop the bullshit “please explain” and just say what we are all feeling. Yes we were gonna lose this regardless cos our midfield is worse than a VFL side but that first qtr was pure corruption
A quarter time glare or gobbing off would have been better
Those stats are Ottens-esque.

Preview Rd 10 Geelong v Gold Coast Thu May16 730pm at TIO
Would have liked to have seen a young bloke in for Cam Guthrie for this one I get they are trying to get klm in to him but Darwin is not the ideal venue for that IMO, and I expect him to be off the pace by half time.- It's not rocket science poor selection by the club.
Well beaten in the middle. Didn’t handle the conditions as well as the opposition. Shockingly one-sided umpiring; by half time I think they had 6 times as many free kicks. It was a perfect storm.
Stengle, Holmes, Conway were good. It’s all a good learning experience for the younger players.

If we can get a gun bull clearance mid or two next year that’ll be handy for the next 10 years as Conway is going to be a absolute gun

He was great, the absolute highlight for us. Really gave his all for the entire match.
Conway was really promising. His second efforts were great and he’s only going to get better. Leading clearances for us with 10.
Oisin has to play every week from here on in. Has loads of speed, looks like he could be a possible tagger, and his kicking has improved immensely.
There’s lots to work on with Neale. Could’ve easily had 5/6 shots on goal but couldn’t hold the pill. Still kicked 2 anyway.
Really troubling signs from 2E, Cuthrie, and blitz.

Yep- really like him.
Although I guess should have seen it all coming when he kicked back in the goalsquare for their first goal. Sheesh.

Hoping one of Bruhn, Clark or Knevitt could grow into that player, if so look out.
Conway-Knevitt has great chemistry at the falcons.

Holmes has been our best player all year and received coaches' votes effectively every week off half-back but I think he's got to be a permanent midfielder from now on. The rebound plan was working a treat early days with him as the main weapon but the last few games whenever the ball goes in our D50 they're scoring with little/no chance to rebound. He's got pace and he can find the footy - with no Dangerfield it's exactly what we need in the middle.

Guthrie needs to be dropped to the VFL, get some fitness and form because he is a liability right now.

Been worried about the midfield for the past 3 games, without Danger and an in-form Cam Guthrie we are a fair way off good teams.
I don’t take too much out of tonight - the apparent temperature in Darwin is still 30°.
Dempsey’s first half and Conway’s first quarter were great, very exciting players. Holmes and Miers were good, Clark OK, a bit quieter than I’d hoped coming on fresh. Neale and co weren’t helped much by delivery.
9 days till the Giants at home. Two wins from the next 3 would be good - lost over 10% tonight.

Time for the MC to dispense with the pecking order. All of the midfield is on notice, bar Holmes (who went in there in the second half).
Parfitt should stay in on effort if not polish, but he's never had that.
Mullin has to stay in the team too, not matter where he plays.
Reward good VFL form, penalise poor AFL form. Simple. Surely it's worth a try.

Conway was injured last week.
He has some potential but is a long way off it. He was a big part of the problem with his ruck positioning tonight.
Very inexperienced. Going to take a while.

Worst is we are going to be cooked for next week as well.

Disagree. He was miles better than Stanley was last week.
It's a sad sad world when you're yelling at Atkins in your lounge room to kick the 100th point.
15.10 would get us a few wins up until now this year, CBF looking it up.
Suns too good, congratulations to the players, Hardwick sucking lemons looking old fartish.
We were 3 changes too many, played shite bar a few, simple as that.
Thrashing never happened when we played old though, get back to the pensioners pls.

I have no issues playing a game in Darwin. Same with Hobart or Launceston etc.Imagine being sent to play a game in a billion degrees, in a location that the big Melbourne clubs will never dream of having to play, and still never getting a home final when you earn it.
Everyone should be able to play everywhere.
