Review Good/Bad and the Umpiring.

[GrommoT]

Thilthorpe pointing directly at Lachie Jones after he choked was my favourite part.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Everyone's a winner. We get the win, kids look good in Thilt, Max, Rachele, Pedlar, etc and Port take their 400th step closer to Ken's sacking

 

[Southerntakeover]

Thilthorpe's game is huge for us.

For the rebuild to be salvageable, he absolutely has to become a star of the competition. It'd been more than a year since he'd shown those sorts of signs, and the club was blinking on his development. This is it. The big reminder of the promise.

We just must sink games into him- he could become a top 5 in the league type guy.

 

[Multiballz]

More silk than arse in my opinion.

Eddie was great but an arsey player, and I say that with the utmost respect.

Rankine is more polish.

Nah.Nobody cant be that arsey.
Eddie was a consistent freak in his prime. That = pure silk.

Not taking away from Izak whatsoever.

The shit Jones.

 

[Large 1]

Rachele looks ok post match, I was worried when he hobbled off

Cramp in his hamstrings.

 

[FR0GGY]

I know a lot of people don't care, or pretend not to, but * me if we're not winning flags all I want is to be ahead in Showdowns.

Feels good!

 

[Redleg Crow]

Besides O'Brien playing his best game since 2020, Thilthorpe playing his 3rd good game in his career and Rankine, did anyone even play well?

We were poor, no where near as good as 1st half vs Gws, 3rd qtr vs Richmond etc. It just happened to be we were playing a team worse than both GWS and Richmond.

Congrats on winning the dumbest comment on the thread, award

It’d be excellent if Fog/RT become our version of McKay/Curnow, or Hawkins/Cameron

Two elite key forwards in the same side might be the most difficult thing to stop, especially if one has elite height and reach like RT does

 

[Betts are off]

JHF was without question the marquee trade last offseason.

However, Rankine will end up being the higher impact trade IMO.

 

[FR0GGY]

Would be really good if we can knock them off twice in a year.

 

[Multiballz]

Disagree, Eddie is one of the great small forwards over a long long period.

What Rankine has that Eddie didn't have is explosiveness and ability to play up the ground.

And an adults body.

****ing nailed those two trades.

It's the sort of thing that could compensate for not having the best midfield in the league, particularly surrounded by Rankine/Rachelle.

Nailing this year (and probably next's) draft with midfielders will tell the story.

I liked the way Gollant persisted and worked his way into the game

 

[FR0GGY]

You can see Rankine in a pack just waiting for his time to strike and knock the ball out.

 

[Betts are off]

Luke Pedlar, my guy!

I kind of get what you mean. Eddie kicked goals from positions you wouldn't even think were possible at times. That one against GWS that won a goal of the year springs to mind. Eddie might have been the only player to have played AFL to be able to kick that one.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Yeah I didn’t mind his performance, I’m kinda bummed he wasn’t rewarded with a goal

He stays in next week IMO

 

[FR0GGY]

He knocked me out of the goal kicking comp, don’t want to see his face again.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I'm actually surprised it's happened at all tbh

Made me double check. Tonight was the 3rd time in his career.

The aforementioned game in 2014 as well as a game in his debut season vs Carlton

JHF was a massive get for them, and still puts them in the box seat going forward in a lot of ways, that midfield will be good.

Having said that, at 1-2 that's a very nice pick they're sending back in addition to Sheezles.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Should Marshall be cited for his front on hit on Michalanney. Same potential to hurt a player as McAdam 2 weeks ago.

Some of their fans already calling JHF a spud..

Bit bloody harsh after tonights game I thought.
