Against the bottom side... If Wright can't get his confidence up here then it's very bad

 

[Vindicater]

Lol.

At least the VFL coaches understand Perkins is a forward.

 

[ant555]

Lol.

At least the VFL coaches understand Perkins is a forward.

You think that Scott and co have no say in the VFL side ? I think the odds of him playing some midfield time are still high.

 

[Blind Turn]

Wright should not attend a single ruck contest.

Perkins should not be a held over emergency.

Heppell not belittled by being named it would seem.

Can Lual make things happen as a HF? If he truly lines up there I’d be curious as to how they want to use him. Is it as a creative HF or as a defensive pressure forward?

 

[Vindicater]

Yeah I know that.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

2MP dropped two sitters first qtr… confidence must be very low

 

[Happyskeret]

Vigo looks like he’s filled out a bit since the start of the year.

 

[biglaycock]

Tex has beautiful skills, I hope his body doesn’t let him down again. Would love to see him get a run at it

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Another nice pass by Tex ..sets up Archie who just misses

 

[carnthedons]

Don’t mind the blonde fella in 80, McKay is it?

 

[Howard Moon]

Setters is wasted down here

80	Solomon McKay

 

[Vindicater]

Let them back into abit there but looking pretty good.

 

[Happyskeret]

Setters is wasted down here

I don’t understand it.

 

[andleanback]

Why isn’t j davey playing. Plays his best game and is rested?

 

[TheGrizz]

Why isn’t j davey playing. Plays his best game and is rested?

He is playing.... He is just no where near the pill today.

 

[Howard Moon]

He is playing.... He is just no where near the pill today.

Seemed very flat and limped off at HT but still seems to be out there

 

[Howard Moon]

Vigo putting Pete to shame in the air

How's his ruck work? Shoukd Bryan be worried?

 

[Howard Moon]

Goldy rucked all day

 

[Maxabillions]

Peter just took a good grab and goaled

 

[Zach Package]

Did I hear that right? Bullants have David Buttifant doing their S+C?

How does a stand alone club with no money that’s barely hanging in by a thread end up with better personnel than one of the richest AFL clubs? Can someone explain that to me

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Setters 35 touches at 3 qtr time.
