on the border running in free, loose targets ahead. near certain goal. turned it into a less than fifty percent. wrong player to give it to unfortunately.

WTF does god mean?
Silly!!!!

Leadership and goal kicking hey?!
Is that your argument? I answered your question, you reply with "hey?!". I think you know what god means, not silly, simply practical. Don't play dumb now.

I've told you I'd love to stand next to you at Sandy and listen to your take, now I'm not so sure. I believe you love your best players but give nothing to the kids or acknowledge effort by those outside a Top 10 B&F or a Brownlow vote. I think there's a name for that.

Keep it up boys.
RoMa's not doing much. Unless he is injured, he needs to pull his finger out. Zero marks so far.

Great half, did not expect to be in front and dominating.

Great tackling in forward half.
Byrnes and Connelly looking very lively for guys with a handful of games.

Zac Jones looking good straight away.

Do we re-sign Dunstan....a cue is quietly forming for his 2022 signature

Yeah, the way he fumbled the ball and let it go through his legs enabling them to get a goal really confused them. So far, two of their goals are directly attributable to his mistakes - and they only have 4. And he's a forward and not a back - thank Christ.

Yes but he needs to know when to stay down and not fly for the ball every single time - he spoiled King once and nearly spoiled Membrey who were both in better positions to take the mark (Membrey took his but missed the shot)

Not saying he cant fly for it but he needs to be able to assess some situations better.

Free kicks - 6 to 3 our way with 7:00 to go in the first

Cheers B.M., I understand plenty & yes Tony Lockett was a great leader because he did his job. I do not believe a leader is someone who gets a free pass when they fail with a simple opportunity. If you do, good luck.

Plugger was a leader. Membrey is a leader. Plugger made it count. Goal kicking is a quality that leaders possess. Membrey failed this aspect in the first half.
