Sinclair - back and getting better every match
Wilson - two attributes- has time and a tank to go all match
Windhager - doing the hard work
Hayes - excellent 1st 3 quarters- will be better as fitness returns
NWM - calm and clever

Most times when having a shot on goal, the player is knackered after running hard to set up position and/or to outrun an opponent to mark. Should training taking set shots at goal be done after they've done sprints and or endurance training to replicate the feeling they have in games rather than &qu...

A couple of reasons we won the frees 1. We were first to the ball most of the night 2. Pies tackling was poor (and mostly high) 3. Often late illegal spoils of what would have been marks anyway I did enjoy 3 x umps watching carefully Higgin's last goal and keeping their whistles in their pockets....

Just a pleasure to watch. When he has the ball you have confidence he's evaluated the options and made the best decision he can. Class players look like they've more time and NWM has that definitely.

All round enjoyable game to watch, particularly against the so called benchmark of 2022/2023

Looks like clash of strong personalities - both appear to be "my way or the highway" sort of guys.

Still a long way from sorting out an "oval" facility in Auckland. The new government now has canned the Western Springs option due to flood issues and a blowout in the redevelopment costs. Now preferred option for test cricket in Colin Maiden Park. Looking to develop like Hagley oval in Ch...

5. SInclair - everywhere
4. Hill - everywhere and back
3. Steele - Dangerwho?
2. Marshall - great last goal
1. Battle - just in front of 19 others

Membury linking up the field has been really missed whilst he was out

Bombers being blasted off the ground by Giants - a nice watch before the big game…

Definitely! Just the type we need. Gets a lot of the ball and can clear it from the centre. Steele/Crouch/Flanders would be a good mid field

Really good points made by OS about the setup of the team, it's youth and the injuries we've had. I think a lot of us (myself included) almost believed in what happened in those first half dozen rounds might be sustainable all year. Reality is it didn't and the youth, injuries and inadequate depth o...

Wasn’t Carl player / coach at Demons?

Great quarter. Sinclair huge, but Brad Hill really working hard and being a key link through the middle.

When Blues don’t get frees for their shots they look a shadow of what they looked in the first half.

Wilke and Battle saved the day a number of times. 30 disposals between them.
This is tight - think we’ll find out how fit both teams are

Great organisation. Everyone doing their job…love watching Wilkie and Battle just control the backline

Like the positivity of the game plan.

I don’t put up training posts for them to go off on this ridiculous tangent. It’s disappointing for the guys on here that can’t get there & like some updates on what’s going on at training. Saintmike65 - it is appreciated by me and (my assumption) many of us internationally based supporters. Lo...

I think this is the most interesting/exciting thing about the major shakeup during the off season. There seems to be (whether is works or not!!) a defined and directional strategy going forward. Last year (particularly at the later part of the year) there seemed to be a feeling that if we met resist...

I liked it wasn't the normal "media speak" of new admin/coaches, and showed some spark and willingness to talk through the cliches and do the job. I hated that he felt he had to say it (when nobody else has), not that he said it

Only 2 free kicks for a quarter - see if that lasts
