Sounds like Schoey could be an absolute cracker but he’s probably best suited to the 3rd-tall intercepting role down back and if we’re being honest that is the role that both Wilkie and Battle are probably most ideally suited to, so it’s hard to see an obvious opening for Schoey for the foreseeable ...

I know it’s only a Prac match but ess will struggle this season and we will play finals Take it to the bank Does anyone know how keeler went? Have read re Keeler: Positives: Took a couple of intercept marks. Has insane athleticism for his size and moves more like a “flanker”. At one stage he appare...

An interesting one was was Mitch Owens. Had just the 7 touches according to the stats online. For much of last year he was playing as one of our main marking targets up forward, and did really well, but with Max, Skunk and Sharman in there yesterday, Mitch was probably being largely bypassed, which ...

No wonder we got done out of the midfield. Pou played in there all game and had just 14 disposals (only 4 kicks) and Garcia played in there from half way through the 1st and he had just 6 touches. If we don’t get some reinforcements back in there this week we could get smashed in there by the likes ...

Heard some very good things about Shoenmaker and McClennan, while Collard kicked 3 and Hammer looked good.

Being filmed on someone’s phone with a couple of randoms commentating. The commentating was awful It's like they are picking people out of the crowd to do the commentating, these D grade commentators need to know when to STFU. :lol: :lol: I thought the guy was ok in the end but the Richmond AFLW pl...

Apparently Bonner had 28 (22 effective) and 7 marks and was the only one to crack 100 fantasy points for the game.

Nice.

Pitiful performance by Essington.

One of the best you’ll ever see.

Skunk been excellent.

We’re whacking them with our whacker.

Our midfield is decimated. Crouch, Jones, Clark, Dow, Windy. With adversity brings opportunity. Crouch and Clark should play round 1. Bonner might be able to release Sinclair to the midfield. Yeah hopefully most of them will be available for R1. Good opportunity for Garcia (on Parish) and Pou.

Is Langford playing for us? Blown two certain goals.

Membrey prominent.

Those were obscenely quick hands from Henry then and an excellent snap from Garcia.

Done for the day. Hand injury.

Our midfield is decimated. Crouch, Jones, Clark, Dow, Windy.

Bonner dominating.

Pou, Henry, Owens and Henry all quiet.

Reads the play well and is a beautiful left foot kick.

Looking good. Going to be hard to keep him out.

Surprised a guy like him in his prime years was just delisted. Bargain buy.

Garcia in at that last centre bounce.

Wilson very impressive. Multiple touches so far. Bonner looking good. Henry quiet.

3 of our kicks look like they’ve held up on the wind while Essendons goal travelled about 65m.

Windy and Pou in at the first centre bounce.

Windy on Parish.

One interesting thing I noticed on the AFL website article today re average age and experience for each side now that lists have been finalised, is that there are only 3 teams with more who have played 100 games on their list than the 16 we have. Brisbane and Geelong (18), and WB, (17). We’re in the...

On the squad: I'm sorry to see Keeler hasn't been selected. Of all the players at the Zebras last year, I thought he was the most advanced and was hoping he'd get a lot closer during the pre-season. I wonder why Caminiti is in both squads? Perhaps he is only going to be used as a sub tomorrow in th...
