Faaark J Web is good.

I am a fan of Dylan but he needs to tidy up his kicking and handballing. Too many at guys feet.

Radio commentary saying we've been good especially in endeavour, but just missing some polish and not taking our chances.

promising thing about our young guys is that they seem to 've matching it with quality sides it's just running out matches, surely this will come with time.

Both goals from looong left foot kicks over the top. Credit to Lonie and Webster.

Really good intensity from the saints. Its the quick rebound thats gonna hurt us again. Need a real 4qtr effort this week. They might be tiring in the 2nd half.

Lonie might be good and he is getting the ball but 28.6% disposal efficiency is really letting the team down.


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

He's definitely the one kid with the most X factor of all of them. Few mistakes and missed opportunities but looks the goods.

Right. Much better than getting smashed in the first half and then having a minor rally in the third quarter thanks to the veterans. This feels more like there's something serious to build on.

Kicking the ball to unchecked opposition players is just plain undisciplined footy and cost us dearly- would be nice to see better defensive work in the midfield.

Great intent disposal letting us down bombers will lift this qtr need to keep the pressure or the will kill us with ball movement

The Barometer is on 1030 not a cloud in the sky very fair weather Bunk might miss out on the team giving it a red hot crack today due to some irrational belief he holds that doesn't really get anyone anywhere in life.

Lucky break for us then. Bruce is an absolute star.

I know the jumpers are similar but someone needs to tell Dylan to stop picking out Bombers players.
