- Ginbey - super game
- Gov - just being Gov
- Kelly's 2nd half
- Jack Williams will be a star
- Good to have another debutant

- Injuries to Yeo and Long
- Hammy to Harley

3 jumper punches to the neck?
Surely not. They sent him back on afterwards.

Cripps watched half the team get their heads ripped off. There's a time and place to stand up, and typically he got burnt by the umps. If the umps had shown any moral fortitude they would have given a fifty for some of the ridiculous coat hangers and stopped that s**t.
The AFL continues with its simplistic and tokenism response. "The head is sancrosant (sometimes).
Completely stupid by Cripps but this is not our year and Cripps isn't likely in our next premiership. We will learn. Essendon won't win either playing that s**t.
Trust the process.

Only a sadder note.
Yeo out means the 100-50 point loss will recommence. It's not an exaggeration it's based on data and facts.
Last year our mid consisted of a Tim Kelly + 50 percent Shuey without Yeo
This time now our mid consist of a Tim Kelly + Harley reid without Yeo.
We need to do whatever we can to shield Reid. If that means more time forward so be it but it's going to get ugly with him being our number 2 mid. Yeo out means our entire development plan of reid need to be redone.

I might have been too fast on the gun with that one.
Few opportunities for wafl boys with a couple of changes, both form and fitness.
Ginbey is going to be a problem. Beats mids overhead but is quicker and fitter than flankers.
Williams putting together a good season. Should be a mainstay for the rest of the year.

Having said that it wouldn't be the strangest thing our medical team has done.
See above.

Why play Ryan in defence in the WAFL to build form, if you aren't going to play him there in the AFL?

Probably to get the ball in his hands. Wouldn't have seen much of it sitting in the Beagles forward line.
Some good improvements from the younger players & a bit of competitiveness is all I'm here for this year. Got it in spades today. Injuries suck, but the build is still building.
It's kind of amazing that we were so close when you consider the amount of passengers and downright liabilities we had out there tonight.
It's an obvious move too. His lack of defensive efforts won't cost us that much more than the offensive errors of witho and Duggan.

Not much to complain about bar the result. We were outplayed for much of the match yet could easily have won the game. Big step forward from last week and last year.
Positives:
Positives:
- Young players were impressive.
- Ginbey and Chesser impacted the match.
- Jack Williams was hugely impressive, not far away from plucking that last mark either
- Jake is looking bloody amazing. Wish he had that last shot just for the coleman race.
- Bailey Williams continues to impose himself on marking contests
- JD getting better each week
- Injuries our long lost friend
- Costly turnovers through unforced errors

Spot on. The only edit I would make to this is Cripps as the first negative. Directly cost us a win.
Including in the coaches box.
Continuing to allow them to have a spare which was killing us whilst whoever was our spare wasn't doing anything.

Simmo on the radio on Long's knee, "Fear for the worst, hope for the best."
Doesn't sound good.
