Xerri has been very good today. Well done big boy

 

[The5YearPlan]

Has anyone come back from it ok?

Didn’t Robert Harvey?

 

[Roostorm]

That's awful for goater. I'm a bit over it now.

Good hit out otherwise for the roos. Extremely tough round 1 draw.

Which friggin footy god did we p&#&# off…..it’s becoming horrendous….
We kept them under 40……

 

[Liam Boy]

Glad they got it under 40 in the end. Far from a disaster.

 

[Samsquanch]

Damn tough on the goat

 

[Psi-Roos]

39points. Scorewise could have been worse but the Goater Achilles makes it feel like 100+

 

[Only Forwards]

so we lost by 39, Collingwood lost by 32.

bunch of positives from the game.

a major negative.

we keep moving forward.

 

[Elite Master]

39 points. Collingwood lost by 32. At least we didn’t get done by 139.

Only being a 39 point margin is actually a minor miracle in itself.

 

[TruRoos7]

Treatment and rehab have moved along quite a bit since then. I'm optimistic.

True it has but it’s still a seriously limiting injury, let’s hope for the best though.

Poor Goat, had such bad luck previously and playing so well to boot.

 

[CURVE]

Haven't been a big fan of Xerri in the past, but I thought he was excellent today, he covered the ground very well, took a number of important grabs and kicked a nice goal. Hopefully a sign of positive things to come.

 

[krakouers]

Funny thing is, I think even with todays result, the two other teams that played today we will leapfrog

 

[amaz199]

Swallow was a little heavier in the legs so it was natural that he lost a bit of penetration in his kicking and leg speed.

Goater being the more athletic profile, it shouldn't be as bad.

 

[RossHenshaw]

Lucky if we avoid the spoon again

 

[krakouers]

Haven't been a big fan of Xerri in the past, but I thought he was excellent today, he covered the ground very well, took a number of important grabs and kicked a nice goal. Hopefully a sign of positive things to come.

+1 for me too, I had massive doubts, think being the main man today made him shine

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Wardlaw's disposal needs a lot of work.

He has been kind of poor today.

 

[Lomas]

Haven't been a big fan of Xerri in the past, but I thought he was excellent today, he covered the ground very well, took a number of important grabs and kicked a nice goal.

It was good to see him take some marks. At VFL level he can, and often dominates, but has lacked it at AFl level.

 

[guapo]

Xerri the biggest positive for me.
The high end talent is very good and should be elite, but still a lot of passengers on our list who don’t make enough contribution

I’m just so praying for the day that we are actually a very good football team. I just miss the good old days.

 

[The Nostradamus]

for the medical experts out there what causes Achilles injuries and how do you prevent the likelihood of it happening?

We’ve had 3 in recent years, is it bad luck or are we not doing something Nell enough to prevent it

 

[TruRoos7]

Well we are currently last on the “active” ladder of teams that have played

 

[Rod Stroker]

Laz was poor. Sure he can run, has a go, but still can't stick passes

 

[muttley45]

Xerri our best by the length of the Flemington straight, well done son, more please

 

[Blightys Barrel]

3. Xerri 2. Sheezel 1. Zurhaar

 

[Nate1993]

What sucks is that McDonald will come in to replace Goater. We already have Corr to give away free kicks inside 50, don't need to double it

 

[Cyber_punk]

I thought we'd get done by 80, so I'm fairly content with that.

Gutted for Goater.

I reckon we'll beat Freo next week.
