I like the ins. I didnt watch the 2's last week but I liked Lukacs and Menzel's game the week prior. Good to see a new player in. Reward for good performances in the 2's.

Harry Dawkins has been knocking on the door for a while, was best in the 2's last week, deserves the opportunity.

I see him among the top possession getters every week.


I just looked at his profile on the club website. Another mistake or he is a short fat player

From what I can see on the app Bruce and Watson in the seconds

Ahh ok

Looking at the match, Jack Firns is really off. He is trying but his skill level has dropped.

Will someone rip that flag down that blocks the camera view of the northwestern pocket.

I can’t recall who but last week a fan said to me he’s one who needs to go end of the year he’s not up to league

He has been up to league. Just down on form.

Yeah I’m just saying what I was told by a fan at the game last week

Didn't realize the game is on C7. I watched the 1st 1/4 on digital. Absolutely unwatchable. Out of focus.

I wondered what you were watching saw that on sa footy

We came back well in that 1/4. We just need to raise the eyes a bit more when passing.
Some low possession with our talls in the stats.
Is Thommo still out there.?

I wondered if Thommo was playing he’s on that teenager up at FF

Why couldn’t we play like this against the crows . A improved eagles out there today .

Thommo is there. Just thought he was quiet in the 1st half.
We sure messed a few forward entries that 3rd 1/4 where goals looked certain.

Need more out of Lukacs and Bellenden.

We played better today still lost

One of our better efforts over 4 quarters. Ballenden gets into front posi a lot but hands are not good.
Toumpas ( harsh I know) picked out the opposition about 5 or 6 times with a lace out kick and when we locked
the ball inside 50 struggled to manufacture a score. If we can retain players which is an issue all SANFL clubs
face, I think we have some players to work with. DBR, Beattie and Mawson have showed some growth and Dawkins
did some decent things. Key position recruits should be our priority.Playing small is fine but our decision making,
particularly with our last kick going inside 50 has been terrible. Let's hope we can finish strong at Wood Oval and
recruit well

Very happy with the team's efforts despite the loss. Last week was completely unacceptable given what was on the line so to turn it around was very pleasing. Our team was not as skilled as Sturt with some gaping holes but it just goes to show that if you can bring the right attitude you can push (and almost beat) the better teams in the competition.

Our KPIs to season's end must be to play with that attitude, to give some of our fringe players an opportunity and even to experiment playing players in different positions.

I thought T Menzel played very well in his comeback game. I'd love to see him going around again next year and feel like we've only seen a fraction of what he can deliver. I hope we can convince him that he would play an important role.

We desperately need a backup for David B. He tries his hardest, but gets overwhelmed as the day goes on by 2 big (or bigger) opponents. And is there a game plan? We don't sem to have one'....kick and hope.

Good call Titan2 regarding T Menzel. We still need some core experience and some quality recruiting and we'll be back in the hunt
