Reckon Newman might be an out. His bump was high and he got off the ground. Might miss a few.I reckon 1 week

A nice start would be to stop delivering it to Lever and May on a plater.We didn't do that last night, only May picked off a few when Charlie was out of sorts.
Petracca was on and I dont think anyone was going to stop him if he got enough supply and it was one on one stuff where he excels like Dusty did at his peak.Petracca is a cat who chooses when to put in.
We needed to put more pressure on the delivery and get another player across to help out when we could..
Ms DJC is pretty much a neutral observer and she remarked that she never heard such biased commentary before. She also had a crack at the umpires for some poor decisionsApparently is live, no delay as is the Ch7 telecast. So just turn it on, mute BT and youre away.
BT and his mates do tend to boost the team that's behind so that the punters won't turn the game off but a bit of balance would be a pleasant change.
I must learn how to sync Blues Radio
We've had three tough games in a row.IIRC, Most teams have performed poorly after playing us. Lets see how Melb go next week. Having said that, all games are tough these days, we seem to be recovering well and I expect us to recover well for the Syd game.
Our players looked pretty stuffed (although, happily smiling) at the end of last night's game.
This fourth will be really difficult.
We need to up our pressure which still seems to be well short of last year at times.
Heeney is a worry in a similar fashion to Petracca.
Can play a few roles and be hard to match up on.
From the media coverage you'd think Melbourne dominated this game. Aside from our gun players, I thought a lot of our lesser lights played important roles. That's been overlooked - teams win flags, not a handful of guns within chaff.Arrived home from the game with Junior G2C to be greeted my an angry Mrs G2C. Reckoned the Ch7 commentary was so biased she had to mute it. Ahhhh yes, love it when my effect wears off on family members.
Backs against the wall, line in the sand, facing 3 defeats in a row (to very good opposition).We negated most of their match winners. Kosi, Fritch, Van Rooyen un seen and smashed by our defenders (that's two big scalps in a row for Cinc). Lever was forced to defend all night as opposed to running around unaccountable picking off I50s.
We found a way to win. That's to be appreciated, respected and applauded. The Go Dees were always going to come back hard after qtr time, premium sides do that.
We owned the game for about 35 minutes, they owned the game for about 35 minutes... the rest was an even arm wrestle.
The effort from Petracca was a once in a season brilliance from one person.
Because they are winning (last 4 games) and we've lost 3 of our last 4. I'm not a huge stats fan, my favourite stat is the scoreboard.Time to get rolling like we did second half of last year. Fear no one and mow them down one by one.
This'll be a fascinating contest. Looking forward to it. Something of a 'line in the sand' game for us.
That's better. Much better.When I picked my side, I didn't think Jack would get up. Rapt he has.
ZW should be on the trade table along with a pick. Maybe Bulldogs are stupid enough to bite considering they paid 3rd round for Coffield. Injury prone players with a long history are an avoid.Not even the WB are that stupid.
It is no secret the club needs to rebuild its depth because time is approaching fast to rest senior players periodically. But we havent got any 200 game 30 year olds yet.
Martin won't be fit enough. He needs match fitness in the VFL.If he's declared ready to play, he'll be fit enough. The days of needing matches in the 2s are over for players like Martin. Get him straight in.
