x2....Got nothing to lose and everything to gain... good for 2 goals a game....no brainer IMO.
Essendon kept playing Joe Daniher even when he performed in a ludicrous manner, we need to get games into Mckay, Kerr.
We got pumped by Brisbane...how can it get worse.....?

Personally I’d prefer non negotiable conditions, but I’ll conceed that the years probably gone beyond that.
Yet still, I’m not worried so much about kicks marks and goals, but tackles and hitting packs with intent.

My recollections of Grigg was that he’s an outside player and because of his size we wanted him to play inside.
Whatever twoing and froing went on I wasn’t privy to, but if I was offered similar deals but one club said “we want to play you to your strengths” and the other club said “We want you to harden the farkk up and give us some crash and bash”
Which club would you choose ?

I loved that bit of play on the southern back flank when Casboult was 1 on 4. Got blocked, fought past it, brought the ball to ground, still no teammate to help, fought them all on the ground and then got the ball over the line for a throw in. Absolutely zero on the stats sheet but absolutely vital for a guy who spent the whole day against 2 opponents minimum.

So many so quick to point out the negatives you can really miss out on some great bits of play. I thought Levi fought hard and if he doesn't touch the ball much but draws a crowd allowing Charlie a bit more space... I'll take it.

He did well in that passage, but it’s bloody hard to carry anyone who isn’t making an active contribution.
We have several guys who regularly make low contributions, it’s why we talk about the taggers of old, because they don’t exist anymore.
today you need to be able to hurt going the other way, and with 3 misses he didn’t hurt them...

I have a soft spot for Levi, but after today, I'm struggling to remember why. Boy he really sh1ts me sometimes. That very last kick was about 30 out, almost in front.  :(

Oh well, his time with us is much closer to the end than the beginning. That's something I guess.

Whatever issues Harry Mac has, he's a good set shot, and would have nailed 2 and possibly all 3 of those.

7 days after a compound fracture ?
You could have chopped his arm off with a blunt butter knife while he was watching and he wouldn’t have flinched, but yeah he did stink it up out there.

No doubt....there's just something about his effort I like.

I reckon he probably needs to go back to the VFL next week and build on the senior experience.
Maybe another 1-2 games before the end of the season.

I like something about him too, and dare I say it, that bloke everyone was talking about this week had a pretty quiet start to his career...
