Just watched the second half:
2. Player camaraderie seems very good ✅

Which only increases when you win on the road and come home with a strong victory. They'll be well and truly talking about Friday night on the flight home!

They might even talk about Saturday night 😉

Looking at the replay (Thank God for the replays on afl.com.au!), Honey played probably his best game in the first quarter: he hit the ball hard, got it and used it reasonably. As for the rest of game, I wonder if he was out there.

Corey Durdin was also very active early, but relatively ineffective after quarter time.

Fisher managed to get 21 possessions, but still underwhelmed. I'd be looking at replacing him soon with someone who can tackle. Maybe someone who can make a decision, if we have someone like that. 1 tackle was all he could manage. Pittonet had 6! Cripps had 8! Walsh had 10!

Best in the VFL was Paddy Dow with 5  :))

Charlie and Kemp didn’t manage one tackle … but 14 and 13 marks might save them from the axe.

Players can follow their instructions to the letter without laying a tackle.  After being down last week, I suspect that Fish met his targets. 

Apparently Fish was second for pressure acts.

It's quite bizarre to consider what is considered "a tackle", versus what is a 1%er, pressure act, contested possession, etc., etc.. The definitions as controlled by the AFL are so rubbery they are barely worth collecting.

For example, Fisher had 1 Tackle, but is 20 Pressure Acts which puts him 2nd only behind Walsh.

Did those pressure acts include putting our blokes under pressure too?

And when the early heat was on, Kempy was really good, with some impressive intercept marks and spoils.


He can really elevate himself to mark or spoil - shades of Liam Jones but a more reliable kick

Absolutely, Ye Rat O' the River. Kemp attacks the contest, backs himself, is pro-active and as you mention really elevates himself into the contest to have an impact. With he and Gov playing similar intercept roles it adds a real steel to our defence, and makes us even harder to score against. Not to mention taking important pressure off, and providing support to, Young and Weits.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Spot on, EB1.

Sorry, but Fisher's indecision and pauses take the speed out of our play... the antithesis of what we're wanting to achieve. Whether he's fearful of making a mistake or whatever, there is little instinct and reflex to keep the speed and heat on the aggott. And I take no pleasure in criticisms of Zachery, like many here I really wanted to see him succeed. But, at present, he's a hindrance to our game plan regardless of how many possessions, tackles etc. he accumulates.
