Much better from us in the second qtr. Much more desperation and smarts re playing wet weather footy.

Looks like Fisher has been told to 'get and give' rather than contemplating his navel with aggott in hand.

Matty Cottrell, as Principal LODS said, barring injury... 'see you next Saturday against the Dishlickers, Matty.'

Liked Owies game thus far, along with Fogarty and Binns.

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Rapt to see the improvement in Dominic A's game.

I was going to comment on that.
It's still well off, but it's easily the best I've seen him play.
He looks a bit more assertive and confident going for the ball.
There were a couple of repeat tackle efforts a while back that were really good efforts.

For me it's Owie's (has 1-4 it could easily have been 4-1) and Cottrell in for Motlop (give him a game at the lower level) and Honey.

3/4 time Brisbane by 4 points.
Rain is coming again...we seemed to go better when it was pouring.

Owies's third goal puts us a point in front.

Owies into the senior side next week.
Cottrell drifted out of the game but I'd still give him a senior run.
Fisher 28 disposals...was OK

It may be a choice between Fisher and Cottrell for Honey.

Fisher got plenty but still burnt a lot of it, getting it is not good enough if you waste too much!

Reid is a special player, reminds me a young Docherty.

Owies wasted some shots a bit early on, which probably cost us in the end, but along with Cottrell they are at a higher level.

I'd be inclined to give Fish a couple  more weeks out and try other options.
Reality always wins in the end.

Is Cuningham playing yet? Did he play?

I'd bring in Owies for Honey.
and Cottrell for Cincotta

No Cuningham, and unfortunately we have a bye next week so it'll be a coupla weeks before we see the return of a few to the VFL.

If you're going to replace blokes it's generally a good idea to go for 'like for like.'

Owies for Honey, yes.

Cottrell for ?? (give Dutchy a rest?).

I'm one who holds out hope for players as much as anyone else, but we are at round 10 of 2023.  Marchbank, cunners and Martin have barely been sighted this season.  Not sure how many years we can talk about them coming back before we start to put lines through these players and move on.  You can make that case for Williams next season.

Boyd's an interesting one.
He's a pretty good kick.
Took most of the kickouts today.
He also has a bit of mongrel about him as well.
Could be a good small defender option.

One concern is perhaps his discipline
He plays a bit angry.
Saw him remonstrating with a team-mate when he thought he should have got the ball.

They must still be playing.
Fisher has had another four disposals and is now up to 32 ;D
