Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Post Game Parley-2019 AFL Rd 2: Carlton vs Port Adelaide:
Where's Chuck at, jarred knee? What's that mean, bruising to the internal cushioning/ligaments?
I thought he looked more "on" prior to this happening.
Just came on the Sunday Footy Show and although he sounded pretty positive (i.e. it felt pretty good) he did say he had to wait for the scan results. Seemed pretty confident it wasn't anything serious but who knows.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: TFS Rebooted
Like the Front Bar do right?
Had a fair bit on last night on the women's footy.

I think we should look at replacing Garlett in defence with SPS and try Garlett on a wing.

I don't think it's a dumb idea at all. Ruck, on-ball, backline... anything, just get the kid into the game

Our ability to win the ball and drive it forward into the waiting arms of the opposition thereby allowing their return entry and score should be a stat. We would be the ladder leaders.
Of the new blokes (non-draft) I thought Newman was the best. He's slow but at least he can kick.
Walsh was super impressive. Looks like we've got a good one there.
Charlie continues his poor JLT form. When you get the bronx cheers taking a mark it's a dead give away.
Ed, Gibbons and Fasolo up forward - major MAJOR fail.
McGovern, not fantastic but does compete. Harry I think has improved somewhat and at this stage has passed Charlie??! WTF!
Murphy on the wing I think works and will extend his career, I believe, for some time.
Probably the best game I've seen Thomas play for a while.
Weitering started well but got worse towards the end (tired?)
Jones, rock solid I thought but will probably be getting a holiday for the off the ball incident with Reiwoldt.
Fish, love him but a bit rusty. Will improve
Cripps, bloody hell. What a player.
Phillips battled hard but his opponent kicked 3 goals. Tighten up.
Cunningham, SPS, Plowman, Dow were serviceable without being fantastic
Simmo played a good game I thought. Continues to surprise, but for how much longer?
Setterfield, not too bad. Was fumbly which is how he played in the JLT so that's a concern but willing to give him a few more weeks. Missing a goal from directly in front 40 metres out doesn't help.
I'm not going to go on about game plans. There's isn't real scientific nor is ours but they execute better (see my first point). However we do tend to over handball. Rather handball to a teammate that take the responsibility of kicking. Why?
Thought we'd do better, but that start killed us. Knew we'd spent our tickets in quarters 2 & 3 catching up. Thought Rance going down might help but we were too tired tired in the last to take advantage.
Very, vary annoyed at that effort.

Hope they can at least fight it out to the end ala last JLT v Collingwood. 4 quarter efforts is all I'm after.

Negatives:
Charlie is playing badly and has to stop trying the low percentage superstar stuff. Stop reading the press and do the team thing.
Our gameplan appears to be, bomb the ball long into the forward line and see what pans out.
Garlett, Polson, Thomas and McGovern.
Our backline is struggling with quick entries and on kick ins.
Room for improvement:
Setterfield. Kicking for goal.
Positives:
Midfield. Kept at it until the end. They seem to be manning up a lot better when defending.
Think we have heaps to improve on.
Really happy with how Weitering is playing.

Oh and thanks to the umps for really driving the dagger in. Pathetic display.

There's a rumor floating around that Christian has recommended to Hocking that Cripps gets offered a week for the Swallow tackle, but the AFL has yet to tick off on the recommendations! If Cripps isn't cleared it's going to be bullcrap!
There is seriously something wrong with our game if Cripps gets rubbed out for tackling a bloke. What has this great game become?
