Were we better last night than round 1?

All the easy teams are gone now the real stuff begins.

Just marginally better last night - we had to overcome a few things this time had no weitering lost dean late and then Young during the game. umps handled them a few goals very late. Round 1 we only won because Lynch kicked 2-7.

‘All the easy teams are gone’. im assuming you are referring to Ess and Rich only as GWS away Port Away, Geelong and Bulldogs are not easy for a mid teir team.

Ladder and record speaks for itself.

Our record in 2026 vs....

Top 6 teams
0-5

Bottom 4 teams
5-0

Middle 7 teams
3-3

Overall 8-8.

Tell me again about how its all about the coach.

Edited. Fixed error in formula

[4] Ollie Hollands: Ollie really struggled last night. He fumbled a lot and his kicking was woeful. Also, we didn't see his run and carry either.
Will we bring Acres in? Or do we assume Ollie will be better for the run? To be honest, I don't expect Ollie to be that ordinary two weeks in a row, but I think Acres is important to us.

Not suggesting for a moment that Ollie was one of our best, but he played on the wing in front of me mostly against Retschko.

He works incredibly hard pushing back as that defensive winger (Acres also very good at this) and had 17.1 metres covered.   The most on the ground of any player on the ground.   Seth Campbell with 14.9 and Newman with 14.2

I thought his game was fairly unremarkable.     He had 1 clanger for the game and 0 turnovers.   He also went at 84.6% with the ball and 77.8% by foot.

Would love to know what the coaches thought of his game

I'm a fan of OH, but i found that selection a bit puzzling.

What did OH provide that Acres wasn't providing already?
Did OH do anything better than Acres?

Long term, sure, get more games into Ollie.....but i thought it was a bit of a risk and a slap in the face to Acres.
I would've had both in the team and dropped Ison personally.

I don't think I want to play a crap team again. 3 games against two of the sh ittiest sides in years and we won them by a total of 11pts.

I seriously prefer to play a good side. We seems to lift our level. We've beaten sides competing against us for a top 10 spot, rolled Geelong,seems to have started their form slump, but play Essendon and Richmond and we barely turn up and nearly lose.

What's with our goalkicking! We should have stitched that game up early in the last qtr but kicked 6 pts straight either side of 3/4 time.

Careful what you wsh for Jimbo.

Got the hawks next week who have a knack of humbling us.
We lost our last 3 against them by an average of over 6 goals.
We may be down a few defenders going into this one too.

Haynes and Young take eachother out in the contest.

We going to have Derkson going solo next week unless we get some players back.

Hopefully Haynes and Young are ok.
Hopefully Dean comes back.
Hopefully Weitering doesn't reinjure himself.
Hopefully HOF isn't far away

Otherwise forget about finals.

So does the tigers bloke get rubbed out for leading with his head in that contest?

Does Cowan get done because the tigers bloke got knocked out (or close enough too)

By the AFL rules, an accidental headclash, the one who caused the head injury gets in trouble, ie Cowan.


Now clearly, Cowan did nothing wrong. But i say this to highlight how stupid the rule is when it takes into account outcome as a priority.
