Every now and then your team has a chance to get a special win. The likelihood is Dons get smashed Friday. But they have a chance to give their supporters a heroic win. Fkn get em! 💪🏽🔥

Makes it even better. They traded in to grab Roberts. Looks like we didn’t use 61?

Did the Massimo pick 61 turn into Roberts at pick 54 in 2023? (Academy picks brought it in?)

I have grave fears for the Dons chances this week.

No Caldwell, no Langford really hurts.

Dees have lost to good teams mostly…

Interesting tracker stats on afl app this season. Explains a few things…

Harry Jones features highly too in previous games and Hobbs led workrate v Crows

“Dons look to turn on lights against revived Power!” ⚡️ 📰

I think Rothko’s game review is spot on

Thanks Ant. Fine to gamble forward when yr good but there’s a critical point at which you double the pain.

We need to blood the youth so I’m up for it.

Back 6 have basically never played together which makes it hard

Thanks @anthproc.bsky.social. Great analysis!

Theory: could the running game looking for the follow up handball lead to players being out of position defensively?

When disposal consistently fails to hit a target the energy cost would be hard for players 😩

Could be another tuff weekend for Dons - Crows are flying. 4 good recruits and Rankine didn’t play in last clash.

Reckon I’ll tip Crows 😬

Reaction pods not up or is it just me? 🤷🏽‍♂️ @scooterefc.bsky.social @kyptastic.bsky.social @jonathanjwalsh.bsky.social

Let’s fkn see it Bombers!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Fair call on Hobbs. Probs Redman too. Open to Duursma. Love Martin but not a physical player in my book.

Dons toughness list:
Caldwell
Durham
Merrett
Draper
Laverde
Roberts

Backline lacks toughness

Agree. I think the Cats in particular are a good challenge 👍🏻

Pay out Goldy and sign Edwards and Baldwin!

I met his folks on the hill at the intraclub. They were super nice and said it’s hard for him with his building job and footy

Hopefully VFL at least

Is Hoare no longer an SSP candidate?

It’s so easy to get overly optimistic. I’m also checking my own inflated hopes. First two games are massive!

Getting a healthy dose of realism on the Dons: 4th worst list, over/under 9 wins…anything is possible but good to get some external data. @jonathanjwalsh.bsky.social @jasperchellappah.bsky.social @scooterefc.bsky.social @anthproc.bsky.social

The McGrath midfield minutes might just a be to sharpen his skills around stoppages. Make sure he’s getting plenty of action in preseason, especially if black team is dominating

@jasperchellappah.bsky.social @efctrackwatcher.bsky.social

Would I be right in saying less than 60%: Parish, McKay, Caldwell, Davey, Cox, Ridley?

My maths might be way out: 8 weeks pre-season? 3.2 weeks missed = 40%

Maybe not too bad? @scooterefc.bsky.social @jonathanjwalsh.bsky.social @kyptastic.bsky.social @anthproc.bsky.social

High performance as per SEN: critical factor being the number of players that have done more than 80% of pre-season and number of players that have done less than 60% of sessions …

I think expectations are getting out of control on Tsatas! What I saw yesterday doesn’t justify the hype. He’s still got a few mids in front of him. Don’t want him set up for a fall 😬
