2nd preseason game v North

[Mountain Man]

No Sinclair (concussion) so Ladhams rucking in VFL makes sense.

Wont be able to watch , might catch a replay later , can someone update on how McAndrew goes ? Saw him in the magoos way back when , thought he was ok . He is known as Stretch around the club .

[Mark26]

Great to see all the injured players at least named in the VFL side. Melican, Amartey, O'Riordan, Sheather, and Corey Warner all listed. Basically we must almost have a clean list with regard to injuries. Lachie Rankin appears the only player missing from both teams apart from Buddy. Hopefully just rested.

Don't know anything about the three TBC players, Melville, Hughes and Gabilla. Does anyone have any info on them.

I thought Rankin sustained a thumb injury last week against GWS.

Conditions for today's game look to be a lot better than expected based on the curtain raiser game.

Yes, much better than predicted, but as I look at the radar, there is rain heading right toward Homebush.

As I look at the radar, there's now an ugly storm right on top of Homebush. Uggghhh!

Although, looking again, it may pass by game time? But there looks to be another one coming in behind it.

So funny to hear Eddie Betts saying he's going to run onto the field if Buddy kicks his 1000th in the game against Geelong! (where he'll be working sitting on the bench)

My only comment so far is just how much from afar Paddy McCartin looks like Grundy in the 39

Other then that, a slow start on a pretty wet old day by the looks of it.

Beautiful from Logan Mcdonald - great grab and kick never looked like missing.

[Faunac8]

Good mark from Hayden showed some real strength .

If he’s half the player, we’ll be very well served

[Faunac8]

Great second effort from Rowbottom

Absolutely! Just has that style from afar that makes you look twice.

Took us some time to warm our way into that term, but last 10 minutes was pretty good. A lot of kicking long and hoping into the forward line at times, but some good signs. And while North is challenging us when they do get the ball by trying to break through midfield with pace and numbers, we are managing it pretty well - some good chase downs already.

McInerney in particular very busy so far, Campbell seeing a lot of it too, and McCarting continuing his push for a starting spot Week 1 (likely not in doubt now).

[Foreign Legion]

Not a bad second part of the 1/4 - we could not take a mark for the first 15 minutes

McInerney was very good. Warner/Stephens/Campbell good. Paddy looking pretty solid.

It looks like its not raining unless the camera changes to a closer view and you can see it is still raining a bit. One things for sure - our players will have trained in this weather a few times in the last few weeks.

[Ralph Dawg]

We look so much better with Heeney in F50.
