    I think being the medisub counts as a game, even if you don't get on the ground.

        The trophys look like stuff from a Kalgoorlie Council Cleanup .

          Great effort from the boys. 3rd quarter was garbage but we got moving again in the last.

          4 and 1 has us well placed. Looking forward to getting down to launceston next week and seeing what we can do against the Hawks.

          7 and 2 should be a minimum expectation for where we can be in a month's time.

            Seriously though, his upward evolution continues.
            I'm sure we will see an upwards revision in the threshold now [emoji1787]

              I thought Ladhams was very impressive. He won countless centre bounces and had a big hand in our clean and quick clearances, and around the ground.
              How good was the last quarter by Gulden.

                Fair reflection on the game in regard to Fantasy points but I was surprised how much Luke had contributed.
                Quite the quiet achiever as I didn’t notice him standing out in any particular area during the game.

                  Came home strong in the end. Not sure which Eagles player had a "brick wall" moment when he ran into Tom McCartin, but I greatly enjoyed it.

                  Happy to see McDonald kick a couple of really nice goals and working hard around the ground, making the most of his opportunity.

                  I don't know if we can take much more from that other than "the Eagles are terrible right now", but good to come into the game with the right intent and follow through, after a couple of lacklustre weeks.

                      Here’s a fun story about Mills. Longmire was addressing the Swans board a year before Mills was drafted and asked bout how good Mills was. He said, then, Mills would already would be playing senior footy. Everyone rightly raves about Heeney; I know I do. But Mills is a master.
                      Mills is also a very impressive gut runner. Constantly on the move to provide an option, mainly between the arcs.

                          Great to see Ladhams show something for us in the Ruck. Hope for the future. Fringe players like Ronke, Reid and Bell also showing useful contributions (latter needs to work on his composure).

                            I'm starting to think that the McCartins in defence, should be dubbed The Wall of McCartin.

                              The Iron (Mc)Cartin?
