Not great. Just 4 possessions and one behind only. However I must say, the pressure applied all over the ground was fantastic all game and every player was involved in that. Morris has them playing for each other.How did Steely Green go?

That's a shame. Thought he was making progress over the off season.Not great. Just 4 possessions and one behind only.
See my edit. He certainly was involved in pressure acts (as they all were).That's a shame. Thought he was making progress over the off season.
Clearly hitouts is the only stat that matters.
For some reason the Suns thought it was a good idea to just chip it around for the first 15 minutes of the last quarter so that inflated that stat

Its the daylight savings .............................losing an hour ,Whole team looks jetlagged.

He was and should've played round 0 to be fair.That's a shame. Thought he was making progress over the off season.
Sounds like Macca does too ...............it does do funny things.
ive lived on the border for 20 years, and that hour still does strange things to me.
Living on the border, at least you can have sex for 63 minutes!!it does do funny things.

What did you think of Nick Guiney?

Local club - Old Xaverians (VAFA)
Will be like an exciting new recruit in 2024 after last season was wiped out with a debilitating foot injury. Was super impressive in his debut year in 2022 as a tough and athletic defender that can run through the midfield.
I was there today Lamby and you have summed it up beautifully - he was very good with opportunities he hadReally liked Cumberland's game. 9 possessions but most led to goals. Roamed far and wide. His pressure was great and also seemed to be in control of his emotions.
Two nice goals himself. May stole another from him from a Cumbo free . A long range point and goals to Sonsie and Kositske from attacking Cumbo kicks.
If we get a 5 goal contribution from either Junior or Mansell tomorrow I'd be stoked (and surprised)
Agree, being there Steely was ok. Stats are misleading.was very strange tactically.
ball control when your 3 goals down in the last?
I thought tigers looked leg weary in the 3rd. a few blokes gulping pickle juice. I thought they run over us.
then they gave us a 15 minute breather?
ive been Macca-focussed, but other things I saw
Sampson battled well. I think hes a bit down on confidence, which is good news. you can fix that in 5 minutes. shook the *smile* out of a few blokes.
Steely didn't have much opportunity. didn't do anything wrong. just one of those small forward days.
Sonz was very good.
Nay Nay did a good benny gale impression deep in defence in the last.
No.52, think he bacher academy kid? is a goer.
I hope we take El Nour mid season. he's raw, but he relentlessly plays in front, is mega athletic, and goes in and competes, and knows his limitations/shows great discipline and composure. I think he could do Gibbo's role and really come on. he gave Ethan reed 4 inches, and beat him 1:1 a couple of times, and got beat a couple of times.
Suns: Leo Lombard > Jake Rogers. he will go top 10 this year. Will graham is a real goer dimma will love and hell have a career.
(Kane Mccauliffe, pick 40, treated Jake Rogers, pick 14, will graham, pick 20, Leo Lombard, 2024 pick 5? like VFL players.
at one stage, the thought occurred to me that our Macca was only bullying other 18yo's. but I was transfixed by him and he was bullying everyone. he would have demolished jarred Witts if he was playing I reckon.)
I’d prefer the poke in the eyeThere's a replay available for those interested. Commentary a little lacklustre but hey, better than a poke in the eye.

Interesting, looks like they’ve potentially gone over the game and updated stats? Noticeable ones are Sonsie was 26 post game up to 30, another is Smith was 14 now up to 19. To my eye it looked like Smith definitely had more than 14 disposals. Looks like the stat counters for the game were about as competent as the commentatorsView attachment 22208
