So when is Essendon going to realise that they don't need to play Hooker forward any more and just let him be a full back like he used to. He was a really loving good defender who is being wasted since Daniher doesn't even need him to take the focus.

Hooker pulls out these 4/5 goal games every so often (even though 2-3 of them are usually junk goals) and it hoodwinks people into thinking he's a better forward and earns himself more time in the role. He's the Shane Watson of Essendon.
He's such a great contested marker of the ball, if only there were another part of the ground where that skill would really benefit us...guess we'll never know!

Jenkins has one possession, a handball, at least four dropped marks, at least two of which were uncontested inside 50, both of which resulted in Collingwood goals from the rebound.

Currently sitting on a princely -5 SuperCoach points.

Should have eaten Harry Taylor's ham.

Live, it's extremely stark how much harder Collingwood are running - getting more numbers to every contest at both needs of the ground. It's a genuine "didn't even turn up" effort so far.

But hey, Adelaide had their Grand Final last week.

Milera doesn't even know what a contested possession looks like. He's done, doesn't have a future as an AFL player, does not and never will have it in him to go when it's his turn, make the chase, put his head over the football, any number of things that are non negotiables for an AFL player.

Be nice if they could notify us ahead of time when they were planning to phone it in so we didn't waste our Sunday afternoons watching them stand still on an oval

Exactly what I was thinking. Normally I barely watch anything other than afl.com.au highlights but thought "gently caress it I'm doing nothing I'll chuck the game on for the first time in ages". Hell, I knew there was a football game on, do the Crows?

I don't mind it, it lets Daniher play up the ground a bit and he stops the opposition defense from double teaming Daniher as much as they did last year

Carlton have played 37 players so far this season, including activating two rookies.

And if Kreuzer stays out Gorringe comes in to make it 38. Almost the entire squad.

Might have to call up some AFLW players if we get anymore injuries this season.

Charlie Cameron being afraid of marking contest contact just loses us the match. I'm the Port Adelaide supporter leaving the ground with 2 minutes to go.
