A lot of the time our defence looks OK but it's those occasional lapses into confusion that show we don't quite have it 100% yet. BB seems determined to persevere with it though. A better midfield would no doubt be a big help.

Docherty and Williamson will make a huge difference.
One is AA and the other is a very tough competitor with speed, size and a good kick.

How is Williamson?.....is he back doing light training, heard conflicting reports about how serious his back injuries are?
Really want him back in the team as he is a class player in the making....

He was always going to be out for the season, he is no worse than McKay was a year or so ago!

Watching football at 5am was interesting. Amazing how much more grumpy you get watching footy at that time when things aren't going as they should. Wonder what people in the other room thought hearing some  idiot swear at the phone in a foreign language.  Lol.

Beauty about the Telstra roaming, I can watch on the app with no data charging.

Any streaming/buffering issues Jim?

Occasional but short periods and not that often.

With Charlie, Harry, TDK & Weitering it is clear we have our big man stocks sorted out for the future, especially with Kerr, Macreadie and hopefuly Ben Silvagni to come through. I think with Docherty, Byrne, Plowman, Marchbank, SoJ, Williamson,  & Schumacher means I believe we have our future defence and utilities sorted. What we need sorted is our midfield mosquito fleet supporting Cripps. Dow, O'Brien, SPS, Fisher, Pickett, Garlett, Lang, Kennedy, Cunningham, Polson and those we bring in through the next draft need to improve and build up our mid-field and small forward pressure and goal kicking ability. That is what I got out of Sunday's game.

Good to know for future reference. Thanks Jim.

Is it just me or does others notice that Obrien is tracking along nicely and considering the midfield he has found himself in, he has delivered a very decent first year. Dow gets the credit but this kid is tracking very well in Dows shadow.

I know he has a long way to go but he hits a target by foot as good as any of our kids, in fact Im more comfortable with the ball in this kids hand then many of our senior guys.

Plus his fitness is amazing for a first year player. The kid runs and runs and is one of the few that finds space late in games.

He doesn't have the tricks of Dow but im confident this kid will make it.
