Townsend is talking like a manic.

Lloyd getting his left ankle strapped but he'll be coming back on.


We've lifted our intensity this qtr.
Tackles: 15 - 6
Clearances: 7 - 6

[mightytiges]

Too loose on defensive transition through the corridor. Goal to Willy.

28 - 29

[mightytiges]

Good work in close by Rioli. We kept getting it closer to goal via quick hands and taps. Clever by CJ on the goal-line taps it down to Thompson who goals 

Rich  5.4-34
Will   4.5-29

[mightytiges]

Goal to Willy.

34 - 35

[mightytiges]

Good jump and tap by Balta in the ruck at the centre bounce.

LOL. Towner breaks out of a tackle against 3 Willy players. Ordinary kick forward though.

[mightytiges]

Good tackle by Baker forces the turnover. Rioli sweeping handball out of traffic to Ellis who nails it on the run from 40 out  .

Rich  6.4-40
Will   5.5-35

I like the intensity as it shows out the panic merchants that aren’t yet cut out for senior footy.

Too many are very panicky.

Those that look (from what I see) composed; Rioli, Townsend, Hayward, Garthwaite, C. Ellis. Stengle.

[WilliamPowell]

Sitting here gee this is painful to watch

Rioli looking terrific. Class above

15 mins in that qtr showed why we need Townsend in the AFL. Physical presence.

Mrakov has ice in the inside of his knee

We're only going at 50% disposal efficiency. That's what is costing us.

C.Ellis 12
Mannagh 10
Rioli 9
Lloyd 9 (4k, 5h, 8 cont.).


Disposals: 141 - 190
Contested: 75 - 84
Tackles:     43 - 33

Yep. Rioli & Townsend should be ins for the senior side next week.

Willy's pressure and attack on the footy has been very good to be fair. Best VFL opposition we've faced this year. Durnell (sp?) is having a day out.

Agree too many of our VFL listed players have been ordinary today.
