For those watching, is May taking kick ins for The Dees?

 

[KLo30]

The instructor in my self defence class told me that the most effective place to kick a man is near his knees.
Personally, I think it’s nuts.

Isn't that the same place?

I don't know that he's had all of them but he's definitely had a lot!

 

[Tamuhawk]

No such thing as too many Bulldogs mids 😂

 

[Hondo]

I get that WB aren't going to dominate the midfield like this all the time but does this punch a hole in the "they'll take points off each other" narrative? All their big guns are over 100 at 3QT and they seem very adept at making sure their prime movers get the ball as often as possible.

Practice match I think don’t draw big conclusions from it. Don’t totally ignore it either with this new rule change.

I'm super interested in the way the play seems to benefit those inside/outside mids like people have mentioned, more than the pure in-the-guts types.

Has me looking at starting Jelly/Macrae types instead of Petracca/Oliver/Cripps types

Is it just this game, or other preseason games, that the play seems to benefit the inside/outside mids?
If it is a trend with the new rules, then that is something that needs more thought.

Not sure, but Dunks and Bont have had 20 and 15 CPs respectively. And Daniel and Macrae have had 35 touches at good DE. So that sounds about normal to me.

Are FA -4?

Gawn 0/4. If frees were 4/0 would he not have 32 more points?

Hopefully we get the 103k Mr. Fix It in Anthony Scott playing round 1.

 

[mike89]

Bont raises the bat for 200!

 

[AngryAnt]

Double ton right on the siren.
Would have been better if Melbourne played their midfield today.

 

[BIGB0Y]

Bont 200
Dunk 168
Macrae 156
Daniel 135

Sucked me in last year too

Scott any chance of a game come round 1?!

 

[jobeywatto]

Think McNeil and Scott both get R1 berths based off that. Two playing 102k mids would be handy.

They took points off him

I think so! Has kept JJ out I think (who's playing in the 2s). Scott played HB.

Treloar to come back in too.
