Awwwwww. Lovely.
Was just a really satisfying win wasn't it.
Do we all feel emotionally nourished today?

How nice it is to wake up on a Sunday morning after a great win
Ending the hoodoo, ending the Hawks season, and listening to Clarko whinging about Silly Sicilly getting whacked a few times just makes it a touch better again
Our previous close losses this year after leading into the last, and the Hawthorn drought led me to a very negative nelly post in the last Q......happy to say I was very wrong
So many huge positives to take away from last nite too.
The continued rise of Charlie...you need to remind yourself that he is still a boy growing into his frame, but some of his work last nite was superb, with the spoil against 2 opponents and then kick off one step to Levi 30m out sublime. Next year and beyond I doubt there'll be many able to match up on him.
Pickett looks to have arrived. Lightning quick and can take a grab. Could have had 3 with a cm of luck and another we're he should have taken a shot but looked inboard to Kreuz. He could easily be our replacement for Eduardo
Fisher is just a little terrier, runs all day and fast, and has great hands. Work on his right foot over the summer would make him even better. But he's another kid....only first year remember and thrown to the wolves by Bolts to learn. Great draft pick.
Sir Liam is just Sir Liam. Nuff said. His form since returning to the seniors has been AA !! So good to see Byrne back after working his butt off, he adds heaps to our backline and completely fearless. And this seasons stalwarts - Kreuz, Docherty, Gibblett and Murph were great again.
We really do have Blue Skies ahead now. Natural improvement from Samo, Cunners, Williamson, Charlie, Macreade, Fish, SOJ (who had a mare last nite for whatever reason), Pickett, and Harry will see us improve again. Add the return of Crippa, and a big fish in the trade period and look out
