Great to see Zach back himself to win the one on Tuohys.

Wait till next year when we get Threloar.

Disappointing to see the media trying crucify Gibbs. It was unfortunate that the bloke's head hit the turf but it was a good tough fair tackle with accidental collateral damage. If the guy had got up and kept playing no-one would be saying boo about it.

If the MRP are consistent, and take the player's eventual well-being into account, then Gibbs will get off. Gray not only sat the game out on the bench, but wanted to come back on. He's completely fine.

I noticed I was Robinson Crusoe in my booing of that drug cheat yesterday. Every time he even went near the ball I called him drug cheat. But no response from the rest of the crowd.

Based on his output they probably didn't realise he was playing.

Booing means you are racist

If we apply yesterday's tackling ethos in our next game against the drug cheating scum I will be very very happy.

Is there anywhere you can find a free kick break down? I was trying to remember how many holding the ball frees we got but I lost count.

Don't remember the last time we made so many tackles stick. I think Nick Graham got 3 or 4 himself.

It's promising, but I don't think we'll be riding the highs of a premiership in October

@#$%&! it was nice to win after so many miserable losses.

The crowd felt louder than the 28K in attendance and I saw lots of families there with young kids so hopefully that stopped a few of them wanting to switch teams

We got a bit of luck at the end but we deserved the win.

Cannot believe how good Cripps is already and I really enjoyed Bell and Graham's games as well.

I also cannot believe the change in the team since we told Mick to @#$%&! off.

Champion Data might provide it if you were paying for a subscription, but that's not available for the general public. I know that both Champion Data & Prowess provide the locational data for a free kick (i.e. near goal, in defence, etc).

Not sure if the infringement reason is necessarily recorded, but I don't imagine it would be tough to have them assign a tag for it either.

Great win, but hold on...

So so good Blues!

Restored my faith and reminded me that our list is not half as bad as the media have been saying. (We just had a shit one dimensional coach with a massive ego).

Port were playing for their season and we were better.

Barker has won me. If the team keeps playing like that we have our next coach in place. (hard to knock his apprenticeship path)

Cripps is scary good. At one centre clearance he dished the ball out three separate times before we finally took it away.

I owe Nick Graham an apology. Showed me he can play today. Hope he makes me more and more wrong as time goes on.

Murph a different player since Madhouse gone. Standing tall again and reminding us how good he can be.

Curnow - great strength focus endurance and effort.

Bell - love what he brings.

The pressure around that ball and the tackling 'with intent' was something we haven't seen for a long time. The whole team can walk taller this week.

Loved what I saw. Thanks Blues and welcome back!

I AM. I hate that race of drug cheating scumbags.

I also gave the diving drug cheat a serve as well yesterday

I could probably just go back and count them if I feel so inclined. I can remember most of them, there's probably some that have slipped my mind.
