Pro:

Absorbed a heap of pressure in the last quarter but didn't give it away.

A win interstate. Finally the guys seem to take the trips seriously.

A solid - if scrappy at the end - win over tough opposition.

A good team win. A genuine 8-pointer.

Pros:
Dominated the game until 3/4 time
Judd :smoking:
Fevola - after a shaky start, he found his kicking boots
Joseph - he's like the Energizer bunny this bloke
Gibbs - quality in close
Murph - a bit flaky at times, but plenty of quality
Simmo - another solid game from Kade, not brilliant, but solid
Eddie - was quiet, but had some quality touches when it mattered
T-bird - did a good job on Brown
Solid team effort all-round

Cons:
Dominated the game until 3/4 time, but our scoreboard pressure still isn't anywhere near good enough
Allowed them to kick 7 goals in the last
Almost gave up a 5 goal lead
Should have nudged our percentage to 120+

Pros:

Judd
Fev
Joseph
4 pts interstate
Used the corridoor more
Withstood the last qtr challenge
Games into Grigg, Snotland, Carazzo

Cons:

Ch 10 commentary - simply woeful
The 'fans' that won't be happy and still bag our style of play
Fisher - sad to say, but the game really has left him behind

pro : top 4 halfway through the year

After the pre-match discussion thread, let's keep this positive. We won. We won!!!! :grin: :thumbsup:

When you consider the stat re. only one team making the 8 when out of it at the half-way stage, this was vital. We got it, no matter how ugly. 4th, you little beauty.

I had no cons, until I heard talk-back radio: An Essendon* supporter ringing in about Fev getting cheap frees and fifties. An Essendon* supporter saying that about a full-forward. I will never understand the way people view football. :screwy:

Pros
Like all good Coaches Ratts learns from his mistakes.
Workrate and intensity far better
AJ, Army, Browney and Hammer are all stepping up.

Cons
Not happy Black got away so much in the last but Grigga is short of a gallup.
Broken tackles.

Regards Cazzesman

PRO

Aaron Joseph, the player we have been waiting on having in our 22 for years

CONS

If AJ was a flashy ball winner he would get a NRS look in. The fact that he is a defensive type of player (despite not being beaten for most of the season), he won't get the appropriate nomination as a reward

PROS:

- We won a massive game that had big implications on our season IMO.
- Browne, AJ and Army were great in defence tonight.
- Judd, Gibbs and Murphy worked hard, Gibbs was the general that led to our lead.
- Great to have Grigg, Scotland and Carrots get through the game.
- Fev was awesome after a few easy misses early.
- Garlett's forward pressure was top notch.

CONS:

- Fish couldn't get into the game much.
- Betts contines his quiet patch, although McGrath is a quality player.

Agree. Biggest flower in the AFL

PRO:
Somehow won without Rich or Sheldon in our team
Grigg hopefully get a run on now with no injury

Con:
Channel 10 - embarassing
Didn't beat top 4 team by 15 goals so world will end tomorrow
