Houlihan spins, spins and spins some more.

Yep...superb demonstration of skill. I thought his spins on the footy field last night were nearly as good. Go Hoops!

Murphy through the centre - draws the player handballs to Yazz >>>>>> Goal

Cotchin's speckky on Murph...

Okokok...I was kidding...*washes mouth clean*.

Gotta go with Eddie's failed attempt to chip the ball over to (can't remember which player) someone near the goal square, only for the ball to be fumbled but Eddie followed it up with a soccer goal.

Just goes to show what was meant to be his, will always be his. Should have gone for the goal when he had it anyway! Can't be TOO unselfish...

Yazz'z stutter, stutter, weave trick.

That happened in one play where Yazz trapped the ball from going out on the boundary, held the ball with two Tigers in front of him, faked a shot on goal, held back again and passed it to Gibbs. That was a gem too.

There will be plenty of "Play of the day" for Yazz to come I feel...

This boy is SERIOUSLY silky smooth...

Sorry,can't hear you...
could you say those positive things 'bout Hoops a little louder please?

Agree with the double Eddie move too....
and ..well....the first five goals were good.

Geez it's a goood day.

The guys a little in and out of the play at present, but man he's going to be a keeper.

Setanta goes for a contested mark outside 50. Ball goes to ground. Skirmish ensues. Setanta emerges and kicks a monster from 55.

The only time I got out of my seat for the night.

Definitely Hoops. Cool as a cucumber I thought one of the Tigers were going to tackle him but he just kept spinning until he was in the clear. Does anyone have any vision of this ????

Cheers, Tommy

the spinning was embarassing, wouldn't get away with that against a good team (did he run too far anyway?)

me too SB - i think i blew out my vocal cobwebs when he kicked that, in a sloppy game with some very good individual highlights, it was when that goal was scored i decided to name my first born setanta......

and i'm still suffering from a sore throat!! a very small price to pay to have footy back

my last one was rubbish

Given that Carlos missed the set shot for 35m just a few mins before hand, it was a great goal by the Irishman.

I reckon he ran too far as well. I like the Murph drawing the player, handball to Yazz too.....and the speech impediment, crochet move Mrs Caz talked about

Eddie marks deep in the pocket. Being still giddy with his own brilliance he waited. I was 100% certain he'd take a shot. In what was one of the best signs I took from the game, Eddie waited, waited and then popped it straight onto Setanta's chest 15m out.

A great sign for the Blues as a team going forward.

I liked Scotland weaving through traffic in the centre like he was covered in teflon in the 2nd quarter.

Setanta shepherding two Richmond players at once to give Eddie a shot at goal (hit the post).

A Richmond player standing still with the ball in the last quarter and everyone seemingly stopping to watch what he was going to do and Kreuzer just casually walking up from behind and grabbing him for HTB.

Carlos's monster goal.

And I know it's a sore point but Waitey's blind punch on the second Richmond player coming in to join the wrestle was pretty sweet timing

houlihan spins for mine though he probably did run a bit too far (although didnt have clean posession initially)

Amazing move(s) over 14.9 meters. Simply amazing.

The bloke has the footy on a string and dances like a whirlwind and passes like a magician; that's OUR Houla.

Only Mr Cloudy day would dismiss the brilliance of his evasive effort, and Mr Cloudy day is someone I'd steer right away from unless they were 1 meter away from a big right.

I believe that Setanta actually executed the failed chip, and it was to Kreuzer....I think eddie was involved further up the ground. Loved his goal though!
