I thought that was a very good win away against a dangerous team.

Good team win ! :thumbsup:

Robbo is really not all there.

Mixed game, physicality is fantastic.

Decision making terrible.

Thought Robinson's positives outweighed his negatives today, however often it's the other way around.

Kreuzer dominant in the ruck, as you'd expected against a weakened division.

Curnow good on Ablett - he didn't really chop us up.

Very poor in terms of marking inside 50 - need to prioritise a key forward with our first pick at the draft.

Really don't have the quality of tall forwards required.

It has and will prevent this team from going all the way.

Jamison not bad one on one but once again very poor decision making, very poor awareness.

A 43 point win when so many 'experienced ' men of the game picked us to lose is massive.

The fact it should have been more with greater accuracy in front of goal is an added silent victory for mind.

This is an away win against a side that beat collingwood last week.

Up the mighties!

Did what we had to do.
Nothing too spectacular.
Same deficiencies still apparent.
We'll struggle against Freo next week if we play the same as we did today.

Yeah, we generally scrap out our goals with not much structure about of forward play

Always happy to win. Well done boys.

Have to take the lessons out of the game though. Had so many scoring shots and yet the game wasn't really iced until late. Have to take our opportunities and convert on the scoreboard.

Could of been a much more comfortable victory.

A wins a win though. Lets bank it and move on to next week.

It was a workmanlike win and nothing more. hey are a young side who are on the cusp of finals but not this year. We were profligate in front of goal and Judd's miss from 20 out started the rot.
Jeffy 1-4.
Hendo 4-3 which might well have been 5-2 for his first haul of five. He got quite a lot of possies on the wing. How the hell is he going to be dangerous up there? He often had to kick to a small forward on the lead. He is the one who should stay behind.

Murphy got 27 possies but wasn't hurting the opposition with them. He is not the player he was a couple of seasons ago.
Gibbs is wasted in the back pocket, where he was dragged to. That last goal of Browns was embarrassing for him and he was blushing like crazy afterwards. He needs to be further up the ground.

It's good to get the points but that win was nothing to write home about.

Happy with the 4 points. Reckon if they put a swear jar in the coaches box, the debt will be paid off by this time next year.

Good result at the siren, can't complain, good to win that one

Yes, we made some poor decisions, kicking for goal wasn't great (there were quite a few touched behinds btw), marking inside 50 wasn't great apart from Lachie.

Reasonable spread of goal kickers

Kreuzer great, Lachie, Simmo, Curnow did a good job on Gazza, Zac was solid, Juddie ok although some poor kicking early, Brock did a couple of good things, Gibbs ok on balance

Jeffie would be disappointed he didnt kick more goals instead of behinds. Hendo lots of possies, but goes backwards as his first option too often

Didn't see the second half but thought we should have been 5 goals up at half time.

By the sound of it we were even more dominant in the second.


Just saw Robbo's hit on Ablett, he should be selected for the rest of the year just for that alone.

Let's hope he gets to do something similar to Hodge one day.

Didn't see the game, listened on radio, but 18 more scoring shots sounded more reflective of the game than 43 points.

Outside of second half of 1st quarter we smashed them in general play

Team missing their CHF (Lynch), FB (Thompson), ruck (Smith), lost another ruck early (NIcholls), Prestia (top 5 in the B&F atm), Swallow

Should have won by 9-12 goals but lack of quality key forward and poor conversion hurt us.
