As I always like to say, any win is a good win.

With the Gold Coast Suns having only beaten Collingwood the previous week, it was great to defeat them on their home ground. They are a very good football side, who are well coached under Guy McKenna.

We did waste a lot of opportunities earlier in the game, but fortunately we improved by the fourth quarter.

Heath Scotland was fantastic with 32 possessions. Expect to see a lot more of him between now and the end of the season. Ed Curnow was also impressive, playing well on Gary Ablett. While Ablett did manage 32 possessions, the majority of them didn't have a negative effect on us.

I was also very impressed by Charlie Dixon from the Suns, who had just returned from ankle surgery.

The Northern Blues also played well on Sunday, defeating Coburg by 58 points. Tom Bell, who played his first game since suffering a fractured jaw in round 15, was fantastic with 33 possessions. Other standout players included Dylan Buckley, Frazer Dale, Nick Graham and Aaron Joseph.

Looking ahead to this weekend's game against Fremantle, we know that it's going to be a challenge. They are a highly professional and disciplined side. This is an opportunity to see whether we really do deserve to be in the top eight.

The real test is in front of us.

If we make the finals - we will have deserved it ie every week is a final from here on in ( incl. the bulldogs)

True dat.

Charlie Dixon in navy blue would be a sight.

Other than Tom Hogan, there will not be to many quality key forwards on display in the AFL over the next 10 years who are not wearing either Gold Coast or GWS colours.

like the Scotland comments, good timing following Blue Sombreros call for him to be pretty much sacked

..have been a fan of Dixon ever since i saw him from the beginning.. ..can pinch-hit in the ruck, but is more KPP.. ..looks to be a very good CHF in the making, one that can also play well as a FF.. ..but he's also good as a CHB as well.... ..good talent, has re-signed with the suns and he's one of their better [if not best in my opinion] tall prospects.. ..highly doubt he's going anywhere..
