Watching highlights you'd think they pumped us.

As each highlight comes up our score increments by 2 goals

Like I said in the Walsh thread - the boy can play. Future Captain. Future Brownlow(s). Hopefully a few Norm Smiths too
Setterfield was good and will only get better. Good pickup.
SPS stronger, stood up in a few tackles and was productive.
Cunningham skillful and creative but I think lacks pace over the first 5 yards
Gibbons busy... needs time.

Forward line still needs to gel and midfielders will improve the connection.

Backline needs more runners. We'll really miss Doc.

We need Kreuzer fit in the middle.

Teams will need two bona fide rucks in their team - with the new rule, if one goes down, you can get scored against very very quickly.

Didn't realise Essendon** would miss Hooker, Bellchambers and Dank so badly...

A fair bit of nous and class from gibbons for that 2nd goal. Always looked to be a goal with a shimmy. Others would have panicked with the ball ending up out on the full.

A win is a win.

Our pressure for first 3 quarters was relentless
Moving the ball 45 degrees forward or across at worse instead of going back works
The connection by hand and foot was very good
Scored over 100 points with new game plan.

Not sure if we ran out of gas or Philips going out of the ruck had a huge impact.
Umpires had a little to do with Druggies momentum i the last.
We were able to control the last 5 minutes and take back the ascendancy.

Walsh > Shiel. Can bank we won that deal.
Walsh not only amazing for a 1st year player, he was just amazing massing numbers and linking. Strong.

Philips is a good tap ruck man. Hope he stays fit. His mobility and marking around the ground were a bonus.

Cripps Fisher look like AA players. Do what they like
SPS has arrived. Time stands still when he has the ball.
Dow has goo speed, and looks to have recovered from minor surgery. His touch will improve.

Setterfield is the real deal and will only get better. He's the one I was hoping would stand up and he did.
Setters and Crippa in the middle with Fisher, Dow by their side are the future.
Setters will release Crippa forward and that means goals.

Weiters has stepped up.
3 talls in the backline stood up.
Newman is a great aquisition.
Really like Garletts run out of the back half.
Simmo, Newman and Garlett running ball get us going from defence.

3 Talls forward didn't do the damage we expected because they didn't play a full game together.
Talls were dangerous and Harry should have received more frees.
Small forwards Gibbons, Cuningham, Murphy are dangerous: 6 goals from crumbers.

Jack Silvagni belongs. Would have been great for him to start off with a goal because its usually a weapon.
He's strong, applies great pressure, footy IQ, tackles and is versatile.

Loved seeing what Cuningham and Jack do in the midfield.

We have plenty of mids to rotate through the guts and creat head aches for opposition when they go forward.

I guess we will see Kreuzer, Fasolo and OBrien added next game to put more pressure on positions.

Glad Stocker and TDK looked good in the VFL too. SOS has recruited really well.

Go Bluebaggers. I love youse all...

...and Bluegirl and AGRO, loved reading your commentary.

Anyone know why O'Brien didn't make an appearance last night?
