I think Hollands running would’ve been handy last night too.

No idea where that table comes from but Newman as our second best, Owies way better than Martin/acres and Marchbank WOG (huh? what? ) doesn't pass the pub test. Gulden BOG in a losing team I agree with, that little pest is a gun.

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

Great stats

I am a Cincotta fan but recently he has had little influence.
Marchbank was very poor and a weak link
Fogarty has been average since coming back in

Some serious questions to discuss for Voss & Co this week

Watched the replay. We played better than I felt we did at the ground, maybe because being there I was so stressed

Marchbank & Hewett were both really good, better than I'd noticed. I don't really get the knocks on Marchbank's game on here.

We need to make 2 forced changes so that might be all we do, but if I was going unforced I would consider Cunningham. Maybe he could make way for Hollands & do a bit of a reshuffle. And there's maybe Boyd for Cincotta who has been a bit quiet of late.



As usual, great presser by vossy too

I finally finished watching the game this morning.
Like you, I was too nervous and stressed on Friday night to appreciate what a good game it was.
Hewett gets lots of handballs in packs so doesn't stand out as much.
Still on a bit of high from Friday and now have to worry about getting tickets for this week.

The best piece of play all night is not something I've seen highlighted on TV yet but it was Cotterell's second goal, the floater of a snap.

He ran - sprinted - 150m from the back half to get forward, impacted a 2 v 1, got the ball and goaled. It was incredible and I watched him take off to get forward.

That guy was immense on Friday.

Well done to our list mgmt team. We identified wingers as being our key weakness. We have backed Cotterell, brought in acres, and nailed the Hollands pick for the future. This side has run, but it's tough run.

That passage of play for me was when I really believed last year burned everyone, and we were not going to fall over.

agreed

we have some how gone from our wings being one of our weakness, to it now beign one of our strengths. i wasnt sold on acres, but acres and cotters have been immense. Hollands / Docherty can be added to that as well and its gone from being a weakness to a genuine strength of ours!!

I could not agree more!!!

How many times (easily 7-10) did we just bomb it long to the HF/FP area, only to be outmarked ny McLean, McCartin and Hickey

It was like going back in time. Rarely looked for the swiitch (or created the opportunities to do so, rarely lowered eyes, rarely positioned or put slight block for a 30m pass I50

We live to fight another day but boy some old habits crept in

MV has so many areas he can discuss this week. Let's hope we've blown off the cobwebs

This is why I would consider bringing Fisher back. We need someone who is willing to be bold off half back, take some risks, and try to create rather than just take the safe option down the line. Fisher was excellent at this since coming back into the team. In 4 games he averaged 27 touches at close to 80%

I think our kicking long down the line to a contest was a very deliberate strategy to limit Sydney's turnover and running game and to take advantage of their terrible contested possession game.

I think we will see a bit of a change in the Melbourne game to suit our best opportunity to beat the Dees.

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Sorry I'm late. Go Blues! And all that.

Expected us to be a little sloppy, as were the Swans at times. The main thing was to get out of the blocks quickly and it paid off handsomely - we were never headed.

I was more confident of hanging on at the end than in our Dees game. This one didn't feel as brutal and they didn't have a Petracca. I didn't fancy us so much if extra time was forced but thought we had it covered. Their last goal involved a fair bit of luck. Weitering should've punched the clappers out of it but he, of any defender, is usually reliable in his grabs - didn't quite judge it. And the spilt ball running through Martin's legs - pure bad luck, blink and you miss it...and he did.

My initial call for BBOG was Walsh - brilliant return to form - but Acres gets over the line where the ball didn't - twice - in emphatically claiming the Hand of Marchbank Award, and in running himself ragged to make the line first for the sealer. Sorry for doubting you during our slump, Hectares. You haven't quite rid yourself of a tendency to spray it on the full but a pretty decent chunk, especially the back-end, of your season has been speccie. Special mentions to Martin, Cotters and Cerra for their efforts. Jeez, Cotts, great bullocking snap but we were almost into Saturday by the time it went through, thank Judd.

Yes, Harry stuffed up biblically - twice - but his game was otherwise solid and crucial to our early lead. Everyone played their part in one way or another. Did someone say Marchbank? Blinkers off, haters. He's not always the cleanest handler but he was a calming influence in more situations than others on here are giving him credit for. Pitto positioned himself well at times around the ground, not just in the ruck, and seems to be working on being more than a statue. I'd like him to hold onto some more of those marks under pressure though. Motlop got caught in the headlights at least once when options were on but his pressure was okay when the Swans were looking for the game breaker. The team will be better for the run.

Some outs for us could make the difference next week but maybe not as much as once expected. We're building and the once (almost) impossible is still possible.

We've already exorcised some demons this year so let's bring experience to the table this week.
