Another grinding win.

Not pretty, but got the 4 points.

Our attitude was clearly affected by the team we were playing....we knew we'd win and played shitty footy for most of the game It's pleasing that we won comfortably.

we did what we needed to do to win. A 47 pt win in those conditions was not a bad effort. Take the 4pts and bank it.

Shit game to watch but can't be too annoyed with an 8 goal win really. I thought we looked like we never really got out of second gear.

Not long home from the game. Pretty terrible to watch but happy with the 4 points and a bit of a percentage boost.
Was rapt to get home in time to see Murphy's interview :thumbsup: .
Downer were to two injuries, shame about Laidler as he is having a good year.
Will take a 47 point win any day.

Odd game from Carrazzo. Been excellent the past few weeks. Lots of times ran past and delivered poorly inside 50 and even didn't go hard enough at a few contests, then with the game over (about 3 minutes left) put his body on the line and got smashed by Bate.

No complaints, people I hear on the radio saying we should of thumped them, which I find a bit odd in hindsight. When they point to how undermanned Melbourne are, when they obviously knew this before the game begun, but still didn't think we wouldn't win by 80-100 points.

Losing 2 players didn't help, and obviously the overall intensity of the match was a letdown compared to last week, but we now have a consistency of effort that hasnt been there since 2001. The gap between our best and worst has narrowed a lot, and even us going half pace is enough to put away ordinary sides, because the way we go about it and structures are really good. :thumbsup:

Solid gameplan that holds up even when dont execute the basics well.

Good signs for the next couple of weeks.

Shocking game but we won by 47 to claim a spot in the top 4.

Funniest thing ive seen for a while was Setanta handing a fan an empty Powerade bottle as a souvenir in the players race after the game :lol:

Who the hell were those lunatics in M36? One of them was Alan from the hangover

That fan is a scientist who will use the DNA left on the lip of the bottle to create a SuperIrishman.

4 points is 4 points. Great game from Murph, 3 goals for Setanta, Jeffy is a star.

For those who didn't see it the first time, or second time for that matter.

I've never been a huge Carrots fan, but i reckon his last 12 months have been very good.

But FMD did he hit one target tonight.
