He showed some really good signs, can actually get off the ground unlike Kreuzer. I think he'll be a keeper.

2 rucks crucial to the win.

Well done MC for sticking to your guns.

...oh and Casboult needs to be banned from entering our forward 50 while he's in the team

How was Kreuzer crucial to the win ?

The tackle and spoil that allowed sumner to kick the goal?

The big guys smashed the Bombers talls. Phillips in the votes for mine, great game and some great tackles to go with his marking.

Thomas, Gibbs, Simmo were very important, Murphy a little down but stepped up in the last too.

Lamb going well, good role player.

Whoever said we were up against a crap Bombers defence, they are still better than our forward line at present.

Number 39 actually looked like Daisy Thomas

Loved Byrnes game and courage.

Krooz best game of the year.

Not terrific but solid. Actually took some contested marks today.

yep. courage comes in many ways and Casey's got them all covered

More like battling your mate to pick up Julia Morris at a Logies after party. Yeah you won, but really, your prize is taking home Julia Morris. Still, when you are in a dry spell you take what you can.

Casboult should be banned from playing. He is bush league material if that. Embarrassing ...

Felt like I'd run a bloody marathon when the siren went

Another point, great work to deny Essendon* the ball, and more importantly time in possession, which they have been racking up no matter their results. Today they were 40 down on their average disposal count, and were only in possession for 35% of the match (we smashed it with 47%).


These points are great to see.

Of particular note to the opportunities, we had I think we had something like 7 shots inside 50 that went OOB or didn't make the distance. We also had a few behinds that could have been fed out to others in better positions, notably one from Jones and one from Graham, so there's definitely stuff to work on.


But Graham's slower than... than a... than a pile of treacle that's been set in concrete. Wakka wakka wakka

Graham is a footballer but not enough pace and intensity to be important long term.
Kreuzer is a lug. He is overrated. Can't mark can't kick can't handball. Not a long term prospect.
He is so slow.

Now if they're the best we've got at this stage then we will continue to play them.

Casboult can't help us long term with marking only. He should not be having shots at goal if playing.

Philips is ahead of Kreuzer. Kreuzer is not the ruck rover I thought he was. I believed in you jimmae all those years ago and right up to this weekend. They're your mates above mentioned.

White was important today. He's also best we've got and better than jimmae suggests.

I'm really pissed off with the skill level ...perhaps the game plan I'd designed to fatigue the opposition as well as ourselves coz our skills are very very ordinary. Not AFL standard....but I saw that all over the ground and last week as well.

When we run the ball we look good...only remember doing that for 10 mins early in the last...and it worked...then we dropped off.

Bolton will take us to the promised land...he cares about success and reacts to crap of 2016.

Its Kreuzer you're comparing him to so you have to be careful.

Kreuzer is a work horse; not class.
