Tag Neale, amazing what’s happens.

Casboult was pretty good as well.

That part they were probably trying to be creative and didn't know how.

Beauty about having the 3 talls is the likes of Harris Andrews can only play on and towel one of them up. Altough if Harry kicked straight it would've looked better on top of his 6 marks.

Who would've thought a few years ago that Jones and Levi would've been 2 of our prime backmen...lol.

all this.

Weitering was geat all day
Gibbons is a good footballer
Smart player
Curnow both very good

Still some ordinary players
Cripps can’t play like that every week

They need to back it up

What a game by Gibbons.

Disposal out of the backline is still a major concern. Plowman numerous turnovers, Simpson not much better, Newman a couple. Casboult we expect them.

They’ve been sitting on Cripps for the past month - today he just had enough of it.

Umpires made the statement early on by giving him frees. About time

Setters needs to work on his goalkicking. But he's got a lot of tools to work with. Reckon he'll be a gun.

I have never seen such a dominating game from a player and a captain (maybe I'm forgetting the Kouta era ), but Cripps was just on another level today, literally willed and dragged the team to victory and really set the standard. I have been a little internally critical of him this year, sometimes I think he is a bit too cute and not damaging enough with his possessions, but today he was superhuman.

He should really get all six available Brownlow votes, as it was Cripps ... then a huge amount of daylight ... to a very good game by Walsh, then take your pick from a number of others.

Hard to see any real passengers today, better games by many who have struggled previously. it was a bit like they were trying to figure out how to play the new game plan in the first quarter, but once it reasonably clicked into place, it was really a one horse race after early in the second quarter.

Go Blues!

It was really noticeable. I wonder if someone had a quiet word during the week.

He needs to kick a better torp...haha.

A 1-10 team
Just sacked the coach
Down 40-3 against a team about to jump into the top 4

Sometimes it’s fun, even to say to yourself, that was fun. Otherwise what’s the point?

(And there nothing incorrect about what you said, but it’s fun to enjoy winning just a little and show it)

Three players to have hardly had a mention

Jack Silvagni - his efforts today were amazing - first second third and more when in a contest lead they way early.

Paddy Dow - this kid might have flaws but he knows where the footy is and has not trouble winning it.

Gibbo - this bloke may not have a long career but he is making the most of the chances afforded to him.


Special mentions to Fish and the whipping boy obrien.

Absolutely.
His quick clean hands in close are valuable. A full pre-season will do him wonders.

More than anything it was our skills letting us down early. Really should of had 3 or 4 goals on the board in the first 15-20 mins.

Bit too reckless trying to go fast too.

I’m still concerned with our disposal coming out of the back half. Too many that turn it over or miss easy targets.

Don’t want to talk negatives. Let’s enjoy this.

Yes, that was a shocker. Just saw the replay, the siren sounded as he just started his run in, big smile on the face, then he changed his grip on the ball to line up for a torp after the siren ... and it spiralled way off left OBOTF. Kept his perfect goal kicking stat intact at 4.0
