The charity wins are over for those pretenders.

I really don’t like them, tin arses get east goals cheating ahead of the ball, then smacked when we put a sweeper back and lifted our intensity.

Did happen a couple of times in Teague's Interim half a year and a couple again with Teague in 2020 but that's it.

Well, firstly I need to eat humble pie on Paddy Dow and Zac Fisher.

I still think they don't factor in our future (except perhaps for depth), but:

Dow stuck to the task and kept chugging away despite the foibles. Very happy for him with that goal - might be the highlight of his career, and well earned. Should be very proud of himself all things considered.

Fish didn't fade away as he did in the past. Got lots of the ball and used it pretty well all told. Knew what was required and did the job.

Obviously thrilled with the win. I turned the sound off at half time, convinced Ross would park the buss and we'd lose by 30+ . If we make finals and some things go our way with who and where we play, with this kind of momentum we could do some serious damage.

The sleeping giant's scratching his ass boys and girls. When the eyes open..... he will be @#$%&! HUNGRY.

PS: All of a sudden I have a craving for an espresso and little cake from that shop down on Acland street run by that mad St Kilda bloke

Oh and I hope they thank us for the 30k supporters to fill the stadium.

Charlie held all day not one free paid this week - umpires have a meeting about the frees against Moore last week?

Great win, was not a happy supporter at half time... very happy when the buzzer sounded

He was next man up

Everyone knows their role.

Why would you want to leave this joint? He played like his footy life depended on it. Great to see.

I kinda liked that Acres just smiled then Marshall did as well, as if Acres said, 'That macho shit ain't getting under my skin. I'll be laughing at the end.' Or am I revising history because we're the victors? Did I say we won?

Motlop has kicked 4,2,2,2 goals in his last 4 matches.
That is seriously impressive.

Even though we were on top, I wanted to finish it off and I was yelling at Acres to give it to the obviously better kick - I needn't have worried...a later angle showed Acres, I believe, drawing Charlie's opponent closer before dishing it off. Is our decision making getting better across the team?

Yep they are so predictable and pathetic.
And inconsistent.

Common sense shoukd tell them Charlie is being held.

But they're so @#$%&! stupid and pig heaed the umpires.

Talk on BF it may have been cramp hopefully

Great summary. I said at halftime to my other (who thought I'd given up - no, just filthy at our mistakes) that the coach was going to have to pull something out of the hat, coz we were looking shot. TDK's goal after the break was the best example of a rejuvenated attitude (and player). The Aints had very little in the tank by the end.

Hey, we didn't have to win 16 in a row in '95. We just did it because we could. Ah, those were the days...

Pros:

Against the odds. I'm with the coach. Best win for ages.
Can't see us missing the finals now.
Newman, Acres, Weiters, Fisher, Cripps, Hewett.
Excellent 2nd half from Docherty, Motlop, TDK, Dow, Hollands.
Classy, classy goal from Cuners at the start of the last quarter.
Martin's toughness.

Cons:

Missed targets going forward.
2nd quarter.
Pittonet, Marchbank, Fogarty.

Also….

how about Charlies kick from the wing to Owies
for a goal in the third…?

65 metre pass…mint…!


kindest regards tommi

Just watched the highlights, Charlie had two sensational 60 metre pinpoint passes into the forward 50, to Acres in the first quarter and Owies in the second half, plus his own goal. .

Was also great to see Charlie acknowledge his talismanic older brothers pass that triggered his only goal. How many times this year have we seen a Charlie goal result from one of Ed’s forward 50 entries?

Ah, footy is a funny old game.

About 8 weeks ago, couldn't see where our next win was coming from.
Now, have absolutely no idea where our next loss is coming from !

The train keeps rolling baby.

Exactly. Goodness I've missed this feeling.....

He is making his mark. Damn he has some talent.
