Just got back from the game and I can hardly speak my voice is so hoarse.

CONS:
- I got jittery every time Carrots got it. He turned over a couple of sitters and was caught out a number of times. I was relieved when he was on the bench.
- Foresight. Judd showed how it is done....pinpoint and to players who aren't 'hot'. Carrots especially needs to take note.
- Fev's brain fade turnover.
- Waite in defense. Again, like his game against the Saints, outclassed by opposition forwards.

PROS:
- I really liked Walks in defence where he was playing in the last quarter. He might not have got any touches, but by god he pasted whoever he was on.
- The Bulldogs didn't know who to cover in the forward line...wiggins...Fev...?? Kept them guessing which was great! Gave Fev opportunity for the 1 on 1 contest.
- More running goals...Judd, Murph, Eddie....gold.

Pros:

- JR was great over four quarters, great attack on the ball and apart from one dropped mark that resulted in a goal couldn't fault his role.
- Grigg is just a mongrel, i love it, hard and tough and clean and strong overhead, love him.
- Midfield was brilliant, as was Kreuzer.
- The defence was much better after the midfield started to help out.
- The Cheif. What more can you say the guy, was the best moment in years when he was chaired off part of the ground.
- Carrazzo started poorly again, but then had a great influence in the second half, much better.

Cons:

- Waite as the loose man.
- Disposal ranges from sensational to shocking.

*murph, gibblet, judd, simpson, kreuze, grigg, fev, stevo, wiggo, jamison.
*our midfield in the 2nd half was unstoppable, as was the forward line.
*i thought our defense did really well. The dogs have so many players that can kick goals and i thought we did a very good job considering.
*that arrogant prick akermanis had a shocker...captain of dream team :lol: sif

CONS:
*inaccurate kicking early on
*Fev reversal. absolute joke. barely touched lake! its a contact sport ffs. was a stupid thing to do but doesnt really matter...WE WON!!!

Having said that Carrazzo had a pretty good last quarter. Stood up in a few tackles and was neat with his disposal. Even pin pointing Murphy on his left with a 35 meter pass.

PRO:- I saw us win a centre hit out that was roved by us and then passed to a forward.

Con:- Our footpassing in the first half. We were moving the ball well through the middle but it only takes one bad kick to stuff it all up.

Pros:
Judd - class
Stevo - bounced back well in an unfamiliar role
Gibbs - going to be a star
Murph - best game for a few weeks
WIGGO - best game in his 100th, fitting for such a great servant of the club
Jamo, Grigg, Kreuzer etc.
My boy Austin looked pretty comfortable out there I thought
Running forward in waves in the second half - was fantastic
Cool heads under pressure, even in defensive 50

Cons:
Umpiring was ordinary both ways
Some disposal issues, usual suspects
Hate giving away goals on the siren

PROS

JR - believe mate, believe in yourself and you could become a very good player
Chief - fantastic, the player that kept us in the game in the first half
Judd - u sir, are a marvel
Smuprh - slow first half, second half was fantastic
Fev - very very solid, slow start, but fantastic second half
Stevens - after 2 poor weeks, very impressive game today
Kreuzer - outstanding. I would be happy for that type of return from a Ruckmen with 100 games experience. After 17 games is amazing!!

Our best is as good as anyones in the comps!

seriously, i could go on! It was a pretty impressive game.


CON

Our worst, is as bad as anyones in the comps

Our errors. Its our only real concern. We eliminate them and we will be a top 4 side.

Pros - awesome come from behind and never give up. That despite our bad play, we kept at it.

Cons - poor disposal in the first half.
Fev - you want the $, then stop acting like a jerk.
Umpiring - both ways. Plumbed new depths.

And finally

CONNEX!

After watching the boys walk off with Judd and Wiggins, i missed the 7.15 or so Craigieburn then got shunted to Flinders St to wait for the 8.10. Nice work, 2 trains in an hour to cover the football. Got home an hour and a half after the end of the game - to Kensington. Should have walked or driven.

cons: Brad Johnson bringing the game into disrepute by diving and lying on the ground like an Italian soccer player, while he already had posession.

Mr Johnson - you sir cost your team badly.











it was him wasn't it?

Yep its was Johnson, very ordinary staging!
Say what you like about Fev he's better in a quarter than any of the Dogs forwards in the whole game.
Eade showed no respect and he got what it deserved.
Judd, Gibbs, Murphy, Stevens, Grigga, even a bloke I don't think sheould've been still no the list playing game 100, I dips me lid, so much love in the town tonight!!!!
Southern Cross station nice roof but how about a bloody sign to say whaich platform trains leave from!! (that's on the odd time they leave)

I tell ya, the range of emotions experienced when watching our boys almost defies belief :lol:

Great, great win today. So rapt for the boys. Keeps our season well and truly alive... :wink:

Pro's
Beating a Top 4 side, comfortably...

Judd/Gibbs/Murphy/Stevens - all class

Wiggo!!!!!!! - Kept us in it, one of his greatest games no doubt. So happy for him.

Last qtr and a half - just sensational. If we can string that sort of football together over 4 qtrs (for the remaining games), we'll be tough to beat, no matter what the opposition. An eleven goal turnaround in a qtr and a bit...

Fev - our beloved enigma. What else can you say? I know he has his moments and is not perfect, but I know I LOVE having him as our key forward target. Quite simply, he is a match winner, a gun forward who is an absolute pleasure to watch when on song.

Con's

Not too many but always room for improvement

Should've been too consecutive wins over Top 4 opponents... :(

Our skills and decision making, at times, really let us down. We just don't get reward for effort on the scoreboard and we keep sides in it. Good sides will take advantage of that.

Forward entries and structure in the first half.

Couldn't be happier at the moment however I'm greedy, I want more lol. Let's give it a real shake, this year!!
