I was looking forward to seeing this team without Cripps in the midfield.
Both captains out, and ladies and gentleman we have leadership to run the ship.
Weitering Walsh thoughout. Harry in the last.
The spirit of Serge through Jack. Felt it from my screen.
Walsh will be better than robert Harvey. May win 3 Brownlows.
Walsh just runs and runs and tackles and hits and doesnt stop, and runs faster than Harvey. My take.
Dow's first quarter showed what he can do. Needs another preseason to add to his newfound belief.
Heaps of improvement left in him.
Kennedy is lighter and hits harder. I like his intensity and desperation.
Tom DeKoning has a few more years of development to go, but by jesus this kid competes.
His 3rd quarter was huge against one of the best 3 rucks in the comp.
Jacks ruck work in the last, not to be ignored. Seriously smart ruckwork against the best in the AFL.
Saad is a machine. Great 4 quarter effort.
Williams intercept marking was seriously unbelievable, and a staple in our win.
Good to see Martin going hard, but HAS TO nail his easy set shots for the player he is suppose to be.
FMD, Stocker is hard as nails and how old is he again? 20yo. FMD look at those guns. Can kick a ball.
Betts can't retire. The only forward who goes hard at it 4 quarters, week in week out, and I know some game isn't rewqarded.
Betts has to go again next year. He's what we need in Finals.
Weitering undefeated as captain. Says it all.
The rest played a role tonight.
Like I said Owies has to nail shots at goal or else.
Charlie will cause chaos for opp defences with Harry and Jack.
Cripps can allow more minutes to younger brigade.
Gov will find it hard to get a spot in the first 22.
The F word is on the tip of my tongue.
North is next for 4 wins out of 5 games.
Blue Skies.
Best summary of my feelings about the game and players so far (working my way through the comments).
I reckon Jones was solid towards the end too, although you did give a shout out to everyone in general.
Totally agree about Eddie. He contributes so much even when he's struggling to get his hands on the pill, and he doesn't need much possession to be damaging.
Bit worried about our other Ed. Starting to look a little cooked across the season. Shouldn't be surprised, considering the work he puts in. Despite that, he motored on and played his part in the last. Wouldn't be surprised if he secretly racked up heaps of possessions while no one was looking, coz that's what he does.
And great to do it for Serge against the filth.
