Awesome effort Sam Walsh, really happy that we have a genuine A grader here.
Newman was quite good, loved that Setterfield got through unscathed and was quite solid.
Jack Silvagni looked good as an inside mid at times, Cripps was Cripps, and Fisher cruised about the place. SPS was the surprise, really took charge at times and I think he copped a knock and kept pushing himself through - great signs there. Paddy Dow tried hard and is still building his tank, Lachie O'Brien got involved in that last term, and I thought Gibbons was everywhere in the first couple of quarters.
Great effort, obviously just a hit out, but good signs there.

We were pretty much full strength minus kreuzer.
Can’t see Cripps starting on the wing at the centre bounce during the season proper.

Unbelievable how many are making 'excuses' for the drug cheats.
For mine, the final margin flattered them greatly, irrespective of who they had on the park?
Clarke or Bellchambers - who cares, both average....

Give it up Thry; making excuses for Essenscum doesn’t really cut the mustard. We managed our players no more or no less than the Bombers and we had first 22 players out.
Rejoice in the win

O'Brien played in the VFL against Port and was pretty good for 3 quarters. He ran out of gas in the last and so did all of his team mates.

Sam Walsh is a gun and already looks looks surpassing all our No 1 picks in terms of impact, he already seems a big part of the midfield unit and next to Cripps going to be our most important midfield player. Liked Zac Fishers game tonight and I thought Setterfield did a few things that went unnoticed and he will be a capable assistant to Cripps as a tall midfielder who is designed for doing some heavy work.
I thought Nic Newman stood out though for poise and some second efforts down back....bargain based recruit who has come along at the right time with Docherty out and both Simpson and Thomas nearing the end....
Gibbons proved that VFL players are more than just surburban hacks and he has probably done enough to play round 1.........
Ok its only a JLT game but I'll take a win in any form and beating Essendon after being challenged makes it even better....plenty to get excited about IMO and while we traditionally play well vs the Bombers no matter where the two teams are on the ladder I thought we played a good brand of football tonight and didnt have many passengers.
Lets hope that form can continue vs Collingwood and into Round 1....
