If not for Kysiah Pickett trying to emulate his uncle the Dees would have almost no effective F50, the hits Kysiah keeps handing out put defenders on the back foot, and you'd expect he should get banned for yesterday, and one day it'll be a big one, that is if someone doesn't level up first!

Great article and thanks Mr Balboa for posting it... I was going to!!
The cockles of this little black duck's heart were warmed when Vossy declared to allow celebration in for a day or two. Ride the high. Takes me back to big error from a past coach who declared, 'don't get too high, don't get too low.' And to the chagrin and irritation of some I spoke out against this approach. Emotion is natural, and very powerful when channelled correctly... let that dopamine and those endorphins loose! Bravo Vossy and your off-field team.

I've had a wonderful 18 or so hours. Until I pressed the wrong button when conducting a review of some of the players and now my written report has been deleted.
:
Moving on, it's a thrill just to be in the third week of the finals, at long, long last. No matter how far we go, this is a wave I'm enjoying riding. Speaking of, it's expected to be a hot summer. I need to buy a bodyboard and get into it lol.
We have exceeded expectations, at least mine, for this year. It really is making up for the sadness of last year. Considering that most tipsters went for Melbourne, it's incredible we got through and are now into a preliminary. What about the crowd noise? Wow. What a bloody feeling this is. Can there be more? No pressure at all. Yeah.

Cheap and cowardly thuggery. FH. There was a bit of this attempted intimidation from some Go Dees players... we just absorbed it and kept our focus on our jobs and task at hand. Well done, fellas.

He stood up. Pickett had a dirty game all-round, save for some late time stuff. Come on Christian, put the hatred away and site him for that crap. You know what to do.
Cowardly stuff from Pickett, all he succeeded in doing was show the footy world the courage and strength of Crippa as a person; as a leader.
Many amazing moments where our blokes showed poise, discipline and heart in adversity. Just one critical example - Weitering's brilliant risk to shift play late in the game with a rocket to Hollands, then Hollands' smart kick to Doc and with his crook shoulder took the overhead mark and attacked the goal face. The rest is inspirational history. A great moment.

Deservedly so, there is enormous praise for Acres and his endeavour, playing through pain and delivering the goal that put us in front. Spine-tingling stuff.
However... I'd like to add 2 other incredible last qtr goals.
1. Walsh at the beginning of the final qtr goaling would have been an enormous lift for the boys and a message that we're in this to our eyeballs.
2. Motlop kicking a brilliant snap to reduce the margin to one kick... again, lifting the boys.
2 other great moments.

Spine-tingling stuff.Walsh is made for this stuff. No. 1 pick in his draft, looks like the best of them. Seemed a bit rusty at times this year, with his injuries, his absence was noted by me. Now back to his awesome best.

As I tried to note with Acres, this man belongs. All heart and effort, playing with a surging confidence. All at the price of a McDonald's ice cream of the past! Or near enough. With experience and a designated role for him, being the wing, there is much more consistency to his game now. You take the good with the bad. On the latter, no out of bounds on the full this time, but Blake, mate, as I tried to note, take a breath, don't rush the damn thing. Perhaps instinct works for him better than overthinking set shots.
Oh and Motlop. He's a creame de la creame player (excuse spelling, French is not may native language). Getting better all the time. Two beautiful goals, along with lots of chasing and tackling, despite the low stats. Will only get better with more experience and as he builds his body and tank more.

BT’s commentary, “… the kick wasn’t great to Docherty …”?!?
What? Ollie’s kick was freakin’ centimeter perfect. In fact, all 3 kicks in that play were brilliant.
Seriously, does he even watch the game or just glance up from scrolling through FB posts every now and then?
His disappointment when we win is palpable, which makes Andy and Sellers’ biased commentary beyond delicious.

One on cripps, the other on mcgovern. You can't swing an arm and hit an opponent high even if he is bumping you.
