I guess we enjoy the win but not get too carried away. We did manage to bully the Bummers in a way that won't be possible v most other teams. Good morale booster nevertheless.

Bombers are not the old Sheedy bombers anymore...not much fight or spite.......Goddard didnt bother to fight back vs Lamb at all, he is over it and I expect a media career at the end of season for him.
We won the game but still have plenty of problems, a lot of our players looked good vs feeble opposition IMO.....you look at BomberBlitz and the common theme was weak hearted effort from the EFC....
We don't win very often so they'll be no perspective happening...lol.

Agree to a point but out team has lots of development in front of them.
I can’t see their mids getting tougher but Dow, a fit and in form Kennedy, Pickett and one or two more at this years draft and trade period and we could have some serious mids.
SPS still worries me.
Concerned about an article saying we are looking at extending Murphy’s contract for another 2 years.
Lang, OBrien, Williamson and Docherty could all help add strength, speed and kicking skills over the next few years.
We definitely need to replace a few playing yesterday but we probably have 6-7 best 20 players out atm.

Surprised Daisy is not getting more love. I thought he was outstanding, as he has been most of this year. His kicking has improved out of sight so I guess that ankle has finally come good. Playing like a leader.

Rob Walls has been a critic of Woosha for ages. And John Elliott, in early 2015 when there was much talk regarding Mick's tenure, endorsed Woosh as an excellent replacement.
Crazy times............

Reminds me too much of Chris Yarran - tons of skill and talent but lack of intensity and willingness to impose himself on the game. Yaz would apply himself periodically (presumably after a blast from coaches) but would soon relapse into his less intense habits. Hopefully SPS will mature; Yaz never did.
Lamb ruined Goddards day... >And he did it in one quarter before actually playing football and having a positive impact - if only he would play like that more often - Goddard played on the wing after 1/4 time; got a bit of it in the 2nd qtr against LOB but was shut down by Kerridge in the 2nd half.
We need more from Plowman, seems to be in a rut. I could do with him taking fewer kick ins. Even with the occasional clangers, Simmo is much better - wish we still had Tuohy though.
Best game I have seen from Wright when not playing in the forward pocket.
Great to see Graham get more than a single game rather than rotating back to the VFL after each game - now he should get at least one more - limited but willing worker.
Garlett needs to do more.
Big H seemed to contribute more as a back up ruckman that Levi usually does.
Special mention for the MC and coaches - good match ups and team balance - playing 7 defenders right from the opening bounce also worked perfectly

Post 29. Just for you JC
I thought our backline worked as well as I've seen. Daisy probably added the necessary experience and leadership. He's having a great patch that's for sure. I was critical of Daisy last year, but he's a different player this year. So I tilt my hat.

Loved Bolts post match response to celebrations.
He'll go shake hands with all the coaches.

As my daughter likes to say, a real fun sponge.
I do like his post match pressers more as time goes on. He's a very good public face for the club, partly for the reason that he's so hard to dislike.
