2 in a row... Blues Blow past the Gold Coast

[shadesy]

Shackles released, kids superb, defence strong.

So who are the Barker believers? I wasn't but I'm waivering...

[Juddkreuzer]

Woof Woof!! ;D

[hanwell]

Wasn't either, but am firming like a Japanese stayer in a Cup market

The reaction to Barker will be interesting the first time we get a thumping.  Still, at the moment they are playing consistent, tough, in your face footy. 

They should have won by 10 goals - if they'd kicked straight, but I'll take it.

And PLEASE PLAY HOLLMAN!!!  Also, Nick Graham - another great match.

Cripps was heavily tagged but still stood up when needed.

Thought a few of our boys were quite average today and we still won easily and should've won by more. Looking forward to the Doggies next week and then three tough games in a row where we can really test ourselves, should we also defeat the Dogs.

Apparently the motto within the player coaching group is "maintain the rage"  ;D

I was pretty convinced the shine had worn off bell, congratulations on a fine season so far!

Carrazzo - thought he was close to BOG. Great clearance work again.

Bell - Yes he was great in some parts, his ability to walk through tackles is growing but his kicking is just awful. Still has work to do.

Yarran - No point having brilliant speed and disposal if you're not willing to take a risk. Too many dinky kicks. A player of his ilk needs to take a few more risky passes on. Played it too safe.

Hendo - Pretty disappointed with his game, did better in the second half. I reckon he's gone.

Graham - 24 touches today, coming along very nicely.

Everitt - Pretty damn handy game. Still a little powder puffy at some contests but should have kicked at least 4.

Wood - Another close to BOG. Great game in the ruck. Had a fantastic year.

Tackling intensity not as good as in previous weeks but we ground out the win.

Loved the fact that Cripps copped a heavy tag (and a cheap shot to the guts) yet still racked up enough possies to make a contribution and was busting out of the scrimmages until the end.

Love the way Nick Graham is growing and really feeling at home out there. Adds some real polish.

Love the Kreuze/Wood combo in the ruck. Both blokes are prepared to roll up their sleeves and work hard all match.

Love Everitt as a forward.

Love Tommy Bell becoming a modern day cult hero.

Love Barker giving a kid like Holman a run and not killing his confidence by him by playing on someone like Pendlebury.

Buckley 100% disposal efficiency. Kicked an exciting goal ball traveled all of 60m and he did it with ease. Going to be a star for us.
