The Aints were weak as piss, almost their whole team was disposing at less than 50% in the first half.

That my friends is the definition of folding under pressure, a massive choke!

Terrific win, but....
Shat themselves in selections????

We had no talls to choose from. What did you expect to happen?

Nobody in the media has cited the fact we went in without any recognised key forwards last week.....but thats because nobody actually looks at our games....or our injury list.

You, and us, should know better though.

Should win against the Gold Coast in Melbourne. Reckon Mirkov might be getting a run next week now his knee has recovered.

Solid performance. Our best for the year.  Beat a decent outfit who we generally struggle against while losing our only ruckman for majority of the match. Really impressive win imo because of the contribution from some of the lesser lights in Dow, Honey, Williamson, Jack and can’t believe I’m saying this but even LOB.
Jack in another typical all heart performance - smart player who gives everything everytime, does the job week in and week out. Very underrated imo.
Walsh is surely AA - will finish top 3 in Brownlow.

About to sit back and have a rum. One happy blue boy.

 Or McGovern, I believe he is playing VFL tomorrow.

Hindsight would've played Jones forward last week then focussed on locking up the backline, similar to the way we played against Geelong. Was always going to be difficult with the side we had, just that 3rd qtr.

That's the first game this year I felt confident we'd win.

There were so many very good passages of play. Goalkicking finally decent. Solid contribution from most. Feel good Charlie had a perfect return, which the boys seemed to thrive on. We took our foot off after the game was won but didn't lose confidence when Saints had a run on.

Most impressive though:
Our pressure all over the ground
Sticking tackles
Teamwork- the WE
Toughness against the odds of injury (?umps) and coming of a poor performance
Oh. We're sweeter with Honey ?
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.
Henry Ford.

I don't think his knee has recovered has it?

He's only played a handful of aussie rules games. No chance next week.

Gov will ruck before him.

rubbish. Brackets had been in full training for a month ++.

Charlie could have played.

Need I say more?

Finals, then 4 in a row!
