[DJC]

Winning must be making us all warm and fuzzy only 4 pages of comments!
If we lost there would be 14 on who’s fault it was and who to lynch ?

Yes and some of those who have posted have found negatives  :

A win over last year's runners up with the coach absent, assistants responsible for lines they've never coached, preparation disrupted by COVID protocols, the loss of two of the better players from the last game, losing a key defender, and coping with some mystifying umpiring decisions should be celebrated joyously - while still keeping a lid on it of course  ;D

It's irrelevant that the Bulldogs came back at us; that was inevitable.  The huge positive was that we kept our composure and still won comfortably.

How good was Sam Walsh after virtually no pre-season?  It will be interesting to see how Vossy uses our 5 A-grade mids next week.

George Hewett did a number on the Bont and still racked up possessions; a great addition to the team.

The "how can I be a better teammate" mantra really seems to have changed the way we are going about our footy and there is so much to like about individual players and the way they are working together.  My favourite moment was a fail; Lochy O'Brien went back with the flight and almost made a miraculous spoil on the goal line.  The fact that it was a goal doesn't matter, his effort in getting to the goal line and attempting the spoil was "being a better teammate".  It typified our efforts all over the ground for four quarters.

I got a message from one of my sisters after the game; "We're back!"  I responded with "Where have you been?"  Then I realised that she meant our beloved Navy Blues ... and I reckon she's right
