Cripps 194 supercoach

Did Gerald really say that? Sometimes he says stuff that makes me want plant one on that crooked beak of his....the scorn he has for the Blues is palpable >

They were all saying that up until 1/2-time.

You really want to worry about the commentators who changed tune only 10mins into the 3rd, because their two-faced position is exposed! At least Whateley always hates us!

On Fox we were described as playing our worst ugliest game of the year just moments prior to 1/2-time, and then at the 15min mark of the 3rd-Qtr the very same commentator shouted out that we are playing our best game for the year as the new entertainers of the AFL!

Cripps 194 supercoach

He needs to learn to kick a torp so he could've got it to 200...lol.

What a relief.

What a great win,  dumbfounding Teaugy has help return passion, enjoyment  in playing footy. Cripps smile just infectious, the youngsters were playing out of their skins Sam  Wash amazing haven’t seen so much joy and embracing this year.
Let’s see if they can follow up.

What a relief.
Cripps willed us over the line but his performance overshadowed some very good ones by other players, even though his was a standout game it was a great team effort overall.
It looks like we made the right call on Bolton, the way we were playing we wouldn't have come from so far back if he was still pulling the reins.
O'Brien might not be a draft bust after all, and given a bit of freedom by Teague Gibbons looked at home at AFL level and could become a long term player.
There's still a long way to go but it's a good start by the new coach.

The Presser.

The tagging question is a contentious one. Listen to Fagan's post match presser. He said that once we got ahead, they sent a tagger to Cripps, but as he said "it's not helping us, we better just hunt ourselves." Coaches are certainly reluctant to do it, some more than others.

Fagan is completely full of s#it.... in the extreme.

Cripps had the hardest of hard tags for the whole match. Mostly by Berry but they mixed it up. Especially at centre bounces he was being tackled while the rucks were contesting the hitout. He was just determination personified and wouldn't let the tag stop him. 10 blokes tagging him at once wouldn't have stopped him today.

That was one of the best individual matches in the history of football.

There is a definite advantage in winning the toss on a sunny day at Marvel.  Kick to the ‘left of screen’  first up (as we did) and you only look into the sun for one quarter....the second. It has completely moved on by the time the last quarter. It is a pain in the ar$e looking into it for 2 quarters.

Sitting @ home trying to watch the 1st Q on my iPad was my worst ever football experience, truly horrible as the ball moved from full shade to full sun, bordering unwatchable.

I was lucky enough to be in a corporate box today.  The sun was causing weird reflections off the glass making a whole side of the ground difficult to see.  I was in the box directly next to Eddie and johnno brown. 

We all commented about the sun making things difficult to see.

Broadcasters had some stuff taped to the glass.
