“We’ve been in every game, we now expect to win every game and know our best is good enough to mix it with anyone in the competition.”

I think they are right, provided we don’t give opposition teams a start, sort out our kicks inside 50 and improve our goal kicking accuracy.

It was a good win but it would have been a travesty if we had lost.  It goes a little way towards making up for the last two losses.

Plowman was outstanding but it was our defensive pressure all over the ground that enabled him to play as he did.  Good signs indeed  Smile
Was Plowman good or Papley terrible? Been following Papley's games and form (he was in my Fantasy Footy Team) and he has been putrid the last 5 or so weeks.

His stats aren't dramatically different from his Adelaide time...he's down a bit on averages (especially this year)
At 191cm he's a player that 'plays tall' for that height. He has a good leap.
The surprising thing for me was that he's only played the 74 games.

Everyones averages should be down this year due to the reduced playing times.

Papley looked threatening but Plowman’s positioning meant that Papley wasn’t able to use his pace.  More importantly, Plowman backed himself, took some good marks and provided run out of defence.

If you have a look at the huddle at the end of three quarter time you can see that Gov wants to be somewhere else, like a hole in the ground which is where he kept looking. He's got some mental demons.

 I thought you had a higher opinion of Weiters, but I do recall you bagging him quite a bit! :o

Weitering is a specialist backman so he doesn't qualify under the mugs criteria.
I did have my doubts on him recovering his mojo after that bad injury and said so but he has been super impressive and any doubts I had are long gone.
McGovern qualifies as a mug given he is a forward, hopeless at the minute and others want to make him a reborn  backman.

No idea the $$ terms of his contract, but what a fine player he is.
