Amazing how when a side is switched on how suddenly ball movement and use suddenly improves out of sight.

Please can we just stop with the booing already. Making fools out of ourselves is not what we want. Booing the big fella is akin to booing yourself.

On level 2 didn’t hear any booing for casboult, and hope it was a small minority. Fckwits.
Great send off for the boys by supporters on level 2 today at half time ?? bloody awesome!
Great amazing result, so pleased for the boys, just wish Walsh hadve kicked a goal!
I think this result shows something clearly - when under intense sustained in close pressure, we cannot withstand it. GC did not do this and we are a good side against that play. It’s the intense pressure of Collingwoods or Melbourne’s, we can’t deal with. Fix that or learn to withstand it, and we’ll be good to go!!!
Go Baggers, bloody great game to watch live today ??

We finally played like a committed team.
Lets hope the penny has dropped for this mob.
Dow has been impressive for the time he has come on.

Boyd gets a bit of a bad wrap sometimes.
I like the boy.
He's only played the 12 games, so we probably shouldn't be too quick to judge.
He's not the most gifted but he gives effort, and has a booming, penetrating kick.
Yep ,he makes the occasional blue but usually he's in the more efficient of our disposers.
His efficiency is usually up around the 80%...it was again today.
Not sure why he found himself matched up against giants on a couple of occasions, but he didn't shirk the contest.
I reckon he also has a bit of 'dick' factor about him.
At least twice today a Sun's player wanted to give him a whack.
We need a few dicks.

It does marvellous things for my mental health when we win, especially a game like that where it threatened to get away from us. But the thing that pleased me the most was that we appeared to finally learn something from our previous mistakes:
[1] We tackled like we meant it. 69 tackles this week, compared to 33 last week. Not only that, but we really tackled well. Doc had a couple of absolute beauties, as did H.
[2] We seemed to have picked up in the centre square against a pretty good bunch of mids. We got more where the ball was. Cerra early and Matt Kennedy late were dynamic in the way they got the ball in the middle. Even though we didn't get a lot of taps, our rucks competed well and didn't allow Witts to just put them where he wanted.
Tom de Koning really competed well and took a few marks. He is a different player when he is holding his marks.
[3] Cincotta, Boyd, Cuningham and Fogarty didn't get huge possessions, but they really did good jobs. Cincotta's defensive work was excellent, Cuningham's run and dash, and his kicking really stood out. His smothers, chases and tackles were a big positive. All of these guys deserve a mention, even if they didn't get the numbers, because of the effort and the positive effect.
[4] Dow should get a go next week. His last quarter was pretty good: he had as many possessions as Martin had in 3 quarters. That said, Martin was so much more dangerous this week.
[5] Three goals to Cripps was excellent, but all of our mids hit the scoreboard today. 2 goals for Cerra, a goal to Fogarty, a goal to Kennedy and 2 goals to de Koning were more than useful contributions.
We had 9 goal scorers this week, which 150% of the number of goals we've been kicking recently.
Live Long and Prosper!

I think the best people who played their best game was the MC.
Finally picked a balanced side.
Kudos to the players for performing well and winning with a decent margin.
2024... Moir of the same to come
