All ready for the post match.

Saad and Forgarty better for the run, TDK LOVES  being the main man, Criops and Walsh never stopped, Kemp is coming of age, Cincotta the consummate role player!!

Take a bow Zac

Never in doubt really.  My only complaint is that we should have won by more … and that we kept pinpointing Mac Andrew.  He could be one of the best players of this era without our blokes kicking to him.

Kudos to the coaches for the forward line adjustments and kudos to Charlie for the work he put in to get on top of Andrew.

Some of the whipping boys in Ollie Hollands, Zac Williams and Orazio Fantasia deserve acknowledgment for their efforts today.  Williams showed enough to suggest that he could perform a Jack Martin role and he was effective when he went into the midfield too.

De Koning was outstanding against Witts and was probably more effective than a combination with Pittonet would have been.

Our defence was miserly, our midfield was brutal and our forwards were pretty good for a work in progress.

Really smashed them. Cripps showed Rowell who the boss is for now.

[BluePhantom]

Did what we needed to do.
4 Points ?

MBB, your comment worries me.  Sure we were expected to beat them, but what happens in three years?

[Gointocarlton]

Charlie frustrates the bejesus out of me. Everyone near me all thought the same thing, doesn't chase, doesn't run around much, plays for frees, an utterly terrible first half. But when he decides to flick the switch, he turns games.
Cripps was mega today I thought.

Liked to have gone on and won by 10 goals when we were 8 up but anyway, underdone blokes got a run under their belt, we found a forward in Williams, who's done alright 2 weeks in a row now, and always seemed in control against a side in decent form.

While we haven't gone bad with 2 rucks we certainly do look better balanced with the one ruck. There's more run. TDK played his best game for us and Harry revels in a run around the ground. Makes an extra target coming out of defence.

We actually had a ruck that won hit outs, clearances, tackles and took marks and won nicely - this is what TDK was doing before Pitto came in and lost three of four....players just took the game on with more run and scored more on turn over.... no idea what was going through selection committee head past month.
