Love constant sh**ting on team, coach and players after every mistake during the game by most people here and then we beat a team on their home ground which some commentators have as one of flag favourites.


Most players delivered today unlike previous games where we had too many passengers. Farrar had some unbelievable moments in the last quarter. Budarick is back. Witts is a warrior. Rankine in VFL - haha.

Thompson survived!

Enjoy the win.
All part of many long time supporters here being very emotionally attached and craving success given our uninspiring history of losses I guess.

Something is building with this team though. We are not that far away from turning the regular losses into regular wins, even if they are ugly wins. Boys just need to keep playing together, continue to gain confidence and hopefully find a couple of more A grade mids. Provided our injuries don’t hurt us, the second half of this season could get very interesting.

I thought that was Luko at first glance but what the hey-I feel like dancing!!!:D
 
I think we match up well against Freo
I think it's a 50/50 game
Would be great to jag the win
Will be a chance for Dew to show us how Will can't hack the Suns gameplan too eh;)
We match up well against them at home.

Used to always worry about Fyfe. Just need to hit our short targets as Chapman, Pearce & Ryan are elite interceptors
 
Shout out to Rowelly
I shudder just thinking about what he puts his body through but his work in and under in that last quarter was immense
Oh-and who would have thought it but Dave Swallow shows everyone why he was a number 1 pick
How fantastic to have him and Rory out there doing there thing
I remember talking to Dave in the Virgin Lounge a couple of years ago and he was really upbeat about King Rankine Rowell and Anderson
I went into whine mode and said something about being a Foundation Member and wanting some wins
He just looked me in the eye and said
"Mate I've been here since the start.No-one wants it more than me"
And people want to drop him

I want to drop him from the back flank - his skill set is literally the opposite for what’s required.

As a centre square mid though, completely different story.

Lions: 27 disposals, 1 goal, 7 i50, 7 clearances
Swans: 24 disposals, 7 marks, 1 goal, 8 i50, 6 clearances.


Trouble is we have swallow, Anderson, Miller, fiorini, rowell who all essentially play the same position and aren’t great at playing any other position.

Maybe Anderson or rowell has got to go play forward line occasionally like a dusty or a libba does.

I’ve been critical of our coaching and opportunities to win of late.

Today was a great win for the club
Hopefully it pumps up the confidence.

3 goals after halftime though…
Almost got us undone.

I feel when we are ahead at halftime.
Dew seems to change the winning game plan into a save our score game plan.

Manage to scrap it out and hold on late.

Chol still seems lazy, yet when he gets his half a opportunity he kills it.
Some nice touches to help team mates and himself to snag one.

I think this has a fair bit to do with Sydney’s ability to defend their home ground.

Were you watching the 4th quarter? It only looked as if one team was going to score
 
Holy... shit, What a day!

Wheels up at 9am and back in the door at home by 9pm

Not bad for a trip literally organized on Thursday Night/Friday Morning

I don't really have any words other than YEAH THE ****ING BOYS :hearteyes:

Huge ups to SUNS and CanYouFeelTheSunburn - Hell of an atmosphere lads
 
Thought Wil Powell was great today, Fararr has good awareness ( not a strong trait at our club) and Ben followed up his recent good form

Weller is a frustrating player as is Fiorini. Dumb errors just kill us.
Yeah think Powell was our main defender on heeney.

Heeney had clearly his worst game for the year. Least possessions and first game without a goal.
 
Suns Supreme

After reading this thread I should ban you from posting in game day threads lol. Maybe You can create your own thread with Iva Bigun and Ben Drever for miserable pessimists. I'll pop in from time to time, but wont be as prominent as you :p

Hey now.

I’m sitting on the fence.

Was some good and some bad…
It’s one game.

Let’s see what happens this week
 
i really liked budarick game, ball winning hb/back pocket is what we were crying out for and missing last year when he got hurt.

also big witts best game of the year imo, full credit as big ladhams was in form.

funny thing is the style of footy we are playing atm is great for finals dare i say it!!
