I had Wilkie, King and Hill in the good category. Then Crouch. Ross was pretty ordinary, so was Gresh, Jones and the rucks. Our midfield lost badly. Billings was terrible, DMac sucked, Coops had one good moment in the game, Paton was poor, Webster poor. Long story short, we kind of sucked but won.
Was waiting for you to comment on Ben Long... story short

Is it just me or have others noticed that Jones just isn’t the same hard attacking player as last season?
Or should I say not as sure handed as he was, maybe still a bit rusty after a late start, when he went in the 2nd I personally thought good, now we can get Byrnes into the game.

** Footnote … Could only watch the first half, so I could sneak in a couple of hours nap as I have an early flight in the morning.
 
Adelaide players just literally threw themselves into the contest dived at the ball and that momentum carried them into our tacklers often over the shoulder. They did it last year that's how rhet beat us up north. The free kicks were there but there were as many not paid to us and the holding the ball decision has gone by the wayside.

They infringed at every marking contest and they were not paid as well.

The footy gods smiled on us tonight. Most free kicks that they had shots on goal missed...and when we marked we kicked straight.

We need more clearance focus and we need Clarke next week and Paton and Wood need a rest.

Great win....

He's not, but he's light years ahead of our new guys in terms of pure grunt.
I love what Windhanger and NWM do when they get the ball, but they don't get it anywhere near enough.
We need to compensate for Steele for several more games.

I almost believe in Karma .
Or maybe its a guilt factor that plays against accuracy. But dodgy free kicks often seem to result in dodgy kicks on goal.

Makes me feel much better about the Port game. We pinched one tonight. Balances out the two games a bit. King's kicking for goal was bloody beautiful. A pleasure to watch him do his thing like that.
Yep. Obviously happy we won but it wasn’t due to being the better team tonight. We were smashed around by a pretty poor team that we should have taken care of comfortably. Luckily some individual brilliance at the right times snuck us a win but I hope the review is extensive this week.

Many of our important players down in performance
 
Hats off to Brad Hill in his 200th. His class showed through and we definitely needed it tonight.

Love to see King marking and kicking like that.

Wilkie, Ross, Crouch good. Thought Long went ok again.

I don't trust Paton with the ball.

Adelaide played pretty well at times. Our ball use was abysmal at times.

Hands down the worst case of frees given for players blatantly ducking I've seen. It's a blight on the game and needs to be seriously addressed. Makes the umpires look like morons.
My buttcheeks are fully clenched whenever paton has the ball. You just know he's good a significant blunder at least once per game.

Strangely this year despite being 7-3 I'm not watching much of the replays. We are winning the games in one quarter and for the rest of the match we are meh.

After the tension of watching live it would be nice to sit back and lap up the replay. I'm finding myself only wanting to watch one quarter, maybe a quarter and a half most weeks.

Better than not wanting to watch it at all I suppose.
 
David King is our no.1 fanboi now.

Thank the lord.

I don’t know if I could take him calling us “fraudulent” one more time. That man loves to find a take and then sit on it for a year.

Also, we kicked a bigger score in that 4th Qtr then we did in the blitz 3rd Qtr against Geelong last week. Funny that… I guess our blitz in the 3rd last week was actually more of a 10 minute spree, but still, we’re getting very consistent at putting on a stack of goals when it matters.

Part of me thinks it’s a little worrisome and I’d like to have a more balanced and less sporadic game, but the other part of me acknowledges that Melbourne won a premiership on goal kicking sprees and good defence.

Very very interested in seeing how we consolidate and grow post bye.
 
From what I saw, Crouch was hard at the coal face, King was a dead-eye dick and Windhager showed his worth.

BTW no coverage here so I saw NOTHING thanks stupid election.

Which Sainter would you vote for in a federal election? Mason Wood?
