Couple of special mentions
Charlie curnow freak

Hewett stood up again in the middle 23 touches 15 contested and 10 tackles brutal football
 
Still worry about him defensively, but if he sticks around and makes it a focus over the off-season he could have found himself a permanent spot.

I worry about some of the Hollywood-play too. That 30m blind handball that found a GC player in an acre of space was diabolical. But then he'll weave through traffic, draw a couple of opponents and then shoot off an underground handball to a teammate's advantage.

Maybe a bit of a learning curve. Maintain thw attacking instinct and flair, but learn when to put it away and play the percentages.
He will learn defensive nuance as he goes, but for mine, you take the good with the bad, and good far outweighs bad right now.

You can’t fist pump and cheer when those things come off and lead to goals (toe poke last week is good example), and then bemoan those things when they don’t come off.
He will get better at that balance though.

Offensively he is a huge huge asset, 7 score involvements from a back pocket/flank is massive. For context, Curnow lead our team with 9.

As for defensively, I think his pressure is fine, laid 4 tackles today.
 
What an insane game, one of the worst starts I remember in a long time, absolute credit to the entire team to pull it back and get the job done, Cripps was hurt and others grabbed the game by the neck.

How good is Charlie.

Despite the win, I thought going in to preservation mode with 2.5 minutes to go, whilst 5 points up was very stupid and asking for trouble.

In my opinion I yes way to long to play keeping’s off and you need to score, GC had 2 scoring shots and about 4 entries during this time.

Another nail biting finish
 
Don’t stress.

Those that watched the game couldn’t see the ball either.

Shocking viewing with the sun.

Yeah my partner told me she couldn't see eighty percent of the game. Then role me the bloke behind me was trying to listen to my broadcast. Had someone said anything I'd have turned it up but alas it was almost always 8 or so seconds behind at points.

Just finishing watching the replay. Had family commitments today, and only managed to catch 3/4 time score. Wondered how it would end, but these Blues...

So happy for all, and truly envious of those down south who will get to finals. Best of luck and good health to all.
 
When we got 13 points down in the last quarter I lost all hope.

Not the first time that it was lucky that I was not Charlie Curnow.

5 points up and just under 2 minutes to go you should be trying to get a mark inside 50 to kill it.
 
All I heard in the commentary amongst the clinking of empty Bintangs was…” Dow gets another clearance”!!!
He was very good. Very neat and tidy game today.

I reckon He’d be even better if he tackled with a bit more ferocity.

He should watch Hewetts tackling and learn from it.
