Autopsy 2021 87 point win against Gold Coast

At the time, yes. Though it's since become clear that we had a comfortable win over a non-finalist.
I think that game was more about what is represented rather that the actual outcome. It was the young kids playing well. The arrival of Mills as a mid. The way we played was something else

I mean yeah but we were just as good 2 weeks before that against Brisbane.

I still think technically our best win was the Geelong game. That was a legit finals-like game, where genuine quality opposition kept coming at us right until the last minute. We had to be on for every minute of that game and though it was a relatively unremarkable 2 point win, I think that we came out on top was the moment it became clear to me that we were going all the way.

But in terms of our best demolition footy, today was pretty bloody good.
 
If McLean is the preferred forward option, why couldn't Reid get the job done against the likes of Hawkins or Dixon?

Competes well in the air, is mobile, big body, long arms...

Reid has had his entire career to be given a shot down back full time. I've thought it was a good idea as well, but clearly the coaches think otherwise because it's never been tried for any extended period. And that's probably for a reason.
 
Regardless of what happens next week, it has been a great year.

Many young players improving, some dramatically.

Buddy looking so good that even if he was to get injured again, you'd expect him to come back.

Despite incredible obstacles over the last 18 months, the culture of the club is amazing.

Not everything is perfect but we should all be very excited about this year and the next.
 
Our best football is good enough to win the flag but form is a fickle bastard.
I think a lot depends on Mills and Kennedy. 4 wins on the trot is a big call. That said, the winner of the first qualifying finals will have 2 byes. Get through the Prelims and we’ll be looking very good.

We won’t go under the radar though amd might not have a blessed injury run , blokes might leave etc

Try and take it now

Really really positive win. Lots of good to take away from that.

Firstly what a ripper 23 weeks of footy for our boys. Who would've thought. Firmly back in the flag conversation.

Buddy was huge. Looked on from the get go.
Thought our whole forward line really clicked, and Gulden/Campbell's kicking was elite.
Dawson very good again.
McCartin did a pretty good job considering was always going to be beaten in the air.
Wicks was very good, had him up there. After a quiet month it was really good to see.
Heeney one of the best on as well.
And just putting a team like that to the sword was good to see. I'd almost prefer that then a tight gritty contest. Doing what top 8 teams should do to a bottom team.

And to top it off, walked past McInerney coming out of KFC on Chapel St all of an hour after the game haha.

Really eager for next week. West Coast win this would be a great result for us if we can get past week 1. Cmon eagles.
 
Interesting. Horse in his presser indicated that Mills has had the Achilles issue for a while now, but they've been able to manage it. Probably that time out he had due the Covid scare interrupted his routine and now he's got issues because of it.
 
Just had a look at the dickheads twitter feed. Has not mentioned Sydney once throughout the duration of the whole season. Maybe he forgot we were actually in the league and editors had to chuck us in themselves?
Did the same. Not exactly a prolific tweeter. Dropped him a note to remind him. Nothing rude. Not my go.
