If we beat Port I'm pitching a tent outside the MCC in preparation for grand final day.

Statistically speaking since our resurgence the last 3 games we are top 3 or 4 in most statistical measures. Can we sustain it? Odds would suggest prob not but never say never. But that 9 week stretch of poor football was inexcusable when this standard has been set suddenly (and don’t give me the whole personnel line).

Great win. Our best 4 quarter performance in years probably. Fingers crossed mk's knee isn't too bad and gov gets up well too. A win next week would be our biggest since the Richmond final I reckon.

Special shout out to the WA Blues fans who again were fantastic today and made a lot of noise and the experience for us watching here in Victoria (or around the rest of Australia) all the more enjoyable !

They were very loud. We always get good support over there.

We will replace Melbourne in the top 4

We have only faced 13th, 14th and 16th, how we play this week is huge. If we can overcome Port the lid comes right off.

I don’t necessarily want to be that guy..

However, Dow came on within near identical circumstances the last two weeks and had an impact.

Hewett came on with an extra 0.5 quarter and did 1/2 of what Dow has done.

The elite are worth their weight in gold.

But it's a bloody long tail.

That’s why I’d be happy to let TDK walk if we can get some good picks

 

[jj1978]

Please, please, please let us finish 8th and * fifth.

* would have to be the worst 5th place team I’ve seen at this point of the season ever. But when you have stuttering teams like Dogs, Saints and Geelong rounding out the 8 it’s a head scratching season.

 

[Aphrodite]

Can’t believe our last 3 wins are a combined total of 172 points for

Jack Martin’s intensity in the second half was next level. Had the fumbles in the first half - completely different player after the break.

That bump on Pearce in the middle and then to win the footy

Partly makes me a tad more infuriated that they couldn't figure this out even once in that 6-week stretch, but lessons learnt etc.

Mostly, the balance is exactly right. Quick ball movement exists, and defensive pressure is as the made-up pressure rating says 'elite'.

The JSOS/Young combo is not really sustainable, but boy is this utility version of Jack the best version of him. It seems pretty set where decision re TDK will end up this offseason, but if I'm being honest he is far more suited to play in this brand of footy w/ Jack than Pitt.

This style of play wouldn't have been possible with Fisher,Motlop and Durdin playing and Cuningham, Martin and Fogarty on the sidelines.

Random comment. Love the pick up of Cincotta. Does his job week in week out....

Ane his spatial awareness.chsnges direction when he feels someone's on him

 

[Wickzki]

I'd much rather keep him but I've been saying all year that we can make it win-win whichever way it turns out.

 

[katmanblue]

I also really hope that the MC recognise JSOS' efforts and not simply chop him for TDK. At a guess, Gov misses a week, Young down back and TDK in.

Gov's is just a cork.

Up the baggers!! Bring on Port

Yes and no.. when we played GCS they were playing for 7th spot. Freo if Geelong coughed up today would’ve been playing for 8th. How often does a team who starts the round at 15th jump up to 11th and is a game out of 8 all of a sudden.

 

[Keyza]

I am loving this winning feeling.
Just need to keep a lid on it.

What a good Birthday present…

We’re back baby…

Isn’t that the reason to keep TDK?

 

[Dramoth]

Was walking around in the room apparently according to MMM

I watched him walk onto the ground in the brace.

As it stands, if all rucks were fit right now I'd be going with Pitto and JSOS.

JSOS just gives us so much around the ground and even in clearances after the ruck contest.

TDK is referred to as a mobile ruck but realistically barely touches it around the ground...and his ruck work isn't top tier either.

We have been exposed with JSOS in the ruck against certain teams though...but like today, maybe our mids can do a better job of covering it.
