So what you are saying is Voss could be coach of the year? All this team needs to do is win the premiership? Rightio boys get it done!

They might be more satisfying but they are not good for my anxiety or pants dry cleaning bill.

Kingy is normally said good things about us most of the year. He’s the one that actually still believed in us. I guess will see this morning on SEN when he an Gerard do there top 4 seeds
Ironically Charlie showed how it should be done.
A couple of times he was on HF line he delivered 50m pinpoint passes across the ground to a teammate on their own…sublime kicking and vision.

He has for sure, since we came good. He was very critical of our game plan and Voss's choices during the bleak 6 week run. But then he praised Voss for turning it around. I thought he was stingy with praise last nite, but it was more protecting Ross Lyon.

How wonderful that it was Dow who kicked the goal to put us in front last quarter!

Not sure I've ever heard BT be so enthusiastic about our team in a call.
In the past we lose this game, blame injuries and/or bad kicking. Now we just find a way to win it. If we can only get the injury thing right and hit finals with form who knows. The Doggies did it in 2016 with a big run going into the finals.
I think he got better as the game progressed. Won some important clearances as well.
I was bit surprised in Vossy’s post match when he said he was planning on subbing Dow off until he kicked that goal. Fogarty was the obvious choice at 3/4 time.

THIS!! Was great to see - loved the celebration also, hand in air as soon as it left his boot. As the commentators said his confidence was growing more every minute!

Definitely slower to react than most. Needs to trust first option as he works his way back

Centimetre perfect
Some things that were going on last time we won 7 in a row:
- John Howard was Prime Minister. Bill Clinton was the US President
- The season was being played slightly earlier than normal to accomodate the Sydney Olympics. 7th August was actually the date of the last home and away round
- We were only 6 months away from the first crew arriving in the international space station
- Tiger Woods was about to burst on the scene - only a few weeks later he won his first ever major
- We were a plucky bunch who had recently survived the millenium bug. If i remember correctly it was defeated largely thanks to the 12 goals snagged by 18 year-old Brendan Fevola in the 'Millenium Match' played against Collingwood on New Year's Eve
- Our winning streak kicked off with a 91 point demolition of Port. Craig Bradley had 41 touches, Scott Camporeale got the 3 Brownlow votes, and Aaron Hamill led the way up forward, while Stephen Silvagni demolished Warren Tredrea at full back.
- Match 5 in our winning streak (against St Kilda) was our first ever win at the newly opened Docklands stadium. Matthew Lappin kicked 4 for the Blues
- Match 7 in our winning streak (in Perth against West Coast) saw Brett Ratten get the 3 Brownlow votes. The hapless Eagles were on their way to their lowest ever ladder finish... but help in the form of Chris Judd was only 18 months away
- Match 9 in our winning streak was against Brisbane at the Gabba. The Lions were 12th at the time, but rallied under captain Michael Voss to make finals and ultimately finished 6th
- That winning streak would eventually get to 12. Five of those matches were at Princes Park
- Brodie Kemp, Jesse Motlop, Ollie Hollands and Sam Walsh weren't yet born. Paddy Dow had just hit 3 months of age.

The best win for sometime that last quarter was magnifique
Don’t think it’s that hard .. Kennedy walsh mckay and McGovern and cerra for Marchbank , curnow , Dow , Fogarty , fisher . Sos is the hard one , him or pitto play but the thing is we wil always have injuries so that depth looks good

Second best part of the game.

Under the circumstances, that was a better win than the Pies.
St. Kilda were very switched on, I thought losing Gov might have been the last straw.(his replacement, Marchy concerned me)

When the midfield is stacked, how to play him consistently though?
Agreed he needs FT midfield minutes to develop further and gain confidence.
If all of Cripps, Walsh , Hewitt, Cerra and Kennedy are fit - and they want to play cunners, Motlop , Fogerty through there from forwards, also occasionally doc & acres - how do we give Dow full & consistent games ?
Fisher also showed want he can do on the ball - was brilliant yesterday.
Dow’s not a forward clearly - a clearance specialist with his burst and strength.
As much as we’d like to keep him, not sure how we do ( per Fisher ).

Rapt that we finally beat the Saints...who have had the wood on us in recent years...and that we also beat a Ross Lyon side, that plays (with very few exceptions) the type of footy that I loathe. I have no issue with high pressure games...but the focus on locking down everything and smothering the game makes me want to spew up.
You will be in a long queue of posters confessing they were wrong about ...errr coaches, half the players, and not just the ones we were assured had papers stamped ..............
