Gotta love it when Toby Green comes under the microscope too!
Jus' sayin'

 

[katmanblue]

But but but Connor Rozee!!!

He'd be bloody handy though.

What makes Crippa's game even more outrageous is went at about 79.5% DE.

With the rebound unit all in the injury ward, the midfield just took it upon themselves to win the game. Their pressure early allowed them to live with our clearance dominace by reducing the quality and rebounding it back but as soon as that pressure dipped we just made a meal of them.

Hopefully the big lads in the middle have a good month of that stuff in them to keep the season rolling until we get a few back at either end to break some lines.

Greens gone imo
It’s one week ban all day every day surely

 

[Soapy V]

And Ollie! Have read some smack talk about him over the last 2 weeks. What a great game from him to shut the haters up!

Show me just ONE example of someone “hating” Ollie?

What a ridiculous comment

Actually true, I was worried as heck with the way Weiters was moving. Nek minnet, we just don't let it down there.

Weiters was struggling even before the corkie. Think they must have planned to drag him away from the ball and isolate Young as much as possible

That to win a flag you need to play 4 solid quarters. Not missing any points.

Be realistic we are not going to play 4 quarters against top quality contending opposition

Pitto take a bow, your best game for this club, by far!

Second half was huuuge

Did call for him to be subbed at half time

Credit has to be given to me on my comment during the game when I said we were a very average team that didn't kick goals
From that point on our pressure went to absolute elite and we kicked 10 goals

Jordan Boyd come on in leaps and bounds this year.

How bout that mark going back with the flight.

Courage and great skills. Love him!!!

hoped they would send him to Greene…he’s a great fit to minimise Toby’s influence.

For those here who said we can't play Cripps, Hewett & Kennedy in the same side I want you to cut a lemon in half, cover it in salt and suck on it continuously for the next 30 minutes. Then, and only then, can you reach for the tequila.

Loved that Cowan brought the aggression and attack on the ball that he showed last week in VFL. Looked ready for another go at senior level and proved us right.

Really good team effort and glad we rediscovered our clearance and contested game. Go Blues.

I don't drink alcohol but I'll suck a lemon straight after I get this egg off my face.
I'll also take back Kennedy can't play back, been brilliant the last couple of weeks he can play anywhere he wants.

Especially opposition with their speed and skills.

It's always going to be horses for courses. Funny thing is, I definitely thought this was a one ruck game. Not sure how we covered for our lack of pace. Just willed ourselves to win.

Clean use out of the middle helps. Even when we "wasted" our clearances and just bombed it forward, we gained field position.

In the first half, when our pressure was low, they slingshot right back and scored.

In the second half, when the pressure ratcheted up, we shut that down but still had the field position. Helped lock it in F50.

Even better win when you consider that it was probably Weitering's worst game in a long while, even before his injury.
Credit for continuing and to the coaches for planning around it.

 

[T2B_]

So we nabbed this Jordan Boyd dude in a mid season draft yeah? What a steal.

I hadnt seen the stat but it was noticeable enough watching him play today.

Whenever he got the ball, he made a conscious effort to steady the ball in his hands before kicking it - I'd say he's working on it.

It's unfortunate that only 3 Brownlow votes are offered per game - he deserves more than 3 for todays game.

I’ve seen one particular poster bagging Ollie & not just once
