I repeat: Mattner, not a member of Roo's Boys' Club Inner Circle.
Yes, we'll never know why not. Probably:
1) not a Roo sycophant.
2) too successful to be one-of-us-one-of-us.

We are coming from a low base, anything other than rolling over and dieing is considered fantastic.
That said, it was s bit encouraging.

That was kind of the point I began with. We just shouldnt overstate what it was.
Two goals in five or so minutes was nice. We only kicked two for the rest of the quarter from there.

The final ball in is killing us. Today we at least got the pill through the middle but I reckon half a dozen times we killed it going in there.
4 goals in a 15 minute quarter is equivalent to a 6-7 goals 20 minute quarter.
For me it was the different attitude.
Not afraid to take the game on instead if being hemmed it at HB to scared to kick to a contest.
Scoreboard irrelevant
Means nothing if we don't start like that next week.

It's also equivalent to a four goal quarter.
If your point is we should be encouraged by things that didnt happen, that's absurd.
Generally you can find something in the kids, but in Himmelberg I see O
He was probably still on the beers celebrating the Carlton win!

Wait, bagging Tex was your first thought watching the game?
I would have thought the third term made it clear he'd be ok in a team that was even remotely competent.

You can always expect a fair reaming up there and it’s not necessarily the crowd influence, since there was bigger all there today.
LOL, I think you forgot that they are only playing 75% of the usual quarter and thought 4 goals in a quarter isn't that good.

You can credit me with the form revival. This comment was made in the first half. Tex obviously saw it and took it to heart. Would love him to maintain that form

They'll probably make a toyota classic moments ad about the time that we kicked two goals between about the 5th and the 16th minute of a quarter. Glorious.

There's been no news so I assume as well as last week

We won apparently.

A bigger deal out west.
Slightly better. We won but our best were Strachan and all of the older players like Mackay.
Are the 2nds playing practice matches at the moment? Well aware how badly the main team is playing, curious to see if the 2nds are just as bad.
From memory we only kicked like 2 goals against Port the other week.

We are playing scratch matches. Some clubs are having to combine their players.
We havent had to so far and have been beaten by Port and Suns ressies. We actually beat Lions ressies on the weekend in a close game. MCrouch, Stengle in out best.
Strachan in good form isn’t bad news at all. Big lad with some skills

Fair. I had him as a likely delist though, ROB looks like he is going through some second-year blues right now.
FWIW, I am not a big fan of Lynch (present day Lynch) and I missed the game as I was out having lunch, however, I heard him speak after the game as I was in the care and really liked the cut of his jib.
Remained positive and upbeat (but not in a deluded way) but made a point of stressing that he wanted to be in Adelaide playing for Adelaide (yes, understand that its not like he is fighting off offers) but it was the way it was said, felt like it was a bit of fightback from everything thats happened over the last few weeks. Not sure if anyone else heard it or had the same thoughts as me.
