AFL Toast Bombers by 35 against the Giants!

[Hamez]

Won’t see a better 3 possession game than that from Bellchambers tonight.

What a turn around from the start of the season. Much more intent and pressure.

 

[JayJ20]

I think this will be the game we look back to and say "that's when Langverde started".

 

[Stoka]

Wow. Gotta love it. Even with the umps not picking theirs holds. Brilliant effort and resilience by the boys

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Holy moly you lot... At half time the sky was falling in. Great win boys. Very proud old man tonight. Keep cracking in. Tackle hard. Take no backwards steps. Great to be a bomber. Go Dons.

2 weeks ago I felt no emotion watching us against the blues. Completely hollow. Compared to tonight watching in a pub with my heart in my mouth from pretty much the 2nd quarter on, letting loose with expletives and high 5ing strangers.

What a performance.

Is Leon Cameron the worst coach in the AFL?

They’ve been savaged by injury.

 

[Old Stuckup]

I think we can beat Richmond if we perform to this standard next week.

We are such a better team to watch when Fantasia is in our forward line. He is so bloody crafty.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Never in doubt.
Although the umps + 3 quarter curse did my head in.

I’m rather chuffed

Jolly good.

Based on these results we will beat Richmond and lose to Brisbane the following week.

Judging on their forms today, I wouldnt be suprised..

 

[Kyptastic]

I must admit when I saw both of them start in the middle for a centre bounce I was nursing a semi.

Another fantastic team effort. Going to be really hard to get Hurley and Daniher back into the lineup. Good problem to have.

You mean choofed?

 

[Its Manbearpig]

If I was told we'd win an interstate game in the first 10 rounds Id have flown to perth in rd 2.

Also Heppell in the lass two games has stopped worry about the cute stuff and has just gone for the ball in the middle as hard as he can and it's been working. 12 clearances today is a great effort.

How great was it when he ran through the middle in the last quarter after our goal. Boy did he hit that at pace.

Who the **** knows anymore.

 

[Howard Moon]

Guelfi was immense.

Ditto Devon, slight concern on that shirtfront though, hope it's just a slap on wrist.

Based on these results we will beat Richmond and lose to Brisbane the following week.

This thought ran through my head tonight don't worry.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Feels good man

 

[blitzer]

That was really impressive. There was a few things I really liked.

Our defense held up really well. GWS were getting on top in the inside 50s count but our defense just held tough. I was worried about the Cameron Ambrose matchup going in but he held up pretty well all things considered. I thought Saad was brilliant in particular.

Through the midfield great ruckwork from Bellchambers - probably could do a little more around the ground but when you get that many hitouts to advantage I don't think we mind too much. Heppell was super at winning clearances. Zac Merrett was classy but did fade a little as the game went on. Dev Smith went from 2 tackles in the first half I think to 13 by games end. That's a fair effort. Thought the balance of Stringer's game was brilliant tonight, won clearances and contested possessions through the midfield then went forward and kicked some goals and also competed really hard to bring the ball to ground a number of times where he wasn't rewarded.

I also really liked the effort of Guelfi. Just gives his all in every contest. I reckon other than being rested now and again he'll play plenty of games for us this year. Thought Langford and Laverde were both pretty solid and had some important touches. Baguley also did some great work today. I say this as someone that hasn't been that flattering towards either of Laverde or Baguley.

I hope there were no suspensions from any of the incidents tonight. There wasn't anything major but I want to have everyone on deck to take on Tigers. I'm hoping the only change will be Hurley in for Dea (nothing against Dea he was solid but its pretty inevitable).
