Miers and Close had massive last quarters. It's guys in that age and experience range that can take us to the next level. Impressive from Miers in his first game back.

That's crap. People confuse positioning his body to give him the best chance of getting the ball going our way with backing out of contests and it's BS. Go watch the leadup to the controversial Hawkins goal. Massive ground ball win in traffic from Miers to get the play started.He did some good things and I don’t like targeting Geelong players but it is factual that he backs out of 3-4 contests a game at least - not in my team

Agree totally, and sincere apologies to you- somehow I thought you never watch these games.We weren’t better without Sav.
Stanley was forced to go to the wings and contest rather than just running up and down the corridor stretching the ruck.
Blicavs also had to hit the wings. And ruck.
It messed with our structure.
Pretty damn good coaching to work around all of that.
Can it work now and again? Sure.
For 18 more weeks? No
Great term. Think that it deserves hyphens and a lot of re-use *One of the few games where his clangers and defensive pant shitting wasn’t there. More of this please.
Wanna start one on Grainger-Barrass. Jinx the hell out of that mofoAin't no way I'm jinxing that
I had a chuckle when i read that !!!!Solid win for round 4, but they still have things to work on going forward. . Also, given we had Selwood, Stewart, & Sav out, that was a good effort tonight.

The Sav part, right?I had a chuckle when i read that !!!!
It really is way more than just a tweak, isn't it? The willingness to pull the trigger from stoppages and try to go both fast and forward is such a refreshing change. I think you can see that the group is thriving on it as well, as they are clearly enjoying the extra space this tactic affords and the way it ratchets up the pace on the ball. Didn't capitalise on all the good looks we set up in our forward half tonight, but the signs that we can actually cut through and score rapidly when we get it right were definitely there again.Just can't get over how completely different our game plan is this year. It's almost opposite.
There is such a thing as being too charitable, mate.We weren’t better without Sav.

Isaac has been nothing short of a revelation since joining the hoops. Brilliant debut season with us last year, and absolutely back to his best tonight.Smith is becoming my favourite player. He’s was bog tonight.
I’m not saying it wasn’t. I object to them making out it cost brisbane the game, and also they got some dodgy calls going their way too, like that blatantly obvious non call of the close in the back.
But it didn’t cost Brisbane the game
I thought Hawkins was superb. He could have had 7 easily. Love the saltiness over the push. Yeah it was a push and while we are at it how about the 49228 frees he hasn't been paid over the years?? Suck it!
