What an idiot. Guthrie is one of the premier half backs in the game these days. Henry super and back to his 2022 form. As is Kolo.

Wonderful win last night. Is Close injured? He looks to handball it off as quick as he can.

Lol Grant Thomas, what a joke, still salty after his dynasty Saints became also runs to the mighty Cats.
Now these are the sort of posts I love on Bigfooty
Bit like Nathan Buckley.
You can see why they didn't make solid coaches despite having some of the very best talent in the land.

I still find Holmes "deceptively" fast. I'm thinking he must have an excellent running technique, because he never looks like he is busting a gut - like you said, he just cruises away and leaves everyone in his dust.
That run from the defensive goal square past one the Port players (I think F. Evans) was hilariously arrogant - Holmes was never much more than arms length away but didn't give a shit, just strolled along, took a few bounces then hit a target.

It's struck me there are potentially 7 fit premiership players that could be recalled for the prelim, if needed. That's a crazy cushion. More so, it's likely only one (Stewart) maybe two (SDK) will be recalled.
Like Dangerfield, I've been saying for a while Holmes could become one of the very best players in the league. Some of his 2022 work was outstanding.
He needs to tidy up his disposal and decision making to reach that next level. Nothing crazy, just enough to have the damage to turnover ratio of Dangerfield. He was good in that regard last night.
It's already as clear as day that he's an A grader. Robbed of an AA selection this year.

Criticizing 4 premiership defenders. Interesting take.
I remember when we played them last round in 2003 after the Saints had won 4 games in a row by 10+ goals and everyone was raving about their young guns, but we ended up beating them, and Bomber was like "Hey, we've got promising kids too!" Ends up we got a few flags with our youngsters, while the Saints ended up with a DVD release.
They highlighted his running on FoxFooty after the game. He's not just a brilliant runner, he's a power runner and the arrogance he displayed when he knew a player was after him and he could bounce his way from them . . . Micky Turner-esque.
Thing is though, Holmes is a pretty big body so another year in the gym and he could be devastating.

Stop stop they are already dead
EFA.
In the end, Max thought he was just going to burn him completely but Frankie kept coming and pressured the disposal enough to see the ball end up out of play.
They all did. It’s how we won.

First premier of the 20s to win a final post flag. This comp is hard to maintain success.

I am still in utter shock at what I saw last night. What an amazing performance.
I thought we were no chance.
