After last weeks game that resembled trench warfare, last night was exactly what we needed.
A less intense game that was never in doubt, the skipper gets to ease himself back into it, a few lesser lights get to contribute in a meaningful way to build confidence, we get some more games into the rookies and sselwood, Menzel, cocky get another week of rest.
The last thing we needed after the gws game was another bloodbath.
On the back of a week of recovery in the sun on the GC, and a reasonably soft hit out against the bears we now head back to Corio refreshed and ready to hit the business end of the season hard. Perfect.

I'll be there. First game for the year.We will be up for this....
Their midfield consists of Mitchell aaaaand.........Langfordand 2 of their best 3 forwards ( Gunston & Sicily ) spend most of their time down back these days
Hodge is fat, Burgoyne is nudging 50, and if things do get close, there's always Ishank Smith to choke it up at a crucial stage
Confident about this week

So she stil loves you?
My wife wants me out of the house at every available moment.....footy season is her godsend
I've decided the best indication of our performance is how slowly the after match thread builds. The negative nancy naysayers run and hide and therefore people don't feel compelled to highlight there incompetent dreary drivel. As such we have a slowly building, rather enjoyable topic that actually provides some meaningful insight. Almost more enjoyable than the win . GO CATTERS!!!
. GO CATTERS!!!Hahaha this match report just proves the running joke Re Zorko that everyone was banging on about

Agreed but one who tends to cop a fair bit of it, biggy, was actually really good in the game day thread.
The "others" however won't be seen until Thursday.
[Umm no, she does not like me very much at all].So she stil loves you?

Anyway back on topic, my main concern with the game is "fatboy, good bloke's" 300 and a) how that might lift his team-mates and b) what he might be prepared to do to win.

Who was that commentator? He highlighted every free Brisbane didn't get, and was so begrudging of Geelong's win that he kept saying 'they wouldn't be able to do this against a better team'. You could feel his need to downplay our victory.
I don't know what it is about the Cats, or if we are all just biased, but it does seem to me the commentariazis have downplayed us for years. Is there a running joke we don't know about?
Facts are in terms of winning %'s - team, players, coach - we are off the charts and ahead of the pack. Is the problem that we win too much? FIIK.
Oh please.I've decided the best indication of our performance is how slowly the after match thread builds.

Um look at our finals record.
Woah hold on a minute there. You are not supposed to bring up facts that refute my argument.
But you make a fair point. Perhaps that stat can change this year, and next with GAS on board.
It's wide open this year and we are a chance. One thing in our favour is that Scott is coaching better, and he had better cos he needs to come up with an MCG plan or we might struggle again.
I think he will go out also.
Not for the same reason (thought he played ok and did his bit) but for balance.
Taylor will stay back now. Buzza as the second tall forward (at least one or two more games). Menzel back in a replacing Stanley (Blicavs/Buzza second ruck) or Cockatoo if Menzel still not right.

Don't sweat it.
Fatty is more of a liability than a motivation these days
Just so long as we don't have Kelli Underwood commentating!
When did Hawthorn beat GWS?
Vdubs
Hall of Famer
Won 2 points...
But I can never take them lightly. They have not much to play for , perhaps, but will want some revenge for that early form /debacle against us, and they are playing better footy.

Have to thank Brisbane for bringing zero intensity so that we could round off our holiday without any bruises.
Two things stood out last night. Z Guthrie is miles out of his depth. I see no reason to be playing him.
Blicavs has lifted. Hugely. He's taking a lot of marks at important spots. Yes he is sometimes mismatched. But I put that down to his running effort in that he's able to go with a mid and out mark him.

Maybe the negative naysayers are enjoying the win? I post a lot more negativity on bigfooty when we lose because it's how I vent. (Fiancée doesn't listen regardless, so no venting there)..When we win I enjoy the moment and show my boy the replays. Having said that, last night was a pisser on bigfooty and bigfarter should win post of the year with his Simpson meme.I've decided the best indication of our performance is how slowly the after match thread builds.

That report is just embarrassing:
The Lions just conceded the highest score across the league in 2017 and their largest defeat for the season - I'd hate to see what the scoreline would have been if they didn't fight until he end.
Geeez, any other week and the media & commentators would be falling all over themselves with the numbers that Danger produced. Zorko was good, but not sure he was 3 votes good when you look at the game overall and the impact that Danger had. I know that Zorko kicked 1 more goal and had more tackles, but Danger had 4 goal assists compared 1 and Danger also spent 8% less time on ground.
It seems that pre-match expectation is influencing the view of the match and players involved.
