Cyril, Gunston and Sicily all firing up forward today.
Mitch was good as always (Congrats on the 300th champ) Ceglar was good in the ruck and Stratts and Gibbo were solid down back. And kudos to WX for backing up last week with another great game.

Loved hill whitecross and big boy's games. Getting into form at the right time.
WX is a like a new recruit. Was definitely not on my radar (no disrespect to him - I loved him years ago but thought that his injuries were the end of him).

Could be the difference this year - seriously!
 
For mine the best thing was the fringe players. Otherwise (apart from the last quarter) it was an inaccurate and untidy game with only one quarter required to crush the insignificant joke of a team that is Richmond.

Brand makes some green mistakes but competed well, marked well and wasn't afraid to run off his man to set up some passages. Clean disposal to go along with 18 disposals. Valuable structural player too as Gibbo really got off the leash.

Whitecross looks sharp, clean and composed. Starting to look like the player he was before injury.

People thought O'Rourke was quiet, and he was when playing across half forward. But in the last quarter, when given reign in the midfield, racked up 8 or so disposals, a goal and ~three score involvements. For mine he just needs continuity and perhaps another preseason.

Sicily was electric. Quiet first half, but lifted drastically in the second with both his forward impact and his defensive efforts. Will be a star.

Timmy O was the only real one that was dissapointing. Couldn't really impose himself on the game and didn't really get much of the ball either. Can't fault him for trying as he always tries to tackle and chase, but he was probably the most dissapointing player in our side today.
 
Not a game to rewatch but a win is perfect and what Sam deserved.

Mitch BOG and father of the year off it. He has had a good day

No injuries, some percentage and four points - mission accomplished
 
Hawthorn fear the Tigers?
