[jamesclean]

LATE THREAD TONIGHT SORRY GANG

 

[StonesThrow]

Bad: our tall defender curse. Just when we start to look settled with our KPDs, something bad happens

[lockheed]

Brilliant, and well done.

 

[50BC]

That was sphincter clenching stuff. Have we beaten Essendon at that venue before? Fingers crossed for Murray but doesn't look good

 

[jackster83]

What a cracking game of footy.

Keays and Fog's best games for the club.

Amazing how much better we look when we take the game on.

To win in Melbourne with multiple injuries and shit umpiring was great.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I had a hunch this game would be like the Carlton game this year.

Huge win for the team, we never gave up and look what happened.

. 7 touches, 2 goals in that last term, dragged us back into the game when it was gone.

Ugly: the umpires robbing him of the big moment by refusing to pay two obvious free kicks right in front after his fourth goal.

Beautiful: Rash making sure it didn't matter.

 

[Crows I Am]

That was our best win for a while, very entertaining game to watch.

was huge
Fog very good
Back line held up very well after losing Murray and Butts.

May cost us pick 4, but happy to enjoy the win and see what this young group is is capable of.

 

[pjcrows]

A good effort against 25. Wins like that are fun.

Not sure Dowling and Taylor ready.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Mixed feelings. Great to come from behind but also a phyrric victory with those injuries and our draft position.

the goober cost us the season not playing the young players earlier.

We look better and ARE better when they play

 

[Moonwatcher]

UGLY: That time Microsoft caused the 2nd biggest IT outage for the day.

 

[JP Sauce]

Brutal: campaigners playing Mr Brightside while the boys celebrate on the field.

The Ugly

[MRB37]

Keays and Fog in that last quarter

 

[Scorpus]

Good: the confidence Rachele will gain from winning us the match

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Two words: Keays, Fog

 

[Shuestar13]

Could this be a turning point?

Horrific umpiring against. Losing two of your key defenders. Captain off the ground for most of the last quarter. Three goals behind with a young team and unfortunately carrying a few (we need not name them). And you won.

Rachele deserved that. Fogarty deserved that. They all did.

Really hope that this game can be a boost you need heading into the preseason and new year. Despite how disappointing the season has been overall, you could, just maybe be in a better position than a year ago, due to the emergence of some new players and development of a heap of others.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Fog: if finals aren't on the card, it's about getting games into the younger guys like Bond, Dowling, Taylor.

Can we make him coach too?
