A Friday night win is so great because you can just enjoy the rest of the weekend thinking **** all yall.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

3-3-1 with two rucks (0-2-1 with all three)

So Draper + Wright is the best winning combo?

 

[DallasCrane316]

What a win!!

Merrett, Durham and Caldwell are just massive. Shiel was a great addition, found his way back in during the second half.

Jones suiting his position very well. Caddy should stay in the team from now on.

 

[fairbump_playon]

I really need to know why we waited so long to put Hind on???

Weird one

We were out on our feet

 

[blitzer]

That was a fantastic win. I'd say most of our midfielders won their positions. Obviously special mention to Merrett who was absolutely first rate. Caldwell/Durham have been getting praise all year and they kept up their good performances.
Shiel looked the best he has in years especially as the game wore on. I think some tough love in the VFL has really got himself fit and firing.

Some guys who probably won't get much praise but were very good. Kelly absolutely dominated Hill. Kelly is at his best when the opposition have a super dangerous small forward that he just needs to focus on locking down and he did just that.

McGrath was excellent. He was one touch all game long, cleaned up a ton of messes and defended really well. It wasn't his most eye catching performance but it was very polished.

Draper was pretty good with a caveat. He was great at all the big man stuff. Taking marks, being a physical presence etc. But geez his finesse in tight quarters is non existent - one of the goals Collingwood got early he took the ball out of the ruck cleanly and gave it straight to Crisp and he had plenty of time to do a lot better.

Jones on the wing seemed good. Its funny because we tried Cox on the wing as we wanted a KP sized player giving us a marking edge and now with Jones it seems much better.

Perkins probably could do with a spell in the 2s and he had a few shocking moments, although to be fair he also had some positive game influencing ones too. I really like his kicking in general and normally his marking is good - even though he dropped an absolute sitter in the last which lead to the first of those Collingwood run of goals. I think we either move him back to the forward line or he plays VFL midfield and develops his craft some more particularly on the defensive side (I'd consider giving him a few run with roles and get him to develop that side of his game).

I thought they had given up after that first quarter. So wrong.

 

[eth-dog]

So Draper + Wright is the best winning combo?

5-1 with Goldy/Wright, 0-1 Bryan/Wright, 2-0 Draper/Wright

 

[fairbump_playon]

Needed that scalp, not to prove premiership credentials or anything but just to prove to ourselves the plan will work if we execute what we need to.

Still plenty to work on, but proof of concept nonetheless.

You went with your head

I went with your heart!

(Also.. nearly got Shiel to 30 touches)

A scalp! You beauty!

 

[Its Manbearpig]

In my work tipping comp, I've picked us every round, this weekend I was certain we'd lose, I didn't see us manufacturing a win. I figured we'd lose by about 20
Whether a last minute drop away or
A brave catch up play, I didn't see us winning, I saw us losing by 20.


Crazy to see how far Caldwell & Durham have come.
Langford is now 5th in the Coleman, despite clearly carrying lately.
How huge was Caddy! Involved in almost every single score in the first 3 qtrs. Keep him in for the rest of the year
Jones is massive on the wing
Happy to have Duursma back
Duz and Caldwell again just huge.

No negatives mentioned here, just going to enjoy in this post, and about to warm up my shisha and enjoy some highlights.

feels ğoof to run it on my step dads face after ýesrs of ShIT ESSSNDON GAMES GUCK UEAH

 

[Phone]

a bunch of those wins with Wright as second ruck were against North, WC, Richmond etc. I don't think it means anymore as a stat than not having defeated a "current top 8 team" meant

[WindyHillZephyr]

Possibly no changes this week? What do you think?

 

[tandino]

Bloody hell, now I don't know what to think.

[Vindicater]

Did anyone else get the anti Albanese free sport ad?

 

[Its Manbearpig]

eth-dog , I respect you as a poster you've been here a very long time. I made the call we had the game won a bit early tonight, I admit. How are you feeling about this win my man?

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Did anyone else get the anti Albanese free sport ad?

No. And what the fudge does that mean?

 

[Vindicater]

No. And what the fudge does that mean?

I am in SA and just before the ad break ended we got an anti-labor advert about free sport

 

[Mr Bultitude]

Baby Bultitude is 8 weeks old, and I just saw some early smiles/cooing, right after a win against Mrs. Bultitude's side

Weren't they celebrating 2010 tonight as well?

How coincidental that we drew against them earlier in the season too.

Also up Collingwood.
