Fantastic full ground pressure helped by the best balanced side we've had all season, thanks to - ironically - Grimes' injury. A handful of positional changes had a big say in it too, but it was the formally non-existent effort and intent that caused Brisbane to fall apart.

Once we started hunting them relentlessly it was a completely different game. Surely Balta and Baker stay back for the rest of the year with Miller as second ruck? Is this game gives the young guys belief and the experienced guys renewed hunger we may just scrape in.

Not confident of Grimes being be back this year. As long as he's not replaced by yet another tall defender we may just be okay.
You'd think Gibcus comes back?

Hinkley will get sacked tomorrow and Poort will lift for their new coach Kane Cornes.

Season on the line every week from here… next week going to be massive. Basically just need to keep winning from here and not look back
If Carltoon lose all 3 we can afford to lose one.
 
First off let me say that was one of the best wins we've had since 2020 and after the previous 3 weeks it was great to run over the top of a side that was well in control at half time and build some belief back into the side. However the first half asks more questions of just where we're at when it comes to being a serious threat come the finals. We were opened up at will by the Lions who waltzed the ball out of our F50 and into their F50. Our back 6 were all over the shop trying to get their match ups right, our mids were second to the ball and up forward we couldn't get anything going.

Even though we flicked the magnets around in the second quarter we still couldn't make any in roads and at half time it was pretty much season over. For mine the first move that made a difference was swapping Baker and Short around after Short was torn a new one in his move back to defence, then at half time the move to send Balta back to D50 after he developed frostbite in the first half and it could have been the end of us when Grimes went down but the move to put Daniel on to Cameron and make Cameron have to be accountable for a dangerous rebounding defender. It also meant that Maurice got introduced into the game which added some much needed pressure to our F50 which stopped the Lions defenders from being able to simply walk out of our F50.

At 3/4 time I honestly thought we'd spent our petrol tickets and would get ran over again, but we dug deep and I have no doubt that Dimma played the Edwards card at the last break to ask the team to find something extra again and to their credit they did and gave Edwards a fitting ending to his 300th.

My votes for today

don't post about jekkyl n hyde this week n we will get an easy win

I didn’t post about them last week against Freo but as I ran them over and announced they were no more and they didn’t rock up.
I didn’t mention them This week and luckily they rocked up at half time . So there on the loose again , little campaigners
 
Rioli the super sub.

He’s so important to our second halves. Can’t wait for him to have an AFL tank.

Miller into the ruck was good.

Sonsie 20 and clean.

Lynch turned it on

Bolton is the new Dusty which is insane to have both of them

Jacks best game for awhile

Cumberland is a star in the making. Wowee
 
we were lucky to get away with it after jack grahams random bomb i50 at the end. so lucky cumbo smothered that rebound kick. i was already pre-melting expecting a loss as soon as he kicked that i50

I didn’t go game today as had the beast all week , had to go to my mums house and pick up my laptop so I sajd to mum leave it outside on front door mat.
Got to mums , and dads watching the game I seen through window, mums yelling at me we are winning by a point 😂 neighbours must have thought what the **** is going on over there as I watched rest through the window outside yelling my head off
