Performances like these have cost us a few times this season unfortunately and probably will continue to do so. Take the 4 points but the Saints are a poor, poor side and we let them back in several times tonight through pretty lazy footy. Shoutout to Joe, busted his ass tonight and has all season. Clearly the best player on the ground. Also thought Kai's energy was very important in the last quarter when the majority of the team were going through the motions, every touch matters to him and his importance to the team over the last 6 weeks has been greater than the stats would suggest.

 

[alscotoz2]

Great first quarter. Then...not much

 

[braddsey]

cant remember being less enthused about a win than after that

Could be worse… have more enthusiasm for that win that those losses earlier this season.

 

[mpal6]

Never in doubt !!!

 

[JasRulz63]

But I think McKenna needs a spell in the VFL, he's killing us with turnovers and we have plenty of good HBFs.

Will need to improve or he's just keeping Beecken's spot in the seniors warm .

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I feel sorry for Charlie's nephew, getting accosted by a rabid BT.

 

[3KZ is Football]

McCluggage, Daniher, Zorko, Lester and Wilmot

Lester was great tonight. Twenty-one disposals at 100% disposal efficiency. Really playing the backline general role well. Daniher had a cracker. Zorko and McCluggage were on fire in the first half and Wilmot is going from strength to strength.

 

[KissKiss]

Definitely a bizarre game. Forwards were mostly really good and the backs mostly poor. Almost the opposite of most the rest of the year.

Zorko and Hugh set up a lot of that win early. Joe was big all night. Berry did a critical shut-down role on Steele.

 

[martinson]

We won so that's over.

Time now to put a lot of work into next week.

 

[braddsey]

We'll be right in a week, the boys will work on defence and keeping focus. I'm not overly concerned by the switch off. But I think McKenna needs a spell in the VFL, he's killing us with turnovers and we have plenty of good HBFs.

Votes to Daniher, Zorko, McCluggage, Rayner and Morris. I'm actually really surprised Rayner only had 13 disposals, it felt like he was one of the few bright spots in the second half. Best game Zorko has played all year, apart from getting a kick stolen by Henry for a goal.

Rayner held 3 big marks in the forward line (though one taken off him). He was good in the center in the last, but his distribution let him down, or his team mates let him down. Still, he’s on the up.

 

[questeds]

Joey, Zorko, Clugga, Rayner and Morris for my 5. Not the prettiest by a long shot. Terrible umpiring, shocking centre bounces ,(did he actually give up at one point?)

Take the points and move on

BT just said that Marcus Ashcroft is training with us. Still got it!

Didn't he actually call him as taking a mark in the first?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Rayner held 3 big marks in the forward line (though one taken off him). He was good in the center in the last, but his distribution let him down, or his team mates let him down. Still, he’s on the up.

I'm okay if he's just so-so now, he'll peak in the finals!

 

[DreadBat5701894]

Didn't he actually call him as taking a mark in the first?

He did

 

[MSB ROYS]

4 points, but a bit too close.

 

[braddsey]

BT called Ashcroft during the game.

 

[MSB ROYS]

BT called Ashcroft during the game.

He is struggling old BT.

 

[martinson]

Rayner held 3 big marks in the forward line (though one taken off him). He was good in the center in the last, but his distribution let him down, or his team mates let him down. Still, he’s on the up.

He's been good the last 2 weeks and the way we're using him he's able to put in enough effort when he gets near it.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Channel 7 just highlighting 'controversial' frees against the Saints but not one the other way. Never change the narrative!

 

[Kwickhatch]

Did the saints not get called for a dangerous tackle?

 

[dlanod]

McCluggage, Daniher, Zorko, Lester and Wilmot

Sigh, I'm going to have to reevaluate my voting. Can't have 80% alignment, that's just wrong.

 

[Elixuh]

Hard game to judge. We won the game in the first quarter and then just kinda cruised. The concerning thing was how much our structure collapsed in the last quarter.

 

[braddsey]

Channel 7 just highlighting 'controversial' frees against the Saints but not one the other way. Never change the narrative!

So didn’t highlight the “dangerous tackle” frees? Or Oscars mark in the forward line?

 

[3KZ is Football]

Sigh, I'm going to have to reevaluate my voting. Can't have 80% alignment, that's just wrong.

Embrace the fact that you are almost as good a judge as I am

 

[Ceebee]

He is struggling old BT.

Then he called him Marcus in the change rooms .
Silly old fool .
