The way he swerves and accelerates immediately upon getting possession is incredible to watch live. He creates so much instant space for himself and then uses it so well nearly every time. Let alone the defensive efforts he brings with tacking and pressure. He’s a terrific player and should be named in the 40 man AA squad at a minimum.

To me this was an intersection point of everything wrong with the VFL umpiring department.
One of the subtle points I noticed from the Members wing throughout the game was how long the umpires gave Freo players on the mark and never gave them a ‘hurry up’ or called ‘play on’.
Then that late call against TFG was completely the opposite of their interpretation of time on the mark earlier in the game. The fact that it was TFG with the ball just encouraged the VFL boys to throw him unknowingly to the wolves.
While that incident was very late and probably couldn’t have decided the result, it almost cost us an instant goal against.
The mind boggles as to what manufactured bs we’re going to cop from the umpires next week against the Poodles.

Actually, I had a different perception watching Cogs.
There were one or two moments - particularly around the centre-wing area on the members side of the field where he actively chose not to bump/tackle to spare his shoulder.
Personally, I think that is a smart play as we really want him available for finals.
Love Cogs, but I’d rest him next week and give his shoulder two more weeks to strengthen and recover.

On a positive note, I think the Members wing reaction may have been decisive in getting Hogan’s late 50m call on the non-Members side of the ground at the scoreboard end.
I can’t recollect a louder reaction from the Members wing for a free kick claim on the opposite side of the field.
We’re in an uphill fight re umpiring, but we’re not completely helpless.

That was going to be 50 irrespective of the crow it was that obvious. Even Longmuir said it was a 50 in his presser

Maybe, but it appeared a slightly late umpiring call from the distance of the Members wing.
I could be mistaken.
Fairly sure though that there were 5-10 umpire calls or non-calls against us during the game that were far more outrageous.
The sheer unpredictability of umpires calls at GS just does my head in.

Agree that they made some pretty bad calls but that 50 was soo blatant. Not in the contest and gives a late shoved after the mark was taken.
The holding the ball against Toby was atrocious! Felt like their best avenue to goal was the free kick in front of goals.

How blatantly bad were the i50 frees to Freo?
A Hawks fan told me - with complete sincerity - that he’d never seen anything like it(!)

He was off today.
But he also came up with one the biggest plays of the match wiinning the big contest of the defensive 50, keeping it front of him and sending it down the corridor for a goal for us.

There has been.murmurs this week about picking him.
Playing his big gamees at the right time
Recency bias should help him.

He's been very good all year, so hopefully his name has been there and thereabouts. The spectacular end to the year might just nudge him into the squad. Unfortunately, the way selectors go about it, unless he leads all-comers in stats, I doubt he makes the final team cut.

I checked through what Ash had done for staging one. Surely it wasn’t with 10:35 left in 3rd quarter at kick in where Voss pushes him in the head.

Atmosphere on tv sounded great. To bad the cameras are aimed at the wrong side.
It’s an old complaint but the tv cameras are aimed at the wrong side, whether there was no choice or not.
Kills the tv product side of things.

Have watched the highlights 5 times, and the game in full twice.
So many good to great moments that seem to show that even when we aren’t switched on we go that extra step.

Had a rewatch some things I noticed.
Despite kicking 6, Jesse was a a long way off his recent form.
Missed 2 he should have kicked and dropped an easy chest mark in front the obvious ones. But he also ran under another easy mark and the 2 harder kicks. Probably should have been 8 but could have been 11 or 12.. What could have been.
We were off with our handball all night.. missed a lot of easy ones we'd normally make. Darcy Jones and Harry H probably the worst offenders. Both offered plenty else
McMullen is so composed and clean. Not many touches but they are usually good. The hand ball in the first to Jesse from the ball up (when Jesse hit the posi) and the quick launch to Toby in acres of space where he missed on the run were great moments.
Most importantly we should have put them away in the first. Let the off the hook with some missed opportunity.
We are looking good for finals with plenty more gears left

The thing I like about Darcy is that if he makes a mistake, he instantly tries to rectify it. I’ve seen him miss a couple of handballs but then he salvages the play with a good chase or tackle.

Fair points - the way I optimistically see it is if we are winning (an equal club record 7 straight), when not playing well or for the full 4 quarters, then there is plenty of upside for us as the finals approaches? Unlike Kingsley’s debut last year, we will also now have the double chance as well as hosting (at least) 1 home game

Brent Daniels (GWS)
“I loved his game,” Cornes said.
“29 disposals, three goals, 13 tackles, seven clearances and the best small forward in football, albeit Dylan Moore is pretty close. I think they’re the two clear standouts right now. Charlie Cameron has had a down year, Tom Papley would be in the mix but is injured.”
Buckley added: “They are two (small forwards) who are heading into the midfield. That high forward role has always been such a disciplined position to play, a lot of pressure to put on the opposition. Daniels and Moore are definitely the two that are taking off in that regard.”
Quietly suspected that they might challenge as they didn't rule it out in their statement yesterday.
Will be very interesting to see how they argue the case.
