and the pressure, the relentless pressure, hounding and hunting ... we hunted them down, a lot of that has to be fitness ...
two games in a row we've worn down and overrun teams

geez, they looked a bit like that tonight, a really outstanding tandem defensive performance
That was really poor.

Melican looked pre hammy of a few years ago…
Good to see Roberts building confidence. Love the length he gets on his kicks.
Loved the fact that whilst the result was amazing it wasn't perfect. There was plenty there to work on.
Numerous times we spoiled teammates, poor shot conversion especially in the first, centre clearances we got pumped.
Despite that we absolutely demolished the pies, should've been 50 point win at least!
Warner and Heeney got the stats but Rowbottom really got the ball rolling and wrestled their early momentum back after their 3 early goals. Gulden was elite by foot as expected, Roberts back to back good showings. He looks a really calm head even in congestion, could make a great long term Lloyd replacement.
No surprise to hear Richo bring up the Academy during the game. You can't just celebrate a team playing well? When was the last time father son was brought up during a Collingwood win? Or go home factor during a Geelong win? Or two faced baloney like Tom Lynch going from the worst team in the comp at the time to the Premiers without a trade ban?

This is going against the grain admittedly
Last year we won games early and it was premiership talk then things went a bit askew. I did not expect to win both games early this season but I'm staying grounded as at three quarter time last week I was wondering which way it would go and we've seen slow starts from premiers before with the later start to pre season.
I want to let myself get carried away but will reserve that just a tad even though I'm loving this start.
Special mention to Melican and Fox at opposing ends two maligned players but contributing significantly so far this yeat and couldn't be happier for them. Plenty of upside still with both as well.
Heeney the ultimate star for a quarter in the past has put together two complete games and must be leading the brownlow no doubt in my mind. That's getting well ahead of myself but looks great and super fit. Even his face shows his lean fitness.
Not sure on this but Hayward being quiet might have been a negative role against Moore. Might be wrong on that but if not that's a great under the radar moment.
Cunningham also gets a mention for continuing solid form

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing but every intercept seemed to lead to him being tackled but able to get the dish off and his pants came down nearly every time exposing his Reg Grundy's.

If you get carried away with what we all know…are you even a bloods supporter!!!! We are all optimistic pessimists.

blakey still did a bit, still covered a lot of ground with his laser kicking
but yes, others stepped up, very much so
florent looked so composed under pressure, roberts too ... and roberts is fearless
and i posted elsewhere ... mcinerney is so tough for someone not really built to be that tough ... and he runs

They could win every game for the season and I'd still expect them not to turn up Grand Final day. I'm damaged in that respect now.

There was also a call early in the game which should have been deliberate rushed behind. Collingwood player had all the time in the world before walking it overUmps getting burned on the Rowbottom/Degoey tackle

Ah the classic swansfan51 yearly prediction 15-17 wins then collapse in finals sadly was true in most seasons lol.
Longmire is like a bubbling child inside.
Yes it was, but especially Tom. "They shall not pass!". Superb game.
