Our sneak up from behind them when they least expect it plan has been uncovered by our own stupid superiority.

The football world will be looking at us in a big way now. How do we deal with this?

I dont know h, I guess we dust off the cover of the 2000 manual....

Don't worry too much Harcourt... most of the general public will use Brown's fitness as an excuse for the Lions performance. Anyone who watched the game and has half a clue about footy know better... that rules most of the media out.

We simply say " Bring It On" & step up to the next challenge

Anybody like to explain how we fit in the following players

Bail - Jurrah - Morton - Rivers - Watts - Wonna - Gysberts - Tapscott - Gawn - Strauss - Blease

Ahhhh What a problem to have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would consider Jurrah and Morton walk-up starters, Bail and Rivers on the cusp of selection, Wonaeamirri only match-fitness away from the cusp, and everyone else miles from being in the team.

we have won round 5. talk of a premiership already? reality check needed. when we are winning games regularly interstate then get a little excited.

Not sure I'm talking premierships just yet but we are no longer considered easy beats. Some of our players will be looked at very closely and we need to be able to deal with this.

They can look at whoever they like and it will happin in time but we don't have any single standouts we are playing a great team game and when some players are down others are standing up!

comes with the territory. our team just needs to concentrate on improvement in all areas. still a lot of work to be done. still plenty of errors. promising signs though.

I think it would be fair to say that, while we will cop some losses along the track, we shouldn't fear any teams in the comp. They might beat us but if we play like today they will have to earn it.

Harcourt - you're right... seems it may be a little while before the media is looking at our players as carefully as they do others. I'm not going to complain.

But if Chippa keeps player like he did tonight, I don't think it will be long before they start getting his name right... even in the Herald Sun!

I'd try the '64 manual personally.

Well i hope its neither 64 or 2000 and the reason is simple

We were nowhere near the best team in either season

Prefer 1955 with the same future ;)

I saw Rivers today, he was brilliant. I think he is an outstanding talent down back, and Garland can play very effectively forward. IMO that change would very considerably improve the team. Having said that, they are going along very very nicely....

I don't recall Garland being effective up forward, but I do consider him in the top two defenders at the club. I love Jared, but he's just going to have to wait his turn. As long as he keeps working hard and apparently dominating, he'll eventually get a recall.

Yeah agree with those saying that a lot of the guys out of the side at the moment may well have to wait for their chance. Morton is straight back in obviously, as is Jurrah but that is a few months away yet, and the rest will really have to earn their spots. Guys like Bartram and Bennell will be the obvious ones under the spotlight but they are doing their roles at this point anyway. Bartram's tackling was outstanding last night.

The same article has a goal to Aaron Davies.

I think Bennell has been outstanding in the last couple of games and I apologise (again) for giving him a hard time after the Collingwood match. He has so much zip, is a good mark and is really growing in confidence. I loved him copping it from the Brisbane player (McGrath?) early in the match about dodging contests. Bennell was just brilliant and I hope he sought out McGrath at the end of the match for a little chat about the scoreboard!

Couldn't agree more. This might be stating the obvious, but the way the team is perfoming at present they will be more than competitive against any team in the competion. Bring on the Cats, that will be the true test.

McGrath's a scrag. I wish someone had given it to him when he screwed up in the goalsquare in the fourth quarter which led to Davey's goal.

As for Bennell, I was really impressed with him yesterday, as I have been ever since he moved forward. He's doing a good job.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
