Glad you loved everyone this week ! I certainly did.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,826]

Disagree on Grimes, always gives his all but he was a liability at times today. Otherwise, pretty much spot on. You can bet your bottom dollar that every game we win under Roos will have everyone playing their part. A gun coach.

One bad clanger does not make him a liability.

Dom Tyson - A budding superstar

One bad clanger does not make him a liability.

There was more than one.

I thought Salem struggled a bit in his first full game today. Eight possessions, He got caught twice in tackles when I thought he would sense the player coming behind him. Got pinged on the second one which was appalling umpiring but I expected him to slip that tackle. Anyway early days, probably struggling for fitness levels at this stage.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,054]

Grimes should not be taking kickouts, nor should he be used as a short target when someone else takes one. His kicking just isn't suited to that situation. He seems to be better in general play than he is with those spot kicks.

Got pinged twice, incorrect call on both occasions. I think he may have run over that Umpire's cat.

My main point was I thought he would be able to slip both tackles but he kept running in a straight line and got caught.

No duds today!

[Maldonboy38 6,403]

No duds today!

Bitter, this is the difference. We have had some players this year to have shockers, but in the main we are producing an even spread of team football across the 22.

you don't give roos much credit do you

look at the 'duds' he's already turned around

Not sure why you bother.

Writing toumpas off after a bit over season, McDonald just 21, jones in his second season, Terlich in his second full season.

Amazing.....

some peeps are getting a bit carried away

we were very, very lucky to win today

and our opponent wasn't much chop at all

a lot of our blokes did not have a great day

obviously I'm rapt we still got up and it's another 4 points but sheesh we didn't climb everest today, let's keep it in our pants shall we

and never forget the false dawn of 2010/11

ok had to say it.. as you were

[picket fence 17,172]

10 Rounds, what about the last 50 years ?? I'll give you the fact that yes, some duds have been very very good .. But after 50 years how's your patience,??

I don't think we were lucky today. We deserved to win.

I would suggest some of our players didn't have a great day but here's the thing.... In the past we had a whole lot of players who were poor...actually liabilities. Today Salem was quiet as was bail but neither were poor or a negative to the team just little impact.

I don't think anyone here is saying finals ... Just enjoying the win..

That's my say.
