Post Match Discussion - Round 12 (never in doubt)

[Young Dee 1,303]

Could someone let me know how Watts was today?

He was good - backed up last weeks effort.

He now seems to go into contests hard and is backing his pace and foot skills (think he has finally turned a corner)

Next step is to be able to float forward and kick goals caus we cant rely on hogan and Garrlett all the time.

There was that one moment where he marked 10m in front and went to play on - almost stuffed it up - should know better then that. (you dont see hawthorn and sydney stuff those up)

Was out all morning (I'm OS), no wifi, no news. Couldn't believe the result. Fabulous.

Don't have the time to hack my way through xx pages of the Gameday thread, but wondering, did anyone promise to leave Demonland if we won?

Just checking.

Yes I believe someone did......

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

It's official. The winning formula requires Dawes = in, Hogan = out.

Excellent. Physical and with usual vision. Chased, tackled, competed. He gets it now. Last 3 games he's a different player.

[chook fowler 19,459]

We actually have a midfield now and some depth in reserve.

Gawn and Spencer feeding them made a huge difference.

It is hard to believe Brayshaw is a first year player - Voss like in his attack on the ball.

[Gorgoroth 12,955]

Very good game. Continued on from last week. Much more engaged in the play.

I thought he was very good, went hard, tackled, chased, did all the things you demands from your players.

Used the ball well.

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

May be unpopular but i don't know if we would have won that if jesse played, we bomb to him way to often, his absence made us lower our eyes

[Sir Why You Little 37,040]

WYL, your earlier rant must have spurred them on.

Lets hope so mate!!

Something sure happened....

Either can we!!

Decent game. 19 disposals and a few important score involvements. If he can bring that every week there can be no complaints.

[jabberwocky 2,301]

Midfield of Gawn, Vince, Jones, Viney, Brayshaw looks capable of winning a lot of footy against most opposition. We have a contested game that we can build a plan around.

On the contrary , knowing we had either Gawn or Spencer ( or Dawes ) competing , we DID bomb it in , and often

Can't believe this.

5 goals last week not good enough?

Anyone else got a list of Geelong supporters to talk to at work tomorrow?

I'm taking tomorrow off the way this Pale Ale's going down.

Cheers everyone.

It IS hard to believe. A very very rare talent. He is a one touch handler with no preferred foot. I particularly love that he lopes like he's stuffed, then BANG!, he's gone and the ball's suddenly in the forward line in a teammates hands. As pure a footballer as I think I've ever seen.

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

Nothing to do with jesse as a player, our entries were quality today, that cant change when he comes back

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

RN - you were so right about Gawn. Apologies, mate.

Not really JB i was just referencing last year's marking efforts and thought 2 games wasn't enough to judge him on that was all. Wasn't expecting such a turnaround this week!

You got your wish though! And then some i think ....

Idgaf who gets picked - I don't want another meek effort against these pricks.

I want them hurt.

Id like to know what happened 3 or 4 weeks ago. Something seems to have clicked, at last.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Agree that the bombs are possibly a little overdone overall SPR but i did see the Jones boy lower his eyes and hit him up on at least 2 occasions last week. Pretty sure the Hulk goaled from both of those lace outs.

[MrMoose 262]

The Replay's starting - now to watch it without all the stress!

[dazzledavey36 54,946]

What a dream come true for these two.

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

I was very pleased with Dunn's game. Best game for over a year. Stuck to Hawkins like a leech. This was back to his AA form at last. A big thumbs up to Gawn and the midfield for three weeks of continuous improvement.

The great tackle i50 on Varcoe against the Pies on QB and the resulting goal HH.

Monkey off the back from then (reversing the gang tackle in opening game against same team 7 years earlier and questionmark over physicality)
