Good tackle.

Are we sticking to 90 rotations this week? 

 

Too early to pack the defence?

Pretty lacklustre game, but winning form is good form.

 

Biggest concern out of this game is the ankle knack to vandenBerg, the awful form of T Mac and Garland, and our disposal all around the ground.

Ben Ken very selfish there. 

Kennedy evidently not recruited for his kicking skills.

An ugly win but I'll take it,two in a row.

WAS ANYONE ON OUR TEAM?!

2 comebacks in a row....ill take that.

Good finishing in last quarter , better than a loss

When was the last time we finised the pre-season with a winning record? '89.

Any scores- the local pub was unbearable- full of ufc fans,crappy bourbon deals and loathsome fat stupid people- thought I was in  bar in Texas.

2 wins in a row.  It's been a while.

A win against the odds

Take it though

Take the win but still some worrying signs for the season in terms of disposal. But we dropped the equivalent game last year against the Bombers and beat a pretty strong Port last week so I'd say we've improved a little bit. Hopefully the guys are at least building some belief and winning habits.

Two on a row!!!

just saw our supporters behind the goals singin it's a grand old flag. 

Only dees supporters would sing after a practice game. 

God we r success starve supporters.

What? Against the odds? We played a VFL side. 

These are games we would always find ourselves losing last year (Carlton, Essendon, St Kilda). Although it was far from a perfect performance, the fact we fought our way back into the game shows that we're starting to learn how to win against the odds and against teams we should beat. Scrappy win, but I'll take it anyday.

Biggest positive of this game, Clayton Oliver! I remember seeing Wines on debut against us in 2013 and just thinking "Oh [censored]!" Well I think Oliver has been just as impressive as Wines was. Even that last play of the game, most kids would have been pinged for HTB, Oliver gets a kick away.

Bugg was excellent, but unfortunately I remember Kennedy's floaters when he was at Collingwood.

Let's hope vandenBerg's injury isn't serious. Given his history and reaction when coming off, I'm nervous.

Ugly win is win.

A wins a win- looked windy in Crayburn- not to mention hot.

We're you watching. Our disposal was woeful

 Dogs should have seen it up.

Much work to do yet

Not overly impressed... Playing a Bulldogs outfit missing up to 10 of their best 22 and it took us into the 2nd half to run over the top of a bunch of kids that ran out of legs all the while we were missing who ? Hogan & brayshaw from our best side ? 

One huge positive for me is we r running out games really well which is something we haven't done for a loooooonnnnnnnnnggggggg time. 

One thing that really stood out was our fitness.  In both games we've run them out really well and that bodes well for the season ahead.

Oliver, Bugg and Kennedy have all been handy recruits and guys like Vince and Jones will be better for the run.

Our turnovers still kill us and we had 50, yes 50, clangers, but I can't see us doing that when the real stuff begins.
