Good to practise winning

the big changes are Bugg Kennedy and Oliver. All 3 are ready to go foot to the floor

they give our midfield a completely different energy. 

Great game from Watts

now do it for points now Demons...

A very ordinary first quarter but a much improved performance after that where we rarely lost momentum. Should've been a much bigger margin in the end. The two way running game is starting to really show and defensively we set up very well with most scores conceded from silly turnovers I think it was the best overall performance of the three games which bodes well for Round 1.

T Mac made amends for last week. Jeffrey is a star and forward pressure was top notch. Kennedy a lot better and adds some much needed speed and poise forward of centre. Tyson and Viney solid but still untidy with foot skills. Salem has the tools to be a top 5 player in the league at some point in his career.

With Brayshaw, Vanders, Petracca, Dunn, Lumumba and Trengove to come into the side that played today, we're poised for a good season.

Ignore the commentators/media, they have been out of the game too long and have their own agendas.

Our team has shown a very impressive improvement in getting/moving the ball - now it is time to capitalise on this improvement and refine the required skills and precision of movement.

Be happy - the Dees are on the climb!

 

Three from three is as good as you can get.

The commentators are a few weeks away from looking like fools.

They can say what they like I don't care because we won.

More impressed by this win than the others because the Saints were at full strength and we were undermanned. The opposition obviously wanted to have a crack and didn't hold back. Several players are not yet ready for the firsts and Hoges had a stinker. Great to see that our forward line can function without him dominating thanks to Garlett, Watts, Kent and Kennedy. Clarrie likes a goal also.

Hopefully it's fixed now. 

Understood. I think no web site will be able to withstand the red-and-blue energy that will burst out of the woodwork when we win our next flag ... 

I wrote this somewhere else but we've truly gone from the softest team 5 years ago to one of the hardest and Watts is benefiting. God damn Oliver is Brayshaw repeated. 

It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll.

Temper expectations. Much better to be surprised than to extrapolate. What is clear is a discernable, intentional  application which has every opportunity to evolve.

Garlett is becoming crazy good. Run down tackles (and pressure), freakish goals. NAIS!

Pedo may face a week at least.

It's nice sitting back watching Essenscum being towelled up for afters.

Jones giving it to that Saints player in the 2nd quarter, turning point. 

I got drunk.

Does anybody know how Weideman, Hullett, King 2x went for Casey this weekend?

I don't mean to be a downer, but i think Wagner is still a little way off where he needs to be for AFL level

100%. He along with Hunt are off the pace

Not flash mate.  Casey on the whole were pretty awful.

His first half was very poor, but he found his feet a little more as the game went on.  I think Lumumba will come straight in for Round 1 though.

Reminds me of Harmes last year. I questioned his inclusion after 2 or 3 ordinary games and the the penny dropped..

I thought we were quite ordinary apart from the few obvious standouts. 

This isn't a negative comment, I think it's been a theme of the NAB cup, a lot of teams have looked ordinary but all kicked high scores. When was the last time we did that?

Biggest positive was running it out so easily, I've seen teams struggle this round in the final quarter, we did it as good if not easier than anyone. 

Being in front in the last quarter with the interchange cap is going to be hugely important I feel. 

 

Hogan better sign up now or he'll have to settle for decoy wages supporting Watts. 

What a great night! We won and Methendon are 100 points down... All is well.
