Love your work Joeboy, but is it possible you wrote these at half time..?

Get the feeling DD wants to use more than three words? Nice punctuation effort, particularly the use of the forward slash and some capitalisation, to try to stay within Joeboys format.

 Viney - tagged first half

The longer the game went the better Salem got. His foot skills out of traffic are ay-leet. 

Don't know what you were watching re: Jetta.

He was a rock yesterday.

 

Melksham I think was the only player that really struggled after quarter time. OMac and TMac held up the defense extremely well and were rarely beaten from the 2nd onwards. Salem, Vince and Lewis were the generals across half back that dictated play. Jetta was simply a superb defender all game and didn't make a mistake.

Very impressed by ANB in the second half. I thought one of the best on the ground in the 3rd quarter.

The only one that matters at the moment. When he is decisive he looks good, but he just doesn't do it enough.

but you weren't there, silly boy

you were such a tightar$$ and you got told by many you would be sorry to miss out on a great win

those of us who went had a great day. atmosphere was ggood and electric. quality of game good and fast. but you missed out.........

One can argue about the merits of individual players, but we won the game through the contributions over the match from all players. In short, it was a team effort.

indeed it was ernest. just look at the stats on afl match centre. solid right across the team. in fact should have won by more

At some point the ball will start sticking for Weideman, and we're gonna have a player when that happens.

Yesterday though I found he was pretty unclean, and it hurt on occasion.

Love your work Joe Boy.

Keep on keeping on, after match would not be the same without you.

Etihad, Saints. 4 goals down and won by 5. When was the last time we did that?  Savour  the win. Next hoodoo to broken?  No longer Carlton''s biartch.

Jetta was bloody solid all day, watch the replay and you see it more.

yes 18 matches and 16 have been poor. Constant mistakes causing goals either from turnovers, missed marks, fumbles ... all simple errors. He shows signs but has been fully backed by the coaching hierarchy. He gets the nod by Goodwin unless he cops an injury.
