ANB out for Salem is the easiest decision in the world.

One of either Harmes or Tyson for Viney.

I liked Harmes game today

Agree

But, my god, how strong are his hands?

He'll get his compass aligned soon

He was a tad underdone today i reckon. Still a good game. Kicking ...hmm

If it was either Harmes or Tyson...sorry ...Harmes out.

Tyson is infuriating at times...but his games are invariably misunderstood...imho

Just 4 points off 3rd spot on the ladder.

(and 22%)

Gawn kicks that goal and we're 5th and Cats are 11th. Sliding doors

Don't go there good Dr ??

Well it was finally nice to see us win live. 

Look in that final quarter I think we got dragged down to the saints level, but i will take that win every day of the week. There were many good things. Hogan was sensational, Gawn just did what he does, the saints players tried to rough him up before the bounce and all that happened was he won the tap and put it straight down to Jones I think, so that backfired, Oliver was fantastic but I wish he'd kick more. 

It is so good to see Brayshaw going back into packs, just diving in for the ball with confidence. Yes he fumbled at times but he was great today. Jetta was just awesome. 

anyway at times we over handballed, missed easy tackles and at times today our tall fowards went up at once and I think we need Jeff back just to crumb it or put on some defensive pressure. But we did some great things and hopefully next week we have another great win. 

Oh and I don't think Etihad is our bogey ground anymore.

Didn't see a certain game we lost by 186?

The 1988 grannie is the winner of the worst game for the last 60 yrs.

This afternoon was as far away from a bad game as you will see.

Trying to work out who will make way for Captain Courageous next week.  Thought we had a good even team effort this week.

Wise even my missus who really doesn't understand the footy that well could see we Were stuffed in the last quarter. Too much negativity on here.

Yep spot on. We were running on fumes. I wonder if we have put in a big training block with a view to tapering and peaking come finals time as we have struggled to run out a few games now. 

The way footy is played ATM it is going to be a very long season. Th fittest side might well win this years's flag.

Yes, but ANB for Salem or Viney? isn't Viney due back next week? Who would you choose, I feel that Viney scares opposition players (i really like that) even if Salem is a better kick and has some mongrel of his own.

I love Viney, but think he should play 3/4 of a game at Casey before returning

Although it has a bit to do with the recent opposition, our entries into the forward line have improved. Lowering the eyes and not just bombing it in. 

Finally watching it on replay. almost 3/4 time. Willing to admit i was wrong about OMac. i like him now. he does some seriously good things. i might be slow on the omac train but I definitely am there now.

You rare rare kindred fellow. 

Won't happen.. should

Must applaud  Goodwins coaching. His use of Hogan and TMac on the wing and up forward has been a master stroke. I like him putting Fritsch on the wing and he has got the midfield connecting well. I was mad with him after those 2 losses to the toiges  and hawks but all is forgiven.

100% agree.

Interstate game that is more than winnable without his inclusion. Why take the risk.

ANB covers heaps of ground and does great repeat gut running. He just is not a smart user of the footy. I think he has a spot in the team but he has to fix his decision making. 

we still have a few things to work on...

but still great to win the games we should be winning, especially at etihad...

good to notch up wins against the vic teams we should have beaten in years gone by

4 down...9 to go to reach the finals?!?

Hogan could get a week for acting and flopping to the ground.

They are cracking down on this.

Pls.. not to take offence but two points.

1/. More than a few things to work on

2/ The more relevant notion...just 9 to go.

We need to change this view. We need to go out to win EVERYTHING ..not just enough.

Just enough lets fades slip in.. enough lets % go begging... enough lowers standards.

We need to WANT it all...not just enough.

This IS actually a major stumbling block.

I'll be interested to see what happens with this - the umpire was on the right side of the contest and paid a free kick instantly, so he must have hit him high.  He might have played it up a little but I doubt he'll get anything more than a fine for it.

We win a game of footy by close to 7 goals and do it with ease, and this is the garbage our supporters serve up.  You should be embarrassed.

lol a fine at most.

Very happy and relieved with the win.

Yes, it could or should have been more because the Saints are terrible.

But we are a work in progress and there are very positive signs, and a group of players beginning to make their mark. 

Every win no matter how it is attained helps to build confidence and belief.
