I am now about to enjoy a beer. It nearly made me cry.

Stuff the beer I am into the premium red right now! 

We just refused to lie down against a team that play a style we really struggle with. Hannan and Melk in particular were vital ins.

Melk brought his milkshakes

Yes. Another one that could have really made a difference against the Swans. Was missed.

Let's hope we can get Viney (at least) back in for the finals.

Hibberd early was incredible too - seems he carried a sore hamstring through the second half. Let’s hope he’s OK. 

While Jones had an ordinary first half, he was in the contests when it counted and found the right spots

Had some crucial touches last Qtr and found some targets 

Deserves a lot of credit !

Solid win. We just stuck to our structures, worked as a team, maintained our composure and played our roles to get the four points. One week at at time.

?

I felt a bit gooey in my stomach when we got up 17.

I'm reserving tears for if we win a flag.

Does anyone have any predictions as to who we might face in the finals if we win/loose?

Where you at @Ethan Tremblay and @McQueen?

Just booing the eagles members out of the ground. Deciding where to from here now. 

Just booked a new tatt.

 

Melksham was amazing, kent had good forward half pressure, Weids was great in the contests, Hibberd was at his best, Hannan always looked dangerous.

great inclusions. thankyou goodwin, thankyou Melbourne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know his first half performance was very average at best, but Dean Kent had a terrific second half.  Kicked a crucial goal, laid 6 tackles and just got himself involved.  Another one who could be crucial to how long we stay in the season and, like Hannan who was awesome, justified his selection in the side.

If port flogs bombers and get GWSd we can miss finals. Am I wrong ?

Btw - I'm not sure i said how happy I was with the 5 changes in the side today!! ?

We've either beaten or come close to beating the majority of teams in the top 8.  Should provide a lot of confidence in the finals.  What a difference a win makes.

And all the better to do it against them in the West. 

Great job boys yippee, yippee etc etc (I’m off to have a large beet)!

First ever post. Born 64 and grew up going to the G with the old man and brothers leaving at three quarter time during the stock standard flogging when he would say,  "may as well get out of the carpark while we can boys!".   This makes me happy!
