POSTGAME: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn

[Dame Gaga 2,453]

The Weid has sprouted.

[Sir Why You Little 37,373]

Over to you Liam Pickering 

what an absolute [censored]

[Demongirl35 1,122]

How good was that!

gawn and Trac wow wow wow!

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,609]

Another 4 qtr game!? What's happened? It's almost like we've worked out that it's easier to play for the whole game! You almost don't need a gameplan haha (almost).

Trac and Maxxy were magnificent. A+++

Jackson, awesome stuff - so much potential. The extra height around the ground is precious.

Weid did exactly what we want from him. More, please! 

It's crazy how our forwards can kick goals when the ball is actually delivered to them!? 

Better, so much better. Always a heartwarming feeling to pump the Hawks. The lions will be a real test of where we're at. Would be great to continue this upward trend.

Go Dees, finally something to be pleased with amidst all the other mess.

LOVE YOU DEES.

[titan_uranus 25,212]

First time we've won all four quarters since Round 23 2018 vs GWS.

[rolling fog 1,208]

A Dees win and a Carlton loss after the siren - couldn't be happier!

[binman 44,744]

Just a win.

[Grr-owl 1,258]

So good to see the team put in a performance that we can’t really complain about. Sure, there was some poor play, but it didn’t define the game. Keep up this kind of footy and the future looks bright.

Petracca has developed TIME, he has soo much time

In the last quarter I saw three Hawthorn players too scared to go near him when he kicked that ball.

[chook fowler 19,752]

I think TMacs eye may be sore for another week. Jackson’s not going anywhere.

[danielE288 780]

We're back baby. 

[Stevienic23 1,183]

Don't know if we beat much today but a 7 goal win is a 7 goal win. Midfield group was huge. Pressure - especially forward 50 was huge. Only negatives - Brayshaw and VandenBerg should be designated non-kickers

Blues losing was actually really good for us. Port are a lock for finals. Blues competing with us for a spot.

[Tom Dyson 1,635]

Can someone shut down that weightman is better than kozzy thread ASAP.

Everytime kossy gets his hands on the ball i wet myself. He offers so much more than weightman, i'm really glad we picked him up. 

The great legacy of the 36 lives on!!!

[P-man 13,367]

Positives everywhere, especially in the middle of the ground where we were dominant.

But for the first time in a long time, we look dangerous in the forward 50. Owed in no small part to Weideman flying at everything and bringing the ball to ground with Pickett looking dangerous whenever he gets within 10 metres of the drop of the ball. Jackson is going to be a ten year plus player. And a bloke called Harley Bennell is looking like a god send.

Many on here have been calling out forever to fix up the forwardline. On today’s evidence we have taken big strides towards doing just that.

Reward for effort. Of which there was bucketloads.

We’re back baby.

[Demon Jack 7,155]

Its honestly mystifying that it took until last week for the coaches to play Weideman. Our structure looks so much better with him crashing packs and clunking marks. Great to see him get on the end of a few goals. Probably should've finished with five. 

Also....Luke Jackson: 14 touches, three marks (two contested), three tackles and a goal in just his second game. Early days, but Action Jackson looks super impressive.

Weid has captured some 2018 year form.   Jackson has the goods and is going to be a fine player for us.

Just wanted to highlight this - while he will have some quiet games over the coming weeks, I think we got a real glimpse today of why we drafted Jackson at three.  He did it all - good skills, took some key marks, and even laid some really important tackles.  He has got plenty of strings in his bow and I'm excited to see him develop.

[Crompton's the man 660]

Maybe we’ll keep this coach for a bit longer 

[Dee Zephyr 19,294]

Brilliant team effort. The pressure in the first half was off the chart i thought. A quarter of our total tackle count came inside our forward 50. 

We head to the sunshine state with some confidence now. Can’t wait for next week, Weid building nicely and a date with Andrews ( best full back imo) awaits.

Really pleased with OMac and Weed - both had question marks against them but have been great.

Omac is actually a really dependable kick. He’s starting to grow on me. 

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Great win, so many good signs.

Hope those of you still in Vic (assuming most) enjoyed it.

Cant wait to get to the game at Metricon next week.

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

@picket fence   Still want Brown and Joel Smith in the team ahead of LJ?  :)

Just busting your balls, enjoy the win

Tommy had better hope that May or Lever get injured.
