Not sure if it’s been mentioned but my favourite part of today’s game was Trac running straight past $cully to win the ball and then push him away.  Loved it!!!

Moment in time, can't plan those things!

Think playing on the smaller grounds is really going to suit our game style this year.

It must be hurting Saints fans seeing how well he’s playing. We’ve had a few early draft burns but Trac looks to be what we’ve been crying out for.

I have to agree with this.  Are Metricon and the Gabba smaller grounds?

Yes it is. I have sent a text to every single saints supporter in my phone asking how they feel about it.

I'm pretty sure the only ground as big as the MCG is Optus Stadium.

I won't lie - I was pacing in the loungeroom watching halfway through that last quarter - only 7 goals up wasn't a sure thing

But gees I clapped hard all afternoon. LOVED Weid's leading patterns presenting to the ball. We just used the ball so well inside forward 50, it just was beautiful to watch. Lucky I've got Kayo, I'm going to watch it again. Great team win. No passengers.

Thought Frost was one of their best. And I'm ready to adopt Kossie. He's awesome.

All is well at The Manor!!!!

You are still awake Uncle! You were into the Shiraz early in the first half so assumed you would be non compus after that win.

First 4 qtr performance for years. Showed composure when Hawks were coming in the 3rd.

 

This was the big thing for me. Great first half then hawks adjust a few things, come out cracking in the third quarter and kick the first two. And you think here we go again. Normally we lose confidence but we did not panic, didn't lose our shape and ended up winning the quarter. You could see it took the wind out of Hawthorns sails and we had it back on our terms.  it was game over.

Assume Neale is one and he has been the best player in the comp this year by a distance.

Looking forward to Oliver playing on Neale next weekend.

Finally a four quarter effort. 
And the structural changes with a second tall forward and a second true tall defender has completely changed our game. It was a no brainer and I’m glad finally they’ve figured it out. 
Jackson being so mobile actually makes us look better than Tmac because he is good at ground level. I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing him and Weid getting the next 3-4 weeks together to see how things develop. Jackson can also more than hold his own in the ruck which is very important as it allows Gawn more time to play in the defensive half where he dominates. 
Omac has been wonderful the last two weeks and I hope all the haters can finally get over their biased opinions against him.

The best part is Kozzi has no idea what he is going to do next so how can the opposition predict it?!?

So good to have 3 decent tall fwds as we will need to rotate at times with so many 5 day breaks

I think that's what is called 'thinking on your feet'?.

Good win, but we need to back it up. Hawthorn are in a different place to us. We need to beat a team in the 8 before we start thinking we are out of Hell. Its a good start and the game was enjoyable to watch.

Loved it when Viney smashed Omera in a tackle and got the free kick. 
 

Absolutely loved it.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
