Where are all the peanuts calling for Goodwin to get sacked?

Looking for all the shells to crawl back into.

Langdon is a very very good player and is a great pickup. Kicked 2 goals as well one from a snap from 35 out and a set shot from 45 that went straight through . Nothing wrong with his kicking for goal.

Well done Dees this has been our best win for the year. Well done Goody you deserve a big mention you have the guy enjoying their fooball and are starting to believe again. 3 big wins in the last 3 game keep bringing it on Dees! .

Great to see him hit the scoreboard, hes good enough to do that regularly.

And the umps lost again! Keeping their perfect streak unbroken!

[Uncle Fester 2,848]

We did some retarded thing but god we looked good when we got it right

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,775]

We've beaten three depleted teams in a row

Granted, we won and won well as we should have - which is better than losing

But let's wait until we replicate this a few times against better sides before we get carried away

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

He may not be amongst the best but Melksham deserves praise tonight.

Blanketed their dangerous playmaker Maynard who's been in ripping form and kicked a few goals. Very effective tonight.

That is an amazing  assessment of his game tonight. Knocking out Mihocek had nothing to do with his game tonight, other than it was a typical, hard VDB attempt to get the ball.

See above. Ordinary comment Nev.

Ok, so you rate his game tonight for his 50% efficiency and 0 tackles then?

I am stunned he didn’t have a tackle, I am sure I saw him tackling. Will have to watch again and keep an eye on him. I didn’t think his disposal was 50% either but maybe I was just excited with the win and his possessions. I am not saying he is a star but rather what I said earlier, that on a wet day I would rather  have him over Hannan.

[Jaded No More 68,903]

Love our percentage. Been a while since it hasn’t been trash. Could come in handy. 

[danielE288 779]

I have nothing of value to add here but gee that was great at times.

4. GO DEMONS

Gotta feel for Mihocek, ran back with the flight of the ball and of all the players that could have been coming at him it was the runaway train Vandenberg.

Fair enough mate, can absolutely see where you're coming from there. Turned out Hannan was sick and not dropped in the end anyway.

I love vB's intensity and agro, so don't think I don't like him as a player, I'd just like him to tidy up those costly errors.

Anyways, just rapt with the win, and probably equally as rapt with the delivery inside 50!

[Cassiew 1,903]

Beating Collingwood. The next best thing to winning the flag

That forward 50 delivery has turned around in the last few weeks and is absolutely helping our scoring.

Given we gave the cats a run for their money and could have just as easily pinched the Lions game, Im starting to think maybe the port game was the odd game out.

Surely despite cwoods outs we did the business and have asserted our right in the 8.

100%. Goody has done a great job there it seems. Plus, seeing players like Viney and Oliver going from rated as close to the worst for forward delivery to now hitting up targets makes me very excited about what we could potentially do.

[pinkshark 950]

What a cracker of a performance.  Smashed them.

I had him in my best. Kicked a couple, tagged Maynard out of it and more than 400 metres gained. Was close to most effective player on ground.

[Grapeviney 9,717]

That was damn near perfect. 

Dominated early and got the score on the board before the rain came, and answered quickly every time they goaled. 

In a season of sometimes turgid footy, that was as watchable as it gets.
