The 4 points should go to May. A deadset one man fortress.

(But to be fair, Salem, Trac, Rivers, Langdon, Lever and Weed were also great ).

A lot of passengers, though. Which is disappointing, but also kind of promising - imagine who we can beat if they get involved!

 

The back line as a whole did a magnificent job.

Surley even u can enjoy this one @Clint Bizkit

Very happy, just a strange game and not used to seeing us win like that.

[titan_uranus 25,020]

The backline was incredible. We got shown up by the Dogs last week in terms of defending the width of the ground but we clearly lifted today. 

May should get 3 Brownlow votes. Lever and Hibberd weren't far behind. Rivers played well too.

Steven May trade is a massive, massive win

Rivers looks very good too

We've got a real player there in Rivers.  Love his dash and courage, and he is a good user of the footy as well.

[Dame Gaga 2,453]

Trac - love love love ? All hail the chief of the back line Steven May. So good to beat St.Kilda ?Happy happy joy joy.

Don't want to hear another word about the trade for May, i think his performances over the season and especially tonight have justified the pick 6.

A trade special.

And, if you go back and take a look, some shockers in the changes thread as well.

That was a big tick for Goodwin tonight.

Charlie Spargo, did little all game then laid the tackle of the match

It was nerve racking but geeze we sure looked composed in the last 5 minutes 

[Moonshadow 17,676]

May was huge... Ben Hur huge

Yes i 100% agree.

Was impressive to be able to stop Aints scoring and actually rebound and control the game.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Rivers should play rest of the season & Wagons was a solid contributer down back. May BOG by the length of the straight.

Lucky I went to the bottle shop and stocked up today.   Ugly game,  take the win,  turnover still a massive issue

SING

 

[Purple77 1,001]

Words can't do the justice of Truck's last goal. 

Absolute freak. 

[ICU2 Jerry Jerry 257]

First time under Goodwin that we executed a specific gameplan for a specific side. Some horrendous turnovers as we tried to implement a possession game with our skill set, however that was a confidence builder. Reminded me of what Geelong did to us. Denied the oppo their 1 wood first and foremost

Yep

Cut off the speed with a slow team

[spalding 1,128]

Big step - when was the last time we reversed the momentum and got the game back on our terms and won an arm wrestle? Probably 15 years. 

i thought we were going lose by 5 goals about 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter. 

[nosoupforme 3,085]

Tough game to  watch in the last quarter however the Dees  did it for all of us supporters.

May and Petracca  were the two best players on the ground and couldn't split them. 

I want to give some credit to Josh Wagner he was consistent all night and he can hold his head high. Well done Josh.

[binman 43,138]

Credit where it us due. That is 3 close games we have prevailed in - blues, suns and saints.
