POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs GWS

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,172]

We've been harsh on Goody and the boys and rightly so,  but I'm extremely proud of this effort tonight. Superb. 

Enjoy all!

Baker stood up, May is awesome and after all the negative publicity around him last year I hope the media give him the praise he deserves. A great season. 

Langdon, wow just awesome, his gut running is fantastic. 

A great win and well done melbourne

While he didn't hit the scoreboard, I thought Mitch Brown was good for us tonight.  13 touches and 7 marks and he got up the ground to give us a target as well.  His experience was on full display throughout this game.

Makes the decision to drop him last week for Preuss look even worse than it already did.

Great observation I thought the same.

Agreed. Looked good down back when he was there too. Cool head. Underrated player imho.

We won a tight contested game that mattered. That is a good result.

We play essendon next week.

Hope that gold coast can beat the filth.

Let’s hope that we don’t do the Melbournian thing next week.

Pity the little b got up though. Would have been Melksham’s best moment for weeks.

Another relaxing night in front of the tv. Neighborhood cats have headed for the hills and police attending disturbance

All I can say is this .......Rivers!!!!!!

[dazzledavey36 50,026]

A great win indeed.

But job is not done. Glad the players didn't over celebrate. Job is not done, as we need a few things to go our way.

On a personal note, I'm very proud of Charlie Spargo. Kid (yes he is only 20 years of age) cops it more then any other player on our list, and to see him play a significant role in tonight's win kudos to his extreme hard work off field.

[At the break of Gawn 3,918]

Those last 30 seconds took an eternity. 
 

Go Hawks

Go Suns

Go Giants (big win please)

Go Freo

Go Port

Go Dees!

Bakers disposal has been underrated by many

He's one of the few forwards we have with actual 'football sense'. A few good tap on, that kick he managed to hoik back to the goal sqaure. Happy with his performance.

That's what we all would like to know?

No voice left..took a second mortgage out for countless drinks at the Gabba. So stoked we got up. 

Rivers you star!

No I'm with you here. 

His work rate was immense, and gave us a good target, especially in the 3rd quarter.

Only in hindsight.

Brown was poor against Swans, and has been mediocre all year. Still, hope he can back it up against his old club, hard to see him getting dropped on that performance.

Or a GCS win would be almost as good. Pies have Port in the last round. Both would be ideal!

This!! If we could sneak in at Collingwood’s expense...

Bizarre that we were playing a crippled TMac for so long ahead of him. Truly some odd team selections this year

It beggars belief that with a wet windy day in Cairns forecast, we dropped him for Preuss to play Preuss as a forward last week.

If you want to reduce the season down to one major mistake, that maybe is it.

Rubbish. Hindsight just confirmed how bad of a decision it was.

In what world is Preuss a forward? Particularly given the weather conditions we knew was coming (we picked the side 24 hours beforehand). Brown mightn't have been amazing against St Kilda, but he wasn't terrible either.

Any chance of the Hawks pulling off a hail Mary tomorrow?

Can’t see it happening but who knows. I’ll be going for them for the first time ever.

I really did not see that coming.

Lever made mistakes early but he and May in the final quarter were huge.

Rivers is a gem.

Spargo certainly did his job. Pickett much improved. Baker gave us a second wing.

Keeps hope alive for one more week at least. And was a great game to boot.

Have to say i was super critical of Lever  and i stand by it, but he had a terrific last qtr. Good on him.
