the block on dunkley before trac's dribbler would've earned him a premiership medallion if it was the ONLY team thing he did - instead he had 23 pressure acts, and was 'on' right from the start when he stopped footscray getting low pressure exits from d50 due to his constant harassment 

how many second year key forwards have kicked the amount of goals he has and put the sort of pressure on that he's able to exert on a continual basis?

what a draft 2019 was!

Yes, Sparrow gets that goal, because Tom pushed the Dogs player back through the goals, allowing the ball to clear the goal line.

You don't win GF's without selfless acts.

Kossie spooked those dog defenders - coughed it up to Jackson

Good shepherd, but Dunkley was playing for the free with his tumble.

I'm not particularly religious but "if Kossie does shepherd I shall not want"

He’s done this from day one, hits a body every single time he’s near one, I noticed it early and kept watch ever since. I always expect him to give a way a free as some have been a tad late, but as far as I can remember never has. 
Ultimate team player, great awareness, hard position to play but is always involved even if the stats don’t show it. 
He is a ripper. 

Glad this topic was on separate thread

the spargo  goal in 1st q was due to pickett

the bowey kick to brayshaw mark and goal was due to kossie  too , knocked the ball out of dogs weightman hands

Might've been Dunkley's bad shoulder but I reckon Koz has actually moved him sideways a lot. Like uncle Byron he has the sweet sweet timing. You can see he gets it spot on. Dunkley might've gone down more out of shock than looking for the free.

King and Whateley mentioned his off the ball work today. 
And he should have had a shot 20 meters out. So prob should have had a goal to his name.

Internally they will thrilled with his efforts

Uncle Byron says it all really…

Hunted and harried the Dogs defenders all night. Never gave them a second's peace. He didn't have much joy with ball in hand but his defensive work was A-Grade. He's going to be better than Cyril Rioli

Agreed, not a great game but just   little things for TMac and Kozzie, both were involved in this one. Tmac gets the hand on it that deflects it to Petracca when otherwise Duryea would have spoiled it out and then the Kozzie shepherd was gold.

KK had a fairly quiet game by his standards BUT his shepherd, allowing Tracc to kick his 2nd. 
i have only just noticed what he did. 
incredible

Grand Final moment 

That was the goal that broke the Dog

Watch it again. Kozzie opened the door

The more you watch the replays the more you realise his "quiet" game was actually a very good, team oriented game. Evey single player did some hard yards and all are deserving :)

Yep, I was going to bring that up too. TMac and Cordy (I think) were locked hand on shoulder pushing each other. By the time the ball arrived, Tom had just about pushed him to the fence. Great display of strength.

Tmac also involved early in this sequence too. Salem kicks out of defence to a Gawn/Keath contest and the ball goes over them both and Tmac is there for an easy mark. He then kicks it to Brown who can't quite grab it but gets the free for HTB with ~70 seconds left - Brown bombs it in and then the rest is history.

That’s one of those acts known as contributing without the football.

Spot on. Fantastic on-body work on his opponent to allow that Sparrow goal to get over the line. It was brilliant. Noticed by Hodge on the commentary. (Don't get me started on Sparrow - did some great things. Big big future.)

Yep. Great second half in Gf and young.

Lotz to like.

Yes you right 

look beyond the ball…

I noticed the shepherd on the second viewing as well. I also noticed that a few players that looked like they had a quiet game were doing some good work off the ball.
