I feel all warm & fuzzy after that. A really young team who physically dominated a soft, poor Bummers. Too many things that I liked to type them all out, so 5 game points:

The love between the players and coaches after the siren.

Our gameplan with Max out. All hail the Lord Goodwin!

All our young boys. Wow.

Our back 6. 

Langdon & Windsor. Elite wing positional play and they annihilated much bigger opponents.

Yep.. horrible call. It’s decisions like that that really make me think the umpires have been given a direction to help the opposing team make a comeback. 

It was unbelievably obvious tonight, just as it was against North a few weeks back.

I don’t care what anyone says. The game is umpired completely different in the last 15 minutes of most games. It might not be intentional, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. It’s glaringly obvious.

My only negative is that they subbed the wrong player off. How Bowey kept playing when AMW was actually playing well is beyond. 

Bowey is a huge worry for me moving forward alongside Petty and Sparrow.

Judd McVee out marking Lance Whitnall was the highlight for me on too of many others of course.  Kid is a serious talent. 

That decision puzzled me too DD.

Was there to be lost tonight with no skipper and wet weather 

Signs look ominous too in the beginning.

But Mvee, Kozzie and Rivers kept us in it.

Great second half from Anb, Fritta and Oliver.

Jvr goalless but good effort at ruck.

Turner and Milk strong fwds.

Umps didn't help but it didn't fluster us.

Ran out of puff again but we did well in the first five of the last so it didn't matter.

Shame about the last 10 minutes, it ruined what was otherwise a really strong four quarter performance.

 

Ruined? Those [censored] were already pumping themselves up for being second on the ladder and we rolled them without our 2 best players, just enjoy it!

Sweet win.

Lost the clearances.

Lost the tackle count.

Kick count

Hit outs 

Marks

Handball count

Free kicks

Inside 50 s too

But a sweet sweet sweet win.

Oliver and Anb really stood tall in the second half.

Shout out to Disco as well.

Kozzie nice 100.

Think you’ll find we smacked them in the clearances 😏

Petty was a warrior tonight, absolute Herculean effort.

DT and absolute dead eye dick.

We look so much better with Salo in the back 6 along with Tmac, Rick, Maysie, Juddy and Bowser.

OK I'm in london & just saw the scores. Oh my god I'm so happy.

How did we win this?

How did we go in the ruck?

Maybe we need to trust goody and his plans.

Go dees. What a weekend,  pies lose and so do the bummers

For the last two games, the players - particularly the enthusiasm of the newbies  - find ways to look out for each other and make something resembling a machine to play decent footy as a team. Just like what happened after half-time in our grand final win, a few seasons ago.

So proud of the group for tonight.

Had to beat the umpires, the commentators on Essendon the whole night, the media writing us off the whole week, no max no tracc.

(Aside from the last 7 minutes that definitely got the heart rate going) in tough conditions, the will to keep cracking in at the contest made me just so unbelievably proud.

I thought that was the best game I’ve seen McKay play. He really set them up well behind the ball. 

So he should. Rumored to be on $1.5mill per year

    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
