I thought Xavier Lindsay played an outstanding last half. This kid can play

Friggen Hawthorn game, had them by the nurries and let go of them in the last qtr.

We still didn't kick straight at times but never stopped applying pressure.

Hope the boys can kick on after this performance.

Side note only and it's been said ad nauseam but WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH TRAC'S SET SHOTS???

Always been bad. 50m out on a 45 he can bin them other than that he is a bad [censored] at fish and kick in general. Terrible technique

I think I prefer Fritsch as the sub if we see that sort of effort, was a different player.

What you can't knock is the unity and togetherness the team has

You can feel it. Despite all the media nonsense, Trac loves the boys and the players love the coach

If we stay healthy we could go on a run. I wouldn't want to be playing us right now

That win will give us a super shot of much needed confidence.

Traveling up there against vulture crowd members and dodgy umpires against the flag holders was a supreme effort and will really serve us well.

It also saw a good deal of struggling players find some very good form.

Max ix the gift that keeps giving.

Don't give me stick but I thought he wasn't his best for the first three quarters but I reckon saved the game for us in the last.

The Hallmark of a champion is stepping up despite not being at your best. Putting in behind you and then absolutely starting. They say tall players get taller as the game enters its last quarter and Max certainly stood tall.

I hope Kozzie never leaves this club. He and Bowey probably stood even taller.

Good to see Fritta showing great effort even as a sub. Spargo cops heaps here but while he didn't reign supreme like some, I think it's a credit to him how often he is out in space, miles away from the opposition.

It's interesting our best beats the best. I think mainly because we had a real functioning forward line for the first time this year. Most of that was due to Melksham. As I mentioned previously he gave his opponent a free drink after giving him a bath.

Him playing there in prior games would have us in the eight. Big call but after his showing today a fair one. Speaking of tals, he plays five inches higher then he is. If only we could take his intensity and passion and share it around. He's plenty to spare.

How good was melkshams mark he took over Andrews? Heard it was a good one

Gotta follow up now with the win over the swans. Do that and we're right back in contention for the 8.

Turner could be our best footballer

Finally look fit. Now repeat.

Actually made the call “wish we had two Daniel Turners”… one back and one forward. He was very good today. Very good

Bowey has become elite. What a great game. He missed that target on the wing, otherwise he was superb. Won so many clutch moments.

A game high 10 intercept possessions, 5 score involvements and 1 goal assist at 86% DE.

A+ Bowser! 👏👏👏

Top post AtG. It's clear the shoulder injury had a big impact on him.

Seems well and truly behind him and he shoulders a heck of a lot of the backline duties.

Pound for pound he's one of the best about.

Fritta even laid several tackles. Came on like a steamtrain.

Loved his anger nd mean face when telling the boundary ump off when he didn't give that deliberate out..

His showed some attitude we haven't seen for a while!!

I’ll disagree on Spargo. He cost us multiple goals today and on top of that turned the ball over badly.

When Sharp was subbed, he had more score involvements, more scores, more pressure acts, more meters (Spargo was -03, I didn’t know negative meters gained was a thing), more disposals. Spargo got slightly better but he also can’t kick over 20 meters.

I’m not saying Sharp is the answer but Spargo sure as shizen is not.

Spargo was an extremely important player for us 2021..deserves a chance after nearly 18.months out..

Noticed X wasn’t in the team photo after the game. Any truth to the rumour he went to hospital?

Jake Melksham is my father.

As much as anything, losing Melksham for the 23 finals cost us dear. Not the only factor, but a major one.

Still getting my head around the win. Want to watch the replay but "we have to watch eurovision."

Speaking of things European, loved the round ball practice paying off big time!

Without watching the replay (see above), does Bowey get easy possessions, or does he just make them look easy?

Didn’t seem to be in the song either. Think it’s true

Bowser reads the play brilliantly and makes good clean disposals. 200 gamer IMHO.

Fantastic win tonight. So proud of the boys ❤️💙

Fritta looked like he was playing for his career in that last Quarter

Great to see
