18.11 on the windiest of windy days

Unbelievable, snaps from pockets and all.

A poster mentioned we'd kick 16.5 today he was pretty much bang on the money!

After a poor first half much better second half and some positives

Like the fwd structure of JVR, Jeffo, Melk and Fritsch. Fritsch workrate and team first today good to see makes the team better

Clarrie showed some of his clean quick hands around the stoppages. Trac ran the game out well but his kicking is a worry.

Jeffo leading patterns are good and he halved several contests, must persevere with him and JVR.

Langford is a very good player both Kolt and Windsor having poor years but like Bowey get good pre seasons behind them and see them improve.

Great performance by Tmac, Lever probably makes way for May or Petty down back.

A win with little impact from Kossie another positive

The same maggot had let three if not four hits go not picked up. His fault as well as the intellectual giant in the ruck against Max.

They are a joke and have caused a serious concussion injury to a player.

Great crowd

They said he was finished

They said he should be dropped

Salem 450m gained 6 inside 50’s

7 score involvements

Probably will cost Xerri all Australian. Diddums.

The accuracy was pretty good today, in conditions where you wouldn't expect it. Fritta, Chin and Melk all clinical in front of goal. Imagine if that could happen more often?

He needs to back it up next week.

@dazzledavey36 hope your young fella enjoyed his first trip to the G today

Jefferson showed some great forward craft for a young player, if he can put on a few kgs and convert more of his opportunities I really think there's a player there

Seems a very poor kick and still lacks intensity I’m not sure more size will help at fixing that

It's a big call but if Jeffo can become our next Milkshake then there is hope.

Great game from Tmac today. Should never have been dropped.

Kicked probably our highest score and even though it was just Nth, our fwd line is better without Petty.

Great work from Max too.

He was definitely one of our best and surprised he hasn’t featured in the votes on the votes thread.

He hit some beautiful kicks inside 50

If you thought he lacked intensity you didn't watch his second half.

Yep that was a long time in the making those umpires are just as culpable in what happened

It was a round house closed fist punch to the head which has sent sparrow straight to hospital, I think it IS that bad actually.

Today showed us all why Gawn >>>> Xerri every day of the week. Laughable to discuss them in the same breath.

Hope he gets a nice holiday for that swinging arm. [censored].

Credit to Fritta and Salem, both played very well. Really good to see Jeffo compete so strongly. Langford also brilliant.

Nice to win again.

Staggered that we can’t find a place for TMac in the side. There has to be a role.

Sign Melksham for another three.

Fair analysis but let’s not get too excited. We were playing one of the weakest teams in the competition. We are still 13 th and only won 7 out of the last 23 matches. This was a reasonably good performance (at least in the second half) , but nothing more than you’d expect against the Roos. How expectations have changed , from winning Premierships and winning ten games in a row; to being delighted about winning a game ( after multiple losses in a row ) to a cellar dweller. I don’t think you can take much out of this July dead rubber. At best we can hope some players get some confidence and play themselves into some form. However, it doesn’t indicate we have any solution for the deeper personnel and structural problems within the Club.

The coach is absolutely clueless.

I'm not sure if it's because I haven't seen us play live but I really enjoyed the game today.

Maybe because we kicked straight, melksham put on a show & we put the foot on the pedal & won well.

I missed the game on account of this weekend I ceased being the littlest Goffy.

(Heart explodes)

So I am just going on stats and a quick browse of match feeds and the like, but here's my impressions ready to be endorsed or correct;

Max Gawn continues to be Max Gawn.

Jake Melksham has kicked FOURTEEN goals in three weeks! For real?

Bailey Fritsch had his best and most versatile game of this season and possibly last season as well.

Jefferson made a meaningful contribution and Van Rooyen was involved a lot.

"A Harvey Langford type player"

Oh, yeah, as my brother pointed out, littlest Goffy has a 100% win rate.

Bloody love Melksham. And he’s so great to listen to when interviewed also.

Harves is a special talent, that kid could win a Brownlow someday, what a player.
