leave it to deever

Ouch.

Fair dinkum. There were 3 blatant holding the ball non calls made. On each of those occasions the Pies player had the ball for an eternity. If the umpires really want to stop dangerous tackles then these htbs should be called to avoid the chance of a player finally slinging someone out of frustration.

Just watched the replay. That was like a final. Hopefully a precursor of what's to come.

Best game of the year. 11 tackles fgs. Even better. ....His speech about Neale rather than himself on winning the medal.

Great post Layzie. The Pies fans booing Grundy at every turn and clapping his missed goal truly shows why their called the filth. Its my understanding the poor bloke wanted to stay at cfc . J7st strange. That and big Cox having a crack at Trac after the siren makes this win just so sweet. And yes Jack stood tall big time and played his best one of the year. Happy birthday for tomorrow.

I think poor Tom's body is just letting him down. Petty was fantastic in his last game up forward so hopefully he comes back to the role. Especially since Tommo is playing like he is. Smith was good in the 2nd half. I like his speed and athleticism. Brings a defenders skills and pressure into our forward line. Hopefully Bbb to can play into some good form, so we will have a number of options. Jvr continues to show some great consistency and is getting better each game.

Anb had a very quiet first half. Hardly involved except for his tackle count which is always high. Tbh I think he's had a lacklustre season for him. He certainly rallied in the second. I dont think Anb is a great footballer but I reckon he gives his absolute all every game and never question his passion and commitment. Nice running to connect with Kozzies kick and good conversion against a trend of shockers.

Always a very tough gig down at Kardinia. Buoyed by a big win and new confidence, we are certainly a chance. Hopefully Oliver and Bowser back but not sure who comes out for the latter. Tommo must stay and I think Smith gets another go on his 2nd half efforts. Normal conditions would suggest Kozzie or Spargo gets dropped. Pickett however is a superstar so he stays. He's bound to play a blinder soon. Just hasn't been the same since suspended for some reason. Perhaps we just text all the cats players a nice pic of Maxy during the week. I hope the umpiring improves. The htb non decisions yesterday were a very poor effort. The dangerous tackle call was strange. It's comical after a whistle call to see confused players see which way the call will go lately. Great to have Oliver back. Who comes out is a tough call. Will be tough for Bowser to come back in after such a great win.

Passage of play at the around the 10 m mark in the last, where a running Mcvee and Viney combine in the middle to Jvr who marks and goals was superb . Critical play and goal.

Ironically Bowser was back to his best in his last game when concussed.

Bt was no better.

Our backline was fantastic. May had a few fumbles but took some great marks. Salem, Mcvee and Tommo were great. Bowey to comeback for....I don't know. If Tommo can keep that up, Petty back forward is easy. Viney has had some patchy form of late nut played an absolute blinder with over 30 possies and ELEVEN tackles. There is room for improvement with Kozzie, Spargo and Chandler. Smith showed some wonderful patches of footy in the 2nd half too. Jvr didn't dominate but played his heart out and always made a contest. Will be a star imho. Put aside our slow first 11 minutes and our errant goal shots, some inexperienced umpiring and we smashed the so called number one team in the comp. A huge win

Salo was supreme yesterday. He's missed a lot of footy and I think a lot of us forgot how important he is.

How nice to have a replay to be excited about watching.

Could Salo play midfield?

What happened? We pantsed the filth after they jumped us in the first 10 minutes. Take away the dodgy umpiring and our poor shots on goal and we won by 6 goals. But I'll sure take any win over the Pies. Salem back to his best makes a big difference.

I thought this was hard on Trac.

Yep, some great signs there. No Oliver, Bowser or Petty. No matter.

I liked others sticking up for Trac. Poor Mason...you lost. Deal with it.

This was such a big win. We looked shaky after struggling against the Suns. Then losing to Port ..ok ...they are a good side. Our loss to Freo really worried me and I thought we would struggle to make top FOUR. We have taken no real scalps. Make no mistakes, Pies are a red hot team and firm flag faves. But we put them in their place. We are well and truly back in contention.

Jv had 11 tackles as well as being our biggest gatherer. Best game for the year.

It was the lack of htb calls today that killed me.

Yea but then Pies fans wouldn't have been so traumatised by us crushing their fleeting hope in the last 30 seconds.

Our handy four easy misses won this. Salo has been really missing in this line up. Well done Jv and Mg. Trac was awesome as usual. Tommo a rock. Mcvee keeps getting better. Such a big win.

Hope Uncles Bitters heart is OK.
