leave it to deever

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.

Tried all night

Pies have had some chances 😃

This so makes up for the freo loss and then some.

Pies have the yips.

We've got this.

Salo is ELITE.
