  1. Thanks 3031. Top post. Absolutely this regarding Langdon. So many times he has broken away into space and been that vital link out of our defence. Probably covers more territory than anyone except maybe Oliver. And EL is always so clean with marking and effective in finding targets. He has been a huge part of our success thus far.
  2. Yea looked unorganised at times. Theres a lot of firepower in that line up and when it clicks will be devastating. Exciting stuff.im loving Frittas work as much as Toms. I feel so bad being so critical of Tmac given that we would have dropped a few games without him. He looks as good as hes ever been. Just dont know how it will pan out when Jacksons ready.
  3. I appreciate Oliver getting a lot of love this week as he was a prime mover in yesterdays win and many others Tmac , Trac Gawn and May and Salem have been major contributors and rightly praised. And Kozzie is the new glamour player. But Ed Langdon has not missed a beat and been a major player in every single game this year. He does so much. I know hes appreciated here but I dont think the media has picked up how vital he has been to our nine wins in a row.
  4. Crumbed one yesterday. Yea he needs to fix his shots on goal but so do Trac and Gawn. Maybe they wont ever be sharp shooters .. doesnt matter. They keep winning games for us. The biggest take on Oliver for me this year is his fitness. He finishes like he could play another game.
  5. Yea so this is what footys like to so many.
  6. Your a better person than me.
  7. Well its Nine Zip. Hard fo fathom as well as the fact that last time we were this good we won....do I dare say it...f.... I cant finish it. Its beyond comprehension. As annoying as Bt was commentating , he was interviewing Dees supporters about their fears and new confidence. It was great to see some older supporters talk about the wait. Ive never seen Dland so happy. Sure theres the usual backhanded comment or doubting of someones footy iq or rediculous changes but on the whole at nine zero we are a happy bunch. So many likes and loves you can tell we are on an upward path. Long may it continue. Ill say it...a flag? Take that Bt.
  8. Not above doing the team thing. Great stuff.
  9. I thought Harmes was better against the Swans than last night but I think he adds a level of hardness in the middle and is playing well. Sam wasnt great but its hard as the fwd structure is trying to work itself out. There were too many trying to mark at times. I dont know if Ill get howled down but could we try Spargo in the middle at times until Jack is back? Hes no Harmes but in terms of ball winning hes like a Libba and his disposal is very clean. And hes not lazy with tackling or chasing.
  10. Yep, so many called for Pettys head after one game. I think Petty was very good so lets give Chandler a chance as well.
  11. Im worried about this game.
  12. I dont even know what this means. I think I need to cut back my drinking. I drank less when we lost for some strange reason. Perhaps it was more familiar territory. And now Im quoting myself. Good Lord. Apologies to all. All this winning is turning everything upside down. Im so confused. Whats happening?
  13. Jolly good effort from that little man.....cant remember his number but I think they call him Spar go. Hes a goer alright, I say what. Yes a jolly good one at that. Be a good lad and pass the cheese platter.
  14. I cant remember when footy was this good. Im sure it was once but this seems the ants pants
  15. No surprise there. Always hard at it and never takes a backward step. Get well soon Jack. A healthy Jv will help us out a great deal.
  16. It certainly seems that way at times. I give credit to carlton today. I thought they tackled and chased very hard. Got a good rub from the maggots and had a few snaps fly through. But we dont look like we are throwing the proverbial sink at teams as yet. There seems to be a strong belief in the boys and one another. Such a different team. Despite appearances we are giving our all. I think we have to accept that as top dog we are being hunted so each week our opponents are playing their absolute best to knock us off. I think this is evident by revved up clubs coming out all fired up and winning the first fifteen minutes. Its the same pattern almost every game Its a different level to other games and takes its toll each week. But we just keep pushing and working and believing and winning. Full credit to the fitness staff. As much as i want to smash a team Ill take four goal wins week after week including the grand final.
  17. Tmac had a Quarter like Hogan did last night. Im starting to remember how good our forward line four years ago was with them both firing. If Bbb..sw or Jackson can do what hogan did we will be awesome. Fritta is coming into his best form and aside from Tmac he would be great isolated up there with lots of space. We looked quite crowded up fwd at times today and Sw was okay but I think on todays showing will get pushed aside for Lj. Great job by our smalls today. I think our fwd line is suited to dry conditions.
  18. A great job. Oliver..pinnacle of fitness. Gus...very much improved.
  19. Im really thinking we trial Spargo in the middle. His tackling is awesome. Hes small and will get under packs as well as frees for high tackles. He works very hard. His disposal is quick and accurate by hand and foot . For his size hes a fast runner. Hes very fit. Hes tough and brave. Gives his all. I think he might be a better option than Kozzie. Harmes was good last week but hes more a tagger and tackler than a ball getter and mover. Just wondering. Certainly missing Jv.
  20. Fair point Garbo but if we fix this then it wont be long befire we see that fifteen goal win.?
  21. Rough to drop Chandler after one game but wouldnt mind Sparrow getting some time.
  22. Wow. Watched the show on seven after the footy. What a tough bloke. Well done for fighting for justice. Makes you really wonder whats going on with some people who will let the media tell them what to say. Sorry its a powerful story and I neeeded to vent. Anyone battling mental health demons.. hang in there. You are stronger than you think.
  23. Deever thinks you have been hanging around the Donald but Hibberd is a champion.
  24. Me too but fixing the cenre clearances needs to fixed. Get well soon Viney.
