Great to see that Roosy was down in the rooms after the game as well. While this was very much a Goodwin victory, he would have watched on like a proud father as he watches what he planted begin to grow in front of his very eyes.

Who do I support tonight? I hate both teams with a passion. I think I hate the Bummer supporters cheering drug cheats more, though, so I think I'll end up hoping for a Hawthorn win.

Well said, DD. Goodwin showed that he can react to situations like this and he got the boys to stick to their guns and tighten up all over the ground. It paid dividends.

You would have been happy his game, dazzle. Some x-factor and a good user of the ball. Not such a silly comparison now, is it?

True, although we coped okay today and you would imagine that Vince, Lewis and Salem will spend a little more time down there to cover it.

I'll just leave this here: Oliver - 35 possessions, 14 contested, 9 clearances and 8 tackles. What a player.

After quarter time you could argue that we didn't have one bad player on the park. Everyone made a contribution to the victory. To roll the Saints on their home turf like that shows how far we've come as a club. I couldn't be more excited right now and I hope everyone else is, too!

Is it a grand old flag? You freaking bet it is! DEMONS!

He has. It's commendable, if a little embarrassing.

Can't like this post enough, Nash. The wrist slashers were in heaven, what a pity they've gone quiet since quarter time with nothing to complain about.

Riewoldt down injured, this is bloody terrible to see.

NIBBLER!!! Best game for the club by a mile. Deserved that goal. Can the fat lady starting singing... ?

42 point lead. Let me write it again. 42 POINT LEAD! Hogan, you're a star.

Of course you can, but to only comment on one thing like you did when we're in front is lazy.

Trust you to go negative, Clint. Seriously. We're up by 6 goals. Take a good look at yourself.

Said it a few times today, but big 7 minutes coming up. We can't let them back into the game.

They had to get one at some stage I guess. We need to respond well now.

We're in front by 34 points and about to go inside 50 again!

I can't even deal right now. I feel like a 12 year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert.

Bernie! [censored] YES!

Hannan has been... handy! Well done young fella!

A goal there would have been a great way to start the term!

I'm more nervous now than I was at start of the game.

@titan_uranus - no doubt they missed some gettable shots that helped us out, but then we missed a couple in the first term as well so it evens things up. The big change for us was that we started winning the clearances and negating their spare man behind the ball. We weren't just kicking blindly and turning it over, we were hitting targets and getting in over the back. It certainly helps that our experienced heads have been fantastic so far. Lewis has been phenomenal!

What a half of footy! Everything that we needed to improve on from the first quarter we did in the second. 7 goals to 1, some great running footy, so cool heads under pressure and much better use of the pill. Long way to go but we're playing much better footy. Big second half coming up!
