Oliver is nuts.

Oh good lord. Its been 10 mins ffs.

expecting real intent tonight, along with a bit of vinegar. Come on Dees.

I'll give 20 bucks* to whomever makes a back-to-back-to-back concession montage of Clarry touches in this match. *I won't give you 20 bucks.Just praise.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WHAT A BS CALL!

I'm just constantly gushing at Clayton Oliver. Just the little things he does is AMAZING! That, and everything else.

I flew up from tassy to watch this game, and Oliver just left me speechless. He is SUCH A STAR! He's an absolute magician with his hands, and just watching him was worth my air fare today!

Boy do I miss an in-form Jayden Hunt ? would be great right now!

Far out I've missed Jeffy.

I wonder how many times the words "cake of soap" will be used tonight?

Thrilled Jeffy is playing today. I know he can go missing in games - whole games - and heck, maybe even his VFL form probably doesn't warrant it! But the guy is a star small forward, he can turn it on and be a real influence. I think he is the player we've been crying out for in our forward line, and I reckon he'll capitalise on our high inside 50 game. Hope he doesn't leave the team again, even say after a couple of lean games.

Still tryin to get over the Melksham block against Port Adelaide personally. Today's umpiring is nothing compared to that.

Gawn & Viney bleed for this club.

This game reeks of Round 23. Respect the opposition FOR GODS SAKE!

Come on Dees. I'll forget about this performance, if you just... WIN!

I've never seen us defend so badly this year

That was a fairly ordinary half of footy by us. Expecting us to come out with a different tac from half time. There is no way the players will accept a loss today, and I'll back them to put a poor half behind them. Only 15 points... can catch that in 5 mins. I still back us.

Massive kudos to Bernie Vince for setting up Petracca goal! Put the pressure on, won HTB, nailed the kick to the 50, and we got a goal out of it.

Gee that is probably one of the more impressive highlights package (yes, I know) that I have seen from a tall defender.

...

I mean, gut feel/initial reaction was that we overpaid. But, really, he did finish in the All-Aus squad at 21 years of age... which Treloar didn't do. IMO, we probably paid the market price in the end, but with a hint of "we could have paid less" about it.
