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.

Everything else aside, the thing that burns me most about this game, is how Collingwood have dictated their game to us, all day. It actually feels like my insides are on fire.

Oscar, you're currently doing a bad job. Sure, 1 out of 12 ain't bad, but ffs, lift.

If we win, this will be two weeks in a row of us winning admirably (again, if we keep it up), and Hawthorn losing. I'm just wondering how I died, coz I certainly don't remember the transition to heaven.

We've been breathtakingly good at times. Some of our movement... brings a joyful tear to your eye! Keep it up Dees!

Cannot stress enough how good that quarter was! If we can keep it up for the whole game, that quarter will get talked about a lot I reckon this week.

and I tell ya what Oliver is on early.

Really impressive play leading up to Hogan's goal. Exceptional.

That Clarry hit-up to Hannan was... wow.

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.
