Red But Mostly Blue

Totally agree. Heartbreaking for Fritter, but we'll almost certainly see him in the GF when we get through. I don't mind the change though, it makes sense. I looking forward to seeing it pay off.

Richmond has a lot of Vietnamese eateries, but not particularly famed for its yum cha. Minh Tan 2 is nearby, you could easily cut through Church Street to get there. 10 minutes walk tops. Otherwise, you could head into the city to visit Shark Fin House, which is famous for its Yum Cha. You could tram it down there pretty easy, or walk 30-40 minutes.

I'm glad someone else mentioned this. I loved this moment as well. Says so much about the club at the moment, and how we know exactly where we are headed, not just now, but in the future. Fearless, positive stuff. I also loved Viney's work in getting the kick to Gus for a goal. We really needed that, and the group I was in at M54 went ballistic!

Good teams can win ugly when required. It shows how good we are, because we're deadly when we put it all together. And as the group develops we'll put it all together more often and with greater intensity!

To us mere mortals, Lord Nev ?

The kid works his guts out. His pressure was fantastic, and that 50 metre goal immense. We wouldn't have gotten that from Garlett.

I just so happen to live in Hawthorn, so got to look at their salty faces as they got off the 70. Sang the song on the tram, it was brilliant.

It's telling ain't it? And they finished top 4, and managed to escape scrutiny. We just keep adding those top 8 scalps. All when it counted!

Awesome stat! I'm glad we delivered it.

Yeah this is one of the biggest takeaways over the last month+. We didn't play our best footy tonight, and some of our stars were a little under, but we still found a way to win, and win well. This is the making of a very dangerous team, for a very long time.

100% and his 50m goal was pivotal!

Hawks: Top 4 Flogs. So happy that we had the honour of ending their year. What a night.

How good was that? For all the talk of how much Viney could contribute so soon after his injury... How BLOODY GOOD WAS HE?

Agree (with you haha), Trac has been great, and was awesome in that third quarter

I'm sitting next to a bay of Hawks, and boy are they.... DIRTY! The look on their faces. Priceless. What a quarter. Fearless. Tackling was next level, and we punished. LET'S BRING THIS HOME, BOYS!

CHARLIE SPARGO!! We need to drive this home now. 5 goal lead at 3q time, let's go!

WEIDDDDD!!!

True, and my word we need them!

Yep! We're playing very ordinary footy, and we're winning (thanks to Hawks wasting chances), just imagine if we get our ship together!

Our short passes have been criminal. If we don't fix it (and improve our inside 50s), we won't be so lucky, because I doubt the Hawks will miss those chances in the 2nd half. We've been given a lifeline here. We don't really deserve that lead, but we have to make it count!

The umpiring has been atrocious, but so have some of our skills. Jones and Spargo's passes inside 50 (among a few others) have been total wastes of our hard work. Plus it's caused a loss of possession, and goals. Got to tighten up for the rest of the game.

10 minutes to go! It's filling up here at the G. Might get to 90 again... It's already electric (in spite of the Hawks crap) Think I'm gonna be sick ?

Not in the right colours, but she's a beaut again tonight. It's all good, though - we'll paint the G red and blue ??

So, while there's been chatter about how and whether we'll win, I've been out getting things done. I ordered the same (not the EXACT same, sure) slices of pizza (three cheese, Margherita), and asked my wife to do the same (three cheese, Hawaiian, I know, no judgement please haha), from the same place, and was served by the same guy as last week. Mind you, as it turns out, the guy is a Dees supporter! Now I'm walking the same route, to enter the G from the same Gate. We've got this!

Great way of looking at it. I agree. We need to keep doing the things we're great at, kick alright (if not very accurately), and not become complacent about our opposition/the score at any time and we will roll 'em.
