Well Rosman just became one of my favorites ... what a champion young man

I've recently done this and it felt like that first really cold beer on a hot day. Highly recommend.

When considering the metric of beating a team by 186 points, it's not so much how good you are. It's more about how bad the other team is. No good team ever lost to a great team by 186 points.

You strike me as someone who is very big on the internet, but very small at the pub My issue is your hurling personal insults at someone who you presumably haven't even met. Stick to the footy.

Slow brain? Was that a necessary comment?

Wonderful round of football, with some very enjoyable results across the board

If only the world and football were as simple as you're making it out to be ...

Met Gawny back in 09 in Fed Square before QB I believe. I'm 6"1 and I look tiny in the photo we took together. Great bloke Met Robbo too, another champion bloke. One of my fav players growing up. The player I'd most love to meet (and ideally have a beer with) would have to be Stevie May.

thought the same when i saw it. really poor umpiring

Commentary officially died when the great man retired

I think your scope in which Ben can impact the game is limited to the very tradition metrics on which we measure a key forward i.e. goals, marks i50 etc If you look beyond those traditional metrics you'll see multiple ways BB positively impacted the game

Oh thats a good one - BT's different words for describing a kick "A slider", "a dribbler", "a chiseler". There are many more, cant think of them all right now. wow wee

Career best game last night. Loved his attack on the footy

I’ve been waiting for this thread my whole life, and I don’t even know where to start

Niiiiice Gary

I thought he was really good. Its pretty clear to me that Tmac and our smalls are a lot better off when we have Ben to drag away their best defender. Thought Brown did excellent work up the ground presenting a really strong target with clean hands. BB is definitely part of the equation now, can't see him getting dropped unless he has multiple mares in a row. Sorry SW

The best part of wins like that is we don't hear from @Dr.D for a little while, who has once again got it completely wrong We don't lose to the comps best teams, its that simple.

Do you even hope you're wrong, or do you actually enjoy us losing?

Never participated in a game day thread after the first bounce, never will

You and I both know the latter is far more likely

The formula is simple. Once the media starts talking about a teams finals and/or flag chances, we beat them. When a team is on a hot winning streak, we beat them. If a team is sitting in the top 8, we beat them. Don't let a recent bout of flat form make you forget about how we have delivered against the comps best consistently this year. If we win tonight, it will only solidify my thinking that we are very well placed to win games in September. When the finals start, any losses we've had to bad teams will mean absolutely nothing. Port aren't that good. We're due to bounce back from some flat form over the past month. I predict Dee's by 4 goals and collective sigh of relief among the DL faithful.

Brayshaw has been fantastic defensively and is really settling into this new role on the wing. Dropping him would be ma huge mistake.

You'd be well out of pocket so far this year
