Greendale

Umps aren't calling too many frees which I'm generally supportive of, especially in finals, but Max is being slaughtered by these green flogs. Should've had about 4 holding frees so far, and also had a bs ruck free called against him.

6. Oliver 5. Fritsch 4. Neal-Bullen 3. Petracca 2. May 1. Viney Shoutout to Sparrow who didn't make my 6, but played a career best game.

Just completely ignore Cameron yanking Smith by the arm

Riewoldt and Jono Brown trying to justify Toby Greene's bump on the umpire. Seriously give me a break, no room for that crap in the game. Multiple weeks for me.

Petracca awesome

[censored] Steve Hocking and his stupid rule

Ugh could really just go for an easy win tonight. Brisbane's small forwards have been dangerous and they've been on top in the clearances. Need Maxy to lift, well beaten by Big O that quarter. Nibbler absolutely superb so far, making it look completely dry out there.

What an incredible win, the boys look absolutely pumped. So many games this we've faced adversity and come out on top, let's go the whole [censored] way!

Melksham best game for quite a while. Knows he has to be physical if he's to keep his spot come finals. Vandenberg poor unfortunately. I think Viney can come in and play a similar role to a higher standard, allowing Harmes to keep some more time at the stoppages. Bowey excellent. Lock him in for the rest of the year. ANB played his role to perfection and took difficult opportunities when they presented themselves. Congrats to him on the hard earned 100. Unless Tom Green gets 40+ touches the next two weeks Luke Jackson has now wrapped up the rising star. He's improving in every way, but I think his marking has come on quicker than expected. Struggled with goalkicking in the rain but I still think his technique looks good and we'll see more of what we saw last week with the four goals straight. Trent Rivers yet again a quiet achiever. Positioned well and won contests against more experienced footballers. Also his shot for goal missed but is was an absolute roost. Drop punt from 55 and went a good 15 metres past the goals.

West Coast have underperformed significantly this year, but they still have one of the most talented lists in the league. If their injury issues ease up I could see them building back some consistency and confidence.

For two years I've whinged about Brayshaw not playing in the middle. He's finally figured out how to play wing, and despite not finding huge amounts of the ball, is now a crucial part of our team.

In the postmatch Goodwin said that Salem is struggling with a few niggles with his body. Didn't specify what exactly, but is the same issue that kept him out against Adelaide. Him coming off early was just precautionary as we had the match sealed, and is expected to play next week.

6: Gawn 5: Petracca 4: Oliver 3: TMac 2: May 1: Spargo

Pickett wouldn't have gotten a free for that

McCluggage just keeps dropping it as soon as he's tackled. Knows the umps don't want to give the quick free kick

Outdid their great first half with a great quarter. We've got the hunger, as long as we take our chances I'll back us in here.

And to think some of you people couldn't imagine us getting back into this, only took 10 minutes. Intensity has stepped up big time, especially in the middle.

Well done by McDonald sucking in that absolute peanut Dayne Zorko

Oliver can be incredible with his hands. That's exactly what we need more of.

Really not too worried about the umpring at all aside from a bit of holding. Many of the lion's free kicks have been for holding the ball. Their tackling has been excellent, while we've been fumbly and not choosing the first option. If we're gonna win this we need more from the midfield, Oliver and Trac can do the damage.

Can't give Cameron anywhere near that much space, really poor

Brisbane marking everything so far, but if they're gonna keep playing slow like this, then they'll need to keep grabbing them all game. Our work around the contest has been poor by our standards so far, but Brisbane's pressure has been excellent. Gawn dominant in the ruck, but need Oliver and Petracca to break out of the stoppages more as the game goes on.

Out: Weid, Langdon (if injured) In: B.Brown, Baker In some ways I'd like to keep Weid in to build his confidence, but at the same time it's important to drive standards, and Brown deserves a chance to build confidence in the 1s as well. Looking forward, Viney comes into this team but I have no idea at who's expense.

6. Oliver 5. Harmes 4. Brayshaw 3. Lever 2. Petracca 1. TMac

Brayshaw has now finally become comfortable on the wing. Last three or four matches has been filling up space really well, and halving contests where he's at a disadvantage. Won't get much time in the spotlight playing this role, but is crucial to the team and highlights the selfless attitude the boys have been talking about. Harmes and Neal-Bullen other role players doing their role to perfection.
