  1. Yeah it felt a lot to me like we were a lion that had bitten the leg off a gazelle in the first, then spent 2.5 qtrs circling and blithely swatting at it, before going for the kill in the last.
  2. 3 wins clear of 5th, WC % less than 50, clear first with a win and % on the rest. Good times.
  3. Laughable some of the hysteria in this thread. We're nearly 3 times their score, we've spent the bulk of the game barely above idling, we're getting the job done. Why tear ourselves to shreds in May?
  4. Come on suns - would be great for our top 2 calcs if the dockers drop this.
  5. Truly one of the greatest images of that night, captured exactly what I suspect many of us were feeling at that exact moment.
  6. Would it be too much to ask to do the Eagles by 195 points for the record winning margin, then do the roos next week by 200, leading to 2 coach sackings in consecutive weeks?
  7. Great podcast again - thanks for your efforts on this. Fantastic call from It's Time too. Articulated a lot of what I suspect many of us are feeling with regard to this period.
  8. "How funny is it when you’re at the ground and Karl directs your attention to the big screen at the start of the 2nd quarter where the animated giant Eagle stomps on the opposition jumper and we’ve got 0.1 on the board and the games already over. Really pumps everyone up... "...Or when they play Foo fighters The Pretender at 3QT and real off all the highlights from the goals we've scored, and we've only scored one.... so they just show replays of guys taking a chest mark instead." Given the pain the Eagles have dished out to us on many occasions (1990s and 2018 Prelim losses to name a few) over the decades, these two comments are particularly satisfying.
  9. Probably, but his 210 cm is a little under the 42 m of the grounded Optus Stadium roofing.
  10. Love Spargo's tackling
  11. This is surely just part of St Kilda's plan to dismantle our game plan?
  12. Kozzy having a blinder. He could easily have 4 goals already, but I'll take the 2.
  13. Goal to Moniz-Wakefield. Casey up 25 to 0.
  14. Both those results good for us. Win tomorrow and we're 3 games clear of 5th (or possibly 4th depending in other results).
  15. And the crucial difference with the Roos => Goodwin succession plan vs the various other shambles is that the succession plan was understood and intended right from the inception of the Roos appointment.
  16. It's a bloody privilege being a member of this club. Cherish every nanosecond of this period, all.
  17. Bring in a 3rd WA club.
  18. Great news! Is he the right guy though...? Interesting only a 2 year extension.
  19. Three Dees in the top 8. How good is life?
  20. Given two absolutely unforgettable moments in the goalsquare that I will cherish forever. One being his lead-snatching goal while being slung in a tackle that sealed our magnificent win against West Coast in Perth back in 2017. The other being his vital brutish shove of the Dogs defender through the goals to secure Sparrow's goal in the dying moments of the GF 3rd quarter, without which we'd have gone into the last with far less momentum and scoreboard buffer. Absolutely fantastic work by TMac to have wrung 200 games out of his career to date - particularly given his early development occurring in the midst of our ****test years, and his latter-years reinvention as a forward.
  21. And put some ladder distance between us and them too
  22. He used to poll huge possession numbers but not sure he was super hurtful outside of hos brownlow year, though his subsequent broken leg probably hasn't helped him since.
  23. Bedford you rippa!
  24. Classic BBB free love it in the red and blue
  25. Oh Lever you've almost done a Smith with that handpass
