Sensational player in career best form. I don't how he compares against the greats of yesteryear but there aren't too many players going around today i'd swap him for.

You're right Dimmy. Goodwin has confirmed he'll play so no point debating it any further. We should all get behind him for the big milestone. He's been a warrior for us. Ploughed a lonely furrow for many a year. 3 best and fairests. Stuck with us when nobody could have blamed him for seeking a trade away. He deserves the recognition and adulation.

On second thoughts the North game isn't such a good idea given its in Tassie but i wish we weren't playing Richmond next week.

It's a tough one. He's held his own the first 4 rounds but today he was poor. I wish we weren't playing Richmond next round.

Goody gave him the all clear in his post game interview. Said both he and the Weid had ticked all the boxes and were available for selection.

I'm putting money on Maxy straight away. 29/1 is too good to pass up.

Maxy Gawn must be leading the Brownlow votes. I can't think of a more dominant player across the first 5 rounds. Definite 3 votes today you'd think and I reckon he polled v the giants and Freo. Possibly Geelong as well.

Flat and listless for much of the first. No rhythm, no tempo. We allowed the Hawks to drag us down to their level. Our class and quality told in the end but we’ll get belted next week playing like we did in the first 3 quarters. Too many passengers. I get the emotion but I don’t know if we can carry Jones next week. Lever and Maxy immense. TMac lifted when we really needed him to. Salem Hibbo Langdon and Kozzie were good. Nice cameo from M Brown but he's replaced next week by either BB or Weid. Petty found his feet after a shaky first half. He’ll be better for the run. He plays next week. I’m apprehensive about the Richmond game. May a huge loss down back. Our conversion simply has to improve. Stoppage work not that good today. Forward pressure was off. Need to work on that this week as Spargs, Nibbler and Kozzie gotta bring the heat next week. Too much spoiling our own marks as well. Plenty to review on Monday and work on during the week. We’ll bank the 4 points and move on. Big big test next week. Go Dees.

We’ve been challenged a few times now and come up with the answers so yeah I’ve trust in them now. We will bring the heat and pressure next week and give Richmond a proper challenge. Might not be enough to win but there will be no poor efforts I’m sure.

I'd play TMac against the Tiges. BB to come in for M Brown. I think the Weid has to bide his time. We can't fit the 3 of them in the same side

6. Gawn 5. Lever 4. TMac 3. Langdon 2. Hibbo 1. Salem

Yeah. Fair point I worry he'll be exposed badly v the tiges

I actually agree. We can't carry him against the Tiges. Hold him over for the North game.

Play of the game. Hibbo's desperate dive to save that goal. He had a great game.

A game we've coughed up in previous years. We'll bank the 4 points and move on. Huge game next week.

BT spaffling on about Nat Jones playing his 3ooth next week. I think he should be held over to the North game. Can't carry him against the Tiges.

We're cracked this game open. M Brown justified his selection right there.

Maxy Gawn. You superstar.

ffs Jordon. Put it to the top of the square

Whats going on at the centre bounces. Getting pantsed

TMac has lifted. We need a few more though.

I agree. Aother great mark on the wing as i write this

Great kick TMac. He knows BB and Weid are waiting to take his spot. Great composure

Yep. Forgot about Salem.

Too many passengers today. Max, Kozzie and Lever the only players on their game. We need more from Oliver, Trac, Viney and Tmac. Ground ball work is sub-par. Not locking the ball into our I50. Come on Spargs and Nibbler. Jones looks like an old man today. Pains me to say it. The coaches will earn their wages at half-time. the Hawks will re-group and come out firing again. A nerve shredder coming up folks
