open a spreadsheet and start running the numbers SWYL. As long as the margin is a consistent 150% points scored for or against doesn't matter.

Petty comes in for Thommo. no question in my mind at all Brown showed it will take a couple of games to get up to speed. Too risking to bring in the Weid and having both KPFs trying to find form.

Not sure how the coach’s go about reviewing that game. Hopefully that first half was just an aberration and it will be normal service resumed next week against the Swans. Jackson immense in the second half. Fritsch’s kicking is all sorted, Kozzie excellent. Petracca didn’t play badly imv and was the only one showing any urgency in the first half. Set shot kicking let him down and some rash decisions at times in the second half. Jordon slotted his goal at a crucial time. He showed real composure. Langdon was steady. Lever and May ok down back. TMac did a good job filling in for Thommo but he needs to play forward next week. Oliver worked his way into the game. Shockers for Gawn, Gus, Nibbler. Hopefully they can just forget about today, put it out of their mind and come back stronger next week. Horrible luck for Thommo. He’s been brilliant for us. Petty to come in and hopefully fill the gap.

Why does anyone care whether the commentators want us to win or not. To hell with them

I think our devious plan all along was to play North into form so they can beat the pies next week. I hope we succeeded.

6. Fritsch 5. Kozzie 4. Jackson 3. Petracca 2. Langdon 1. Lever

Petty for Thommo. We need TMac forward where he's been very good for us this year. Both Melks (other than 1 kick to Brown) and Baker very ineffective. I think i'd give Baker another game to see if he can find form. It's just too hard to justify carrying Melks. Jones needs the rest so sparrow in for him.

Preach away. Fair perspective. I thought my MFCSS had left for good but turns out it was just on holiday. It's now back in its rightful spot, perched on my shoulder ready to set me straight whenever i get ahead of myself. Lesson learned

We were 150% beforehand. To sustain that level you need to continue winning by that margin. Any game you win by less than that margin will reduce your overall percentage

Shocking first half performance. As undeserved a win as you are ever likely to see The story is Thommo’s injury. Cruel luck for the lad. Has big implications for our defensive unit for the rest of the season.

Petty is next in line. He should come in otherwise whats the point having him on the list

Take a bow J Jordon. Composure when it was needed most. Well done son.

Calm heads needed here.

Baker you [censored]. help Hunt

composure Trac. You're better than that

Nibbler having a shocker. HE's not alone mind.

What kind of a beast will LJ be once he gets 100 games of AFL experience

I muted the commentary in the 2nd quarter. Dunstall is an aboslute pelican

The reason Melks is playing is becuase of that inside 50 kick to Brown.

Kozzie and Petracca might just get it done for us.

Where was Clayton aiming that kick? And we somehow manage to score from it.

What was that Hibbo. I don;t belive my eyes here.

Brayshaws worst game in a long time. No urgency whatsoever

Fair call. I'm one of those fools.

I thought at worst North might drag us down to their level before we eventually imposed ourselves, similar to the hwaks game. But the truth is North are playing us off the park. They are ahead on merit and we don;t deserve anything out of this game from here. The only hope we have is if North choke but i can't see it happening. Max is having his worst game ever with plenty of others not far behind. Trac the only one who has fronted up. Credit to him. Fritsch and Kozzie have done ok as well. the rest have been deplorable.
