Hopeful Demon

Petty's performance today reminded me of Tmac against the Eagles back in 2017. It was the game where announced himself as a genuine key forward. I wouldn't be surprised if Petty has a 50+ goal season in 2024, just like Tmac did in 2018.

How good was Petty! I was sceptical of playing him forward but I've changed my mind. Everything he touched turned to gold. All in all, I'm thrilled with that win. That was a very high pressure game and we held up brilliantly. Still got another four games left but I'm much more confident heading into the finals than I was this time last year.

Wow Petty and JVR look like a pretty damn good forward combo.

Anyone who thinks that our midfield has been functioning better without Oliver should watch this quarter.

Harmes and ANB have been butchering the ball like crazy.

Anyone who undermined our win against Adelaide should watch how they're playing tonight. They're a very dangerous team.

They really weren't

Brilliant again today. His will to win is simply out of this world. I think he deserves to sneak his way into the AA team at the end of the year but he seems to fly under the radar as he's been living in the shadow of Oliver and Trac over the past three years.

Well those last five minutes were like a walking heart attack but thank god we won in the end. The biggest positive of today's game was our small forwards. Pickett looked very threatening and it was great to see Chandler get his confidence back.

Ahh the old Kozzie

Jesus Melksham is good to watch when he's firing.

Now this is the Chandler of Round 1-7

I thought that no team could get worse than Melbourne of 2013 but I guess I was wrong there.

What a game! I thought we completely cooked at three quarter time but we just never gave in. Our desperation in the last 10 minutes was outstanding. Petracca is a champion. He's so glorious to watch when he's kicking goals. Gawn had his best performance in a very long time. That was the ultimate captain's game. And how could I leave out Jake Melksham. You could just tell he'd nail that set shot.

We only have ourselves to blame. Kicking 5.15 for the whole game is simply disgusting. I can't emphasise how painful we are to watch at the moment.

This is why Pickett needs to get the ball more

I was specifically referring to players who played for the seniors last year.

Oh yeah 100% McVee is a gun and JVR is very impressive for a young key forward.

If I'm being honest Rivers has probably been our only player who's taken a big step since last season.

Yesss!!!! This is the happiest I've been since the 2021 GF. We can worry about our inaccuracy and the last minute later. Let's just appreciate the fact that we [censored] beat Collingwood! Jack Viney, take a bow you star.

Our defence was impeccable that quarter. That being said, our kicking into the forwardline needs a lot of work. We can't just rely on our defence to win us this game.

Smith has looked good up forward. Starting to think we should've tried him there a while ago

Collingwood aren't playing well at all. Should be three goals ahead.

That 'bang bang bang' didn't sound very nice this time.

Jesus Carlton really do suck
