You'd think based on Roos philosophy that he may get another gig next week but he was so disappointing yday considering what is at stake for him. Nicho only got one chance and I'd say his future at the club has already been decided. If tappy gets dropped next week he is as good as gone. If he gets another game he will need to be among our best, anything less and he is following in nichos footsteps

Agree with all of this AF. I was bored senseless and freezing at the same time. Things I learnt - Our drop in intensity has to be linked to our fitness. We look tired! Riley can play Frawley has clocked out and lost interest Dunn must be played down back Tysons lack of preseason is now evident after a ripper first half of the season Tapscott blew his chance today. For someone playing for his life he showed very little. We are light years away from finals footy.

That was Ashley Sampi.

6 Jamar 5 Viney 4 Howe 3 Jetta 2 Grimes 1 Vince Can't believe that several of you have not given Viney a mention. Completely blanketed the most dangerous player in libba, a sensational effort

I'd be real surprised if Roosy is not in the face of a few Swans players to get the to the Dees. Between him n Stone I'm sure there will be the odd coffee or phone call here n there. I'm not sure of Luke Parkers contract situation but geez id love him at the Dees!

I drove past about 945 and they looked like they were just setting up.

Agree with most of this but not Watts, who clearly plays his best footy forward. I'd say Jet would be perfect for Wingard, just not sure who comes out, maybe Salem or JKH although neither deserve to be dropped!

Pedo would go close to most improved in the comp at the moment let alone our team. Some of his grabs and tackles yesterday were at critical times and were inspirational. He plays with confidence now , something he was devoid of last year! Well done Pedo.

Stats that matter! 21 scoring shots from 41 entries 14 ctr clearances to 5 On top of that our intensity at the ball was almost finals like, just beautiful to watch!

Lump in the throat watching the belt the song out. Sensational effort for almost 4 quarters fellas, the benchmark is set. There could be many more wins coming our way this year! Hooohaarrr!!

If we can learn to play at that intensity for 4 qtrs we will trouble a lot if teams this year!

James Hooper from the Sydney Daily Telegraph said on The Back Page tonight that he is lead to believe that show cause notices have already been issued to some. Did not mention which code. Might explain Essendons pretty ordinary past 3 or 4 weeks after being lauded as flag candidates after the first few rounds! The wheels have not quite fallen off yet, but the similarities in their form lapse late last year and the past month after being in red hot form is very interesting.

I had the privilege of a few training sessions with the Bloods when Tommy was coach. Whilst I never made it, I'll never forget Tommy introducing me to the players in the middle of the SCG and made me feel like one of the boys, even if I was nowhere near it! RIP Tommy, a true legend of our game.

You have to remind yourself he has played just 21 games of footy... Will be an elite player of the comp within 12 months!

Yeah we coulda won, probably shoulda! But how far have we come in a very short time and how good is it to be entertained by our team for the first time in years. I hope That [censored] Barrett was watching Tyson closely tonight. 21 games of footy and fast approaching A grade material! Great stuff!

Agree this is a big night for us. We've been crying out to be respected for years and a win tonight following on from our stance during the week and the win in Adelaide will see the beginnings of respectability coming back our way! Dogs only game at the G all year and I can't remember it being a very happy venue for them away from their pristine conditions at etihad! Weather could suit us I reckon! Can't wait to be there

That bit of play is one of the more inspirational acts I've seen from a Demon in 20 years. Up there with Nietz hip n shoulder on Mccabe and subsequent goal on the run!

We are currently ranked 9th best defence in the comp which has Roos fingerprints all over it. Considering the dark depths we have come from this is super impressive. We are averaging roughly 10 goals less being scored against us per match! We've got a long way to but gee we are heading in the right direction!

The toughest week for many years to vote on. So many winners and no passengers! 6 Dawes 5 Tyson 4 JKH 3 Jetta 2 Terlich 1 Jamar

At half time they showed footage of him pre match and he looked sore , maybe tightness in his hammy or possibly buttock, also went down to the rooms on his own before the match. We are lucky he saw the game out I reckon!

Both Howe n Watts redeemed themselves without setting the world on fire! Whilst I would not have been surprised to see either dropped, it's great that Roosy had faith in both lads. Both were involved in pivotal moments I'm the match! JKH and Jet were outstanding, 2 guys I didn't expect to see in our best on. Sensational win boys!
