Nice quarter. Should set us up for a nice win if we played our cards right.

Need to absolutely raise the bat

Barely seen a lick of this game I'm at my Grandma's 96th birthday. Glad we're in front, sounds like we've been wasteful?

With all respect to Kozzie but does he have the charisma to host a 30 minute podcast each week?

The top 5 worst Melb to Freo defections by level of heartbreak: Troy Longmuir - Needed someone to round out the top 5. I did like Troy though, reasonable left footer. Troy Simmonds - This one annoyed me to no end. Overshadowed by the Farmer trade that same year but we basically handed them a nice up and coming ruck as well so we could get Craig Ellis in a 3 way trade to bolster our terrible backline. At very least there was more currency to be gained from a trade. Jesse Hogan - We all saw it coming, the club acted in good faith. Still sucked though and sucks even more right now. Luke Jackson - I could say 'see above' but it wasn't the same. A flag hero whose development probably wouldn't have been served better anywhere else. Dogga was a good fit for this team, still undecided whether he is a good fit at Freo or not. Jeff Farmer - Words can't express why this is no.1 by a stretch but it just is. It really, really sucked. Think of a bus being driven into your stomach and that's before the infamous goal after the siren. The difference with Wiz and everyone else on this list is that he left for Freo at his absolute peak. The end.

I can't remember it specifically. There was enough to write a book that was said around here in Oct/Nov so the memory is hazy. If everything matches up then thank you for sharing in the first place.

I don't watch it anymore either, there's only so many glorified youtube clip shows I can take. Thanks for letting us know about this one though I'll have a look.

Is this the most exciting Grand Final of all time? Has to be in the mix surely. Free flowing, long and direct footy. Jezza out of the goalsquare had a field day. I once saw Rex Hunt on one of those channel 7 shows say that he thought he did a reasonable job at CHB on Robert Walls, holding him to 8 kicks. The fact that he kicked 6 goals and was BOG was another story. RIP Robert.

Congrats GV and to all other Spurs fans it was well deserved. Couldn't be happier that Ange did it and at least make the owners have to think twice about sacking him. Commiserations to @roy11 United really have had the season from hell. Will be looking for Amorim to make some signings and start shaping that squad.

Totally agree. One thing I'd also like to see is post match Youtube streams so we can have the old days of talkback radio after matches instead of no postmatch and just going straight to the next game. I can't be bothered doing it but surely someone can.

An apology to the fitness staff? That had my ribs tickled. We've bombed out in nearly every last quarter this year and the first time we put a decent one together we should hand out participation ribbons? Thought it was sensational the way we ran out the game but the sensationalist stuff week to week could use a rest. It's like apologising to the guy that bludges in his job 4 days a week but then on Friday does some of his best work.

Not that this is the only reason, but let's not forget that leaving to go somewhere just because mates are there is silly. If your friend jumped off a cliff would you?

Yeah was gonna mention on the gameday thread, it was shocker. I thought every Lions player kicking while being tackled was doing so with their dacks down.

Heard David Zita say we were driving the narrative on this one. Freo should lend us their bus driver hats..

Those 3 big marks in the last 5 minutes allowed us to keep the ball forward and take 20 seconds off at a time. Love you Max.

One big win doesn't change everything but it's become apparent that this game weak is going to have growing pains a long the way. I can't really sit here and fault Goodwin for the way he's gone about it. Old coach or new coach, we're probably going to have to persist with change anyway so right now I'm keen to see how he manages it.

Honestly I didn't expect Trac to be playing that many minutes through the middle just yet. It was very encouraging and I know there will be games where we still need him to split but it was a big takeaway.

I couldn't agree more. When was the last time you learned something new from watching an AFL broadcast? Maybe back when Daisy Pearce was on special comments? If I could have just one thing you've mentioned it would be down the ground footage and I feel like we've been crying out for it for 20 years now. Other than locking this away specially for the Murdoch media line towers so they can look like big experts and we are forced to watch their shows during the week, there is no good reason why it can't be available for viewers. I'm not the biggest cricket buff but I have to agree that the viewing experience for that sport right now is incredible. Same with Golf.

I thought Trac's game was underappreciated. I'd even say it was his best since King's Birthday. despite not being his cleanest. 31 x disposals 7 x I50s 8 x Score involvements 9 x clearances (the game high) and 7 of them from the middle He also attended 29 centre bounces and played extensively through the midfield so I found this extremely encouraging, what did you guys think and did his game also fill you with confidence?

Not for me my good man, I can't speak for other voters but I thought he was sensational. 7 x I50s 8 x Score involvements 9 x clearances (the game high) and 7 of them from the middle His best game since KB for mine, he also attended 29 centre bounces and played extensively through the midfield so that was extremely encouraging. Had he kicked that goal at the end he would have banked a Brownlow vote for sure.

I think he's in AA form personally. His 1 on 1 game has gone to a new level as well.
