For sure and a lot of those premiership players came to the fore last night. Well deserved win. Good to see Essendon have the performance of a lifetime last week and then bottle it this week.

Jack Henry take a bow.

Carlton need to get a few losses.

Alright, happy for a Carlton win today but I wish nothing but losses for them from here on out.

Yeah no chance!

Thursday footy is crap.

West Coast get a win and everyone is excited

Sure is!

Bloody beaut..

He's a regular Mr Fix It.

Might tune in to this one, hoping to see Tommo monster it.

Need to not rush Gawn.

Even I could use a bit more of your patience trust me on that!

Couldn't agree more and I do think we'll have the challenge ahead of us but like you said if we can just get it done then we'll be past the worst of it and ready for a tilt. I don't want to go too hard on the people who were losing faith. Yeah they probably shouldn't have but it's natural I guess when you go on a losing streak I guess. I certainly had my frustrations (even though I feel I've got a decent understanding of our condition) We're in this together!

I like it, but I think Weitering needs to be CHB. Max King a bit stiff as well. Greene is a bold choice but I don't hate it, he's been THAT good.

I felt a bit like last night we were back to our manic pressure and hard running because we really had heart and that overcame any tiredness we had from loading. Hopefully someone buys that. But seriously this is where I don't buy into the theory that it is 100% about loading and results/every kick, mark and handball being directly affected by it. Getting a run on with momentum, getting the heads of steam up from that and piling more pressure on as a result, being able to play a regular intercept game because the big man is back allowing Lever and Petty to do what they do, winning back the footy and scoring on turnover, entering 50 in a less one dimensional way and having the nerve to lower the eyes. All these things contribute to getting a team through even if they are still slightly off due to loading (which I do believe is a factor). People also may not want to admit it but at one point this game could have gone either way too and were were slightly fortuitous at times. We know that we were extremely inaccurate but there were moments where the game was in the balance that Bris had some key set shots and let us off multiple times with bad misses. Had they kicked those it could have been a different game. So for me it's what is happening with mentality during these periods of loading. A nice run on with a few goals in a row and the heads are up and willing to run that extra 5% harder which we saw in spades last night. Smashed them in contested and uncontested possessions, you do a lot less running with the ball than without the ball. So many factors involved, loading exists but it's how you get through and nothing is an exact mathematical equation as to how a game will turn out because of it.

He's special no doubt, just doing the level headed thing 😝

Glad you like it.

Loved the way he approached it. He didn't let Cameron get goal-side or in behind all night and was more than happy to give up a mark to him in front around the 50 (Only happened once from memory) if it meant preventing out the back stuff. Maybe, just maybe, it actually was worth a vote..

Not even thinking ahead right now it's still week to week for me. A great win but not out of the woods, need a solid effort against the Crows then go again.

Big fan of HB's writing style. He sounds like he knows every club inside out which few others do.

Says it all really..

If you're talking about the massive snap it was quiet in the SS reserved area but in my section it felt like no-one was sure if it went through or not. I was the only one going nuts and literally had to tell the crowd around me that he'd kicked a goal!

When I first got to the ground at 6 I did see a lot of Lions fans and was worried but it certainly turned around closer to bounce! You could really feel the demon in everyone last night!
