Can we talk about Petty for a second? Real impressive, all he needed was a decent run for it to come together and I think that was his most complete performance to date. Good job mate, tracking beautifully.

Can we get Kade Simpson on a 1-game contract?

What’s that? Yes I am watching it again!

We’re a team for the big stage now, no doubt about it. The real deal. Oh mate I’m so proud right now, this is a bloody stern and rugged football team. It’s not about sis toughest, it’s about who’s toughest the longest. Could have easily been a shoot out, hell the Dogs could have easily kicked the first of the second half and made it a game but we just juice extracted the early parts of these quarters and frustrated the heck out of them. Beware of the Dogs? I think not, beware of the guy guarding the gate with a big demon pitchfork! No dogs allowed Where do you start with the performances? I think you have to start in the coaches box. Yze saying we weren’t going to tag anyone? Mwah, absolute brilliance in theatre. Harmes to Libba when we could have easily sent him to Bont, we really did our homework there. Spargo’s run with role was excellent as well. It’s not all about the possession number it’s where they happen. Heck Bont had 30 of them, does anyone remember Bont actually doing anything? Clayton Oliver take a bow young man, this guy could win a contested ball in Antarctica, even if he had to get there first. The way this guy is playing right now, do not change. His excellent handballing is still there, kicks when he should. Don’t even change the hair right now friend, seeing the Pat flowing front as he gathers a tough ball is a sight of beauty. James Harmes, you started it all with that great goal and his game for the next 120 was just workman extraordinaire. Had his knockers, thought he’d find it hard getting back in but I think he’s back to stay now. Gut running midfielders are still in season and he played a game tonight like James McDonald would do every week back in the day keeping his opponent down but getting a lot of ball for himself. Best game in years. How about Gus Brayshaw? 50-50 balls in the air that could have gone either way on that wing and he won nearly all of them. Huge part of the win. Trent Rivers you gun. Never wastes the footy, brilliant in one on ones. I’m actually getting sick of how this guy manages to spoil the ball in contests he looks like he has to right to be in (Just kidding, I’m not sick of this at all). Jake Lever played but also played with rage! His holding the ball tackle I saw a look in his eyes I hadn’t seen before. It was a ‘You’re dead meat’ look. Man it’s so good to have the player we thought we were getting and then some. And how about disco Plugger Macdonald? Key marks in the game, his leads were to complex for the cruddy Bulldogs defenders which are just not up to it. G.Lyon made a great point a few weeks ago how they are balding at the crown but the party at the front can be combed back. Man I’m tired and drunk, need to finish this so I can drop the tablet and flop. ANB, Pickett, Jordan, Fritsch, Spargo just immense. Forward pressure was back tonight and we smoked it. Even Clint Bartram played well tonight, whenever he is. We worked so hard tonight, no passengers. And after the week we’ve had as Victorians we deserve it. Can just sit back and enjoy the weekend filled with activities localised to my backyard. And everyone else including the ladder can get stuffed. Very very proud. I’m tired, bed.

The aesthetics of the game get a great run in the media. Attractive football and all that jazz. Do you want to be a team that scores freely or a team that is hard to score against. Answer: Just win baby.

NAILED, IT, GORG!

Couldn't agree more. Langdon isn't just a foot soldier that does a job on that wing he brings things to the table that almost no-one in the team has and that is his aerobic and anaerobic ability. Big loss, will need to find a way to simplify the role for whoever takes it.

Loved it, remember the exact moment. Rover in a ruckman’s body

6. Oliver 5. Harmes 4.Rivers 3. Brayshaw 2. Lever 1. Spargo Edit: the votes don't do justice to the games of ANB, Kozzie and Jordan.

This is such a great feeling! And it goes well with a few single malts! Just need to find the right woman and that’s the set completed.

I’m so not surprised Trac’s mum dropped off a big tray of lasagna. I bet it tasted great too!

JB: “interesting the Dees are applauding the stands there’s no-one in them!” JB my son use your imagination, they are paying tribute to the fans who WOULD be in the stands in pretty much the only way you can do it in a time like this.

One thing I’ll say about Lever’s mo. It’s not a dirty mo.

We deserved it after this shocking week!

Yeah Pickett can juice the clock now!

2 clutch goals and an out on the full field kick for Weid. I’ll take it.

Clarry playing with rage right till the end.

Ch7 playing Tool on the broadcast. The world isn’t such a bad place these days :)

Well done Daniel! I’ve got Dayne Beams’s phone number if you want to chat more instant arm ink.

I don’t know if it’s MFCSS but a game is still never over for me until at least 5 mins left. No matter the lead.

I literally spat my drink out laughing!

Yay there’s your cheapy Bruce. Come on Dees work hard till the final bell.

Not one of Langdon’s better games but boy he’s still a guy to worry about as an opposition team!

Big time!
