Little Goffy

You've lost so much respect today. Massively projecting.

I left the room and came back to a Geelong player wobbling horribly as he was helped from the ground. Commentators obviously not going to make a fuss about a Hawthorn player being a thug, so I've got no idea what actually happened. Can anyone fill me in? Was it as serious as Kozzie near-fatal bump on Moore?

wtaf?

Is it possible that he has actually got chewy on his boot? So funny that at just a couple of absolutely crucial moments for our club he became goal-kicking champion.

Yep, Howes is one to keep developing. Wouldn't expect him to be a superstar but there's always room in a list for solid citizens who can sustain an AFL standard. I feel like as he progresses consistency will become a feature. Which is weird because obviously it isn't his top card right now.

Could be an important 8-point game in the hunt for the 8, too. Let's see how Freo go against, Crows, Saints, Magpies, Giants, Port and Gold Coast in the next 6 weeks.

The Crowd. 25k is perhaps 10k more than many would have realistically expected. What a club. That is some proper resilience and everyone who went deserves the win. Virtue rewarded.

Aw, thanks. Now I get to celebrate both an excellent, dynamic, character-filled win by the Demons, AND I get to prove my point that some people put indulging their vendettas ahead of the enjoying the club's successes.

Yep, I'm going to call that a full form turnaround from Rivers. Tense final ten minutes now.

oh Gawny, just cursed

Raising an eyebrow at Max Gawn steadily getting more and more involved as the game goes on. I suspect he loved having a half of football where he wasn't required to be in two places at once. Might be relatively fresh for the final quarter, which could be important.

Well, this is an unexpected moment to be reminded of my ex.

Uh oh. Please examine your reality tokens. The following sentence is allegedly a thing that really happened; "Demons score a last-minute goal after Harrison Petty soccers one off the ground"

Sorry Freo, you can't afford him.

Ah poop. Oliver having a very poor quarter after making a good effort of it in the first. Meanwhile, another quiet nod, this time for Rivers who hasn't been spectacular but has been working through the play and getting involved effectively, and might be turning his form slump around a bit.
