Freo was our worst performance by a stretch. This one had the mark of maturity. A shocking first quarter. Steadied in the second. Got a sniff in the third. And crushed them in the last. All without two key players from the first four rounds. It was genuinely impressive. It also sets up next week beautifully.

Super return. Welcome back Hibbo.

Maxy Gawn. What can you say that hasn’t been said.

Lol the ump apologising to Max for awarding a free kick against him

Leigh Matthews has said ten words since half time. Delicious.

10 minutes left. Put the foot down.

Give that man 2 Brownlow votes

The big man

Wait what? That was HTB and it gets reversed because of high contact after the whistle?

If we could win a clearance that’d be super.

Wow. That was a 2018 T Mac dagger.

And take Matthews with you. “Limited prior” my [censored]. Mitchell had enough time to stop for a cup of tea.

So May and Fritta are big outs in case anyone was wondering. A better quarter than the first at least. Backline just starting to get their [censored] together. Without much confidence I think we’ll get over the line but geeze if we play like this we’re in for a hiding next week. Really happy with Hibbo’s game. The biggest positive so far.

I feel like we could be 18-0 and Leigh Matthews wouldn’t rate us that highly.

Hibbo playing well but otherwise it is worrying signs early in defence. Even Tommo is looking very uncertain. Gonna need to find another gear or two to get it done today.

Frosty is close to best on for us so far.

Rivers is having a proper stinker.

Let’s go for 3 Brownlow votes this time Mitch.

Absolute madness.

The rhetoric around Adelaide is starting to [censored] me. All the talk about how they were a certainty to beat us and are hot favourite for the flag. Anyone who watched us play them in the home and away will know that we destroyed them in that game. They were never in it. And kicking straight in the prelim would’ve had us in the game. I hope it’s nagging at the girls just as much.

Don’t like shaming a lack of knowledge, but not knowing who TISM is might be grounds for handing in your citizenship. On topic, I would’ve loved it no matter who it was. The fact it was Duckwood was, as Bruce would say, delicious.

Two changes. Petty for May locked in and personally I’d go Hibbo in for Rivers Rivers hasn’t been poor, although 11 touches at 54% doesn’t exactly jump off the page. It’s more that Hibbo makes us a better side. Simple as that.
