Useful. Please enlighten me as to why you think it's so amusing to think Byrnes was our best, if you're capable of doing so.

Really silly to say we're no chance. Brisbane are every bit a bottom six side. At this stage you could even say bottom four. They got smashed by the Dogs and just fell over the line against the Suns. First half against West Coast and the last quarter today is something to build upon, confidence wise.

Yep just realised that.

Brisbane have been all but destroyed by North. Often their own worst enemy by continually missing targets and breaking down almost every time they get it forward of centre. We bring the commitment from the first and last quarters and properly sort out the set up at stoppages, we are in with a huge chance of two in a row and maybe a turn of the tide.

..huh? He was one of the best today, in fact I had him as BOG.

How did Lindsay Thomas avoid at least a nomination in this? I can't think of a bigger [censored] in the AFL right now. Staging, diving, over-celebrating, weak little dog.

Kudos to Jetta and Terlich. Their multiple efforts didn't go unnoticed or unappreciated.

His decision making stood out today. Under pressure, he does the right things.

Can't defend Watts today. His timidness is really starting to [censored] me, as are the halfhearted tackles and chases. All the skill in the world doesn't make up for those.

Agreed. The ease with which GWS got the ball out of the centre in the second quarter especially was worrying, verging on bizarre.

6. Byrnes - stood up at crucial moments in this match. 23 possies, 12 of them contested with 3 goals. A surprisingly rounded performance. Well done. 5. Trengove - 10 tackles, come to expect that, but worked hard going both ways. Massive role in this win. 4. Grimes - demanded the ball all day and generally used it well. Both captains clearly amongst the best. 3. Evans - boy oh boy wowee, we have a potential new regular starter. Works his arse off and has the skills to back that up. 2. N Jones - it's all been said. The man is great. 1. Gawn - never leave again, Maxy.

Last quarter was great to see, but we have to accept it was against a young team that simply ran out of legs. What gives me hope is our effectiveness, in general, once we get the ball forward. Even without Mitch it showed we have more avenues to goal than we have had for a few years. It means we should always be a sniff in matches, because we can take advantage of opportunities.

Yep, we've got a player there.

Cracks papered over. Good effort at the end. Still enormous question marks that linger. A win is a win.

Evans is a keeper!

It really shouldn't be.

Big Maxy Gawn.

This is Neeld's team and Neeld's product. He is accountable and should just accept that he's a square peg in a round hole at this club.

Byrnes has played very well to his credit.

I want Neeld gone. Christ this is awful.

Setanta kicks a bag..lol. Welcome to Melbourne footy.

I'm over Watts. Seriously. Attack the ball!!!

How can AFL players look exhausted by halftime?

Their mistakes and turnovers are keeping us in it.

Smashed in the centre.
