Agreed. He's also just a great foil for Cameron. Has the legs and the height to go with him.

What are your feelings / thoughts on Billings. Im not sure he's bringing that much anymore. Does Bowey come in and switch some positions around to replace him.

I reckon you also have to take into account the stage of the game and the importance of the game. Super late in the 4th , less than a goal the difference, 4 v 1 ( with 1 unbeaten) is a big time in a big game. Jacko kicked that scissor goal as part of a big win against the roos just before 3/4 time. I vote for Fritters

Huge challenge off 5 days here. Prob the only disappointment last night for mine was Billings. Think he needs a rest.

So many unexpected things are making that win and this season exciting. 1./ How’s the new guys?! Howes can really play and is a cool head. Windsor is now doing it in big games. such a clutch tackle and goal. Woewodin is solid at least and Turner looks threatening. Then a few older guys I didn’t expect much of in 2024 are clicking. Petty is officially back and influencing games. Great grabs anll night. Oliver casually racks up 30 plus while still returning to his best and Tmac matched arguably the games best player Cameron all night . Yes Cameron missed 2 uncharacteristically late but even so Tmac I think had nullified him on balance. 2./ Also thought our approach to the game tactically and physically was brilliant. kudos to the brains trust. 3./ Dees aren’t yet favourites in 24 but there’s nothing between us and others claiming that. 5 guys in the team with very few games ( that’s a mini rebuild)!and we beat the top seed… we’re only going to get better.

It’s been easy to forget just how good he is. He was huge tonight… he’s back.

it hurts doesn’t it. the problem feels all too familiar

we’re lucky they also have butchered their opps. but reckon we should be 3 goals up.

he’s such a moron isn’t he! my ears are become allergic.

Dermott Brereton must be the worst most arrogant voice out there. Offers zero but a stupid opinion. unwatchable

This was us 10 years ago… couid be us again one day. We need to support the roos not dig their grave.

I think hawks fans just expected another epic rebuild a la clarkson lucking out with roughead and franklin , jordan and rioli etc etc. Hope they’re down for a decade.

congratulations WCW, let’s hope she thinks goody is the right guy. ;-)

Grab a proper home training venue like caulfield and win another flag and I reckon we could be right up in the top echelon.

Here I was coming on to demonland to enjoy the win. Sheesh. I’ve seen enough dees games over the years to know you celebrate 42 point wins.

I think he's a gun ...or would be in a different team. And...this is what everyone said about all of our players for so long. If he's leaving we should def be enquiring.

Love to know if injured or rested. Hoping its the latter.

yep… and again in 89.

yes quite right re 89 not 88! We came back from our GF thrashing in 88 to win the pre season night series. Regardless of weeks missed though , I don’t think either player, Wight or Hughes was quite the same post those injuries.

I think back on that era and teh cost of winning the 88 night grand final against the cats. Both Wight and Hughes did major hamstrings. They both returned after lengthy rehabs but were never the same after. I reckon it cost us a flag. Not in 88 as the hawks were on another level but in 89 , 90 when we were right in the mix.

Port are a serious contender imo. They got poleaxed yesterday but by the end of the year I think they will be right in the mix. But overall point taken. Blues off 5 days makes the Cats game even bigger...and yes putting the tigers away early would definitely be helpful!

well as much as I hate to say it… pies on the G are going to be very very hard to beat from here on.

Could be why Turner now playing forward?

Players have got to have their lives too. I doubt a cooking demo does anything but make him happy.

Or if Kozzie, Fritter, Langdon and Tmac had kicked the goals they would kick 95% of the time versus the pies in that final! Cue similar question v blues the next week. So close...but so far.
