Great win, Port tried to rough us up early but we’re quickly found wanting. We have now beaten the other 5 top 6 teams. Port are 0 & 4 against the top 4. TMac is in AA form. May is a star. Petty played his best game to date. Langdon continues to escape criticism for his goal awareness, its been lacking in recent weeks. Looks to rush his shots when he actually has more time to steady, missed two gettable shots last night. Oliver was nailing his shots a few weeks ago, his attempts last night were poor. Was really happy with Brown’s game, thought he should of been paid the mark (in the 2nd qtr?next to the goal square). We have a lot of attacking options up fwd now, goals will come for him, can’t stop them all, he should of played last week. Loved Fritsch’s goal.

Go the torp.

Little bit nervous but I think we have a much stronger team on paper. No excuses, want a start similar to that against the Dogs.

Dees Bombers Hawks Cats Lions Giants Dogs Tigers Eagles

Kozi.

Can’t be serious, Port aren’t that good. They’ve beaten Swans and Tigers, lost to Dogs, Lions, Cats and Eagles.

Strong team and we’re no taller than when we played the Dogs and Lions so that combined with Jackson’s athleticism I’m not sure what the issue is.

So many new threads all discussing pretty much the same thing…. Are we pretenders…. Time to panic…. The way I see it…. Is sitting on top a a bad thing…. As little over a month ago we dismantled both the Dogs and Lions in spectacular fashion. We blew the dogs away in the first qtr/half before they could even get going. We trailed the Lions by 20 at half time before kicking 9 goals to 3 in the second half. We did all of this with Weideman lining up at full forward, (I don’t want this thread to become derailed) I thinks it’s fair to say he didn’t have a massive impact on either of those two games when the win was effectively set up, he was subsequently dropped as we know after the Collingwood game. So I don’t subscribe to the theory that we’re going to be too tall when Ben Brown lines up this week. Not only will TMac and Fritsch benefit from playing on the 2nd and 3rd best defender, our smalls will also benefit. When TMac marks 60 out from goal and turns around he’ll no longer be bombing it in to Spargo and Kosi instead he’ll have Brown leading at him out from the goal square. I believe Brown will be a game changer for us as we embark on the run home to the finals. This Thursday night is a very winnable game against Port, I could of got this wrong but looking back through this years games their biggest scalp is the Swans by 10 points only 2 weeks ago, also Richmond by 2 points in rd 4. They’ve been beaten by the Eagles, Lions, Dogs and Cats.

I can live with the loss to Collingwood, after back to back wins against the Dogs and Lions and the bye the following week we had already checked out. The losses to the Crows and Giants didn’t have to happen. Barring injury i want Ben Brown to come in for the remainder off the season, every other forwards game will be better off with him being in the side.

Played 9 games last year due to injury. Did more in his first two games against North and the Swans than Weid did in his five games.

I needed that, thanks.

Just waiting now for someone to tell us that they’re happy for Brown to come in next week but only for a block of four games.

And the rain continues to come down.

That’s crap, why didn’t Himmleberg snap it around his body.

?

TMac is an excellent set shot, why do that crap from that far out.

After the missed snap around the body I would like to retract my earlier statement….? Why do they do that, he was basically straight in front.

Massive goal from Lynch, in context of the game and a massive kick all be it straight in front. That’s what key forwards bring.

Forward pressure v scoreboard pressure.

For those of us not watching…. Straight in front or deep in a pocket, rough distance? cheers

Thanks to everyone’s reports, I’m stuck at work so enjoying the updates.

Crew cut?

We got a great run with umps tonight, but we’ll take it. Was it just me or were a lot of players struggling to make the distance with their shots. Time for Ben Brown to get a run.

Absolute stupidity.

At least 4 occasions a tall fwd leading out of the square was needed.
