Seems like the Saints game plan was to work out how to win while kicking even more poorly than last week. 23 behinds is a joke.

That was painful. The falcon on the Lions ruck where you could hear him (from the 3rd tier) go "OHHH" as he saw the ball come towards his face was amazing.

Thank god for the win. I'd hate to think what the rest of my week would be like if we lost in that fashion.

At least Gresham was good. And Acres. Billings went missing again. Delivery was poo poo, so I'm willing to give McCartin the benefit of the doubt.

Pretty sweet goal from Murphy in the wet. Blues jumper is rad as gently caress.

Finally got home from the Saints game. So many behinds yet again. At least Billings got a lot of the ball and did some good stuff during the third where we won it, but missing like that is pretty woeful. Same goes for Dunstan. I can count the number of times I remember him kicking a set shot on one finger. Acres was good again. And Seb Ross. And Roberton. And Carlisle. And Geary, of course. Man of the match.

We have to kick straight one day, right?

Fyfe is so good. All of those late goals came from a stoppage where he got his hands on the ball and took a tackle while getting it to a teammate.

Gresh had a bit of a shocker today.

So did Dunstan. And Long. Can't really blame Long, of course, but if we're struggling to run out games, why is Dunstan playing just to sit on the bench for long stretches?

Those two frees in the first quarter were indefensible trash.

Periphery posted:

Yeah, they were all bad.

hosed if I know why we keep playing Dunstan when he can't run out games. It makes no sense to me. He struggles to play over 65% of games and it's his fourth or fifth year for fucks sake. Dunstan and Long have to be dropped for next week. Bring in Stevens and Sinclair who should both run out games better.

I'm also really, really, really sick of us wasting our time with Bruce as the 2nd ruck. It's killing his game and is a massive liability. We could try playing both Hickey and Longer, but neither of them have shown anything up forward. So imo we should bring in Marshall who can hopefully be a reasonable 2nd ruck and has shown in the VFL he's a more than capable forward (we can promote him due to Dempsters retirement). That'd also hopefully help free up Bruce to play a more running/leading style of game where he isn't caught wresting with defenders (something he's poo poo at) or going up against 2 defenders all the time.

I agree with all of this. I haven't paid enough attention to Marshall but I did hear good things about him. Does he have the capability to ruck? I noticed we had Carlisle down forward while Bruce was in the ruck. Did Essendon ever throw Jake into the middle?

There's no better atmosphere than a finals game at the MCG between two Victorian teams, but a big game at the Docklands with the roof closed can be pretty awesome. It just locks in all the sound and it's loving deafening.

I distinctly remember how loud it was for Wool's goal

Jimmy Webster is a beautiful thug boy.

I bet Josh Bruce is glad he had that kick during a nothing game.
