1. Staker's game was excellent. As someone who hasn't been a fan of him I was very impressed. IMO our best player. Probably the first game I've seen from him where he's played to his potential under pressure. Moved between forward and backline throughout the game and played both roles with skill and poise.
2. There is a strong rumour that Judd hates Telstra Dome to the point of paranoia, if he did pick up a niggle last night that will reinforce that feeling in him. Not that I think he's leaving for Victoria at the end of the year but if he did he'd have to play there a lot.
3. Look at where our last three losses have been at. From WA to Tassie is like a 50 hour flight. Even in 05 when Hawthorn were crap we weren't that impressive there. The Cattery is a ground we have a woeful record at. Even last year when Geelong were at a low ebb it took our biggest comeback ever to win there. We are also bad at the Telstra Dome, but absolutely woeful there against the Bombers.
Our three worst grounds. Thankfully the GF isn't played at any of them, and we won't have to play at two of them again this year and hopefully next year as well.
Staker can be so good. If he gets some confidence in his game then watch out. He will star like no other. Very underrated.
Judd definetly got a real bad corkie.
What about Matt Rosa. Surely he deserves a mention. BOG last night
3 positives
C0x contuning great form...regaining his touch still
Priddis rise and rise
Staker actually showed he can play......why oh why was he shifted to the backline??

Very promising from Rosa. Got so much of it. Can't wait till he's more experienced and thus a better decision maker, how many times did he get the pill and the dance back and forward on the spot cos he couldn't decide what to do with it? hahaha :D will be a gun.
Priddis, Rosa, Staker and BJones were excellent last night.

Because Lucas tore Hunter a new one, kicked 5 on him. Staker did a good job on Lucas when he was moved to him
From WA to Tassie is like a 50 hour flight. .
Do you fly via the North Pole??:confused:
Or aren't you two heads down in Tassie aware that the Jet propulsion engine has been invented for over 50 years??

Was it staker who failed to hold an extremely crucial tackle in the last quarter in our full back? Had a good game in general but not when it counted there.

always thought bigger guys take longer to develop..he will arrive shortly

What is important is that Judd was injured and didn't play to his best. Kerr was well held. Lynch did nothing. Wirrpanda had his worst game for the year. Braun was well held. And we only lost by a point.
