Sorry to quote myself but did anyone else hear the great man
Just watched the replay, Hall asked Thommo about Sando being animated and what the message was, he wanted us to run the game out.

Good:
the lads who had bad season last year (Wright, Mackay, Jacobs, Jaensch) all playing well backing up from last week
Danger is finally back to normal
Smith.... need I say more
Bad:
Missing Dougie for the next couple of weeks, although that was a ripper bump
4 beers for $34.00
Ugly:
The hangover I currently have

Might have been ten metres by the time he was sprawled. When he was hit the ball was within five metres IMO.
I can understand his frustration with the lack of run towards the end considering the occasion. Thomo deserved a big finish. But his interview after the match suggested his overall praise for the teams efforts to win every quarter in the last 2 weeks, ucontested possession is up and the young backline without Rutten did very well against a talented forward line.

Solid win with lots of pluses. Jury still out on how we go against teams who pressure us for four quarters. Douglas gone for two but don't mind the mongrel.
On the good:
I agree 100%. He'll be making an appearance in my fantasy/DT/SC team very soon
Bad:
Small forwards will have games like that. But it was important that he still managed to get our other players in the game. Had a ton of goal assists and still got a sausage roll for himself. He won't kick 3-4 every week, but if he can do what he did yesterday when he has a "quiet" game, our other forwards will benefit greatly. He also drew a few defenders away from our other forwards too
Ugly:
Really? That's disgusting! Very poor form by those that left

Agree.
For those saying Douggie should get off, imagine if it were ward who cleaned Douglas up like that. Would you still be saying fair hit, or screaming for a couple of weeks?
Take the red, yellow and blue coloured glasses off people.

You must have been watching a different game to me.
He had a hand in 4 or 5 goals either through his pressure around the play or quick reflexes. He doesn't have to kick them himself to impact the game.
Not his best game but far from bad IMO.
I think he will give it a rest this week. Wait till another Vic player gets suspended.
Good
A win for Thommo's 250th
Coaching / team structures the last 2 weeks. Good to see Laird played up forward and Smith & Mackay playing more through the midfield where they can be more damaging, than being left in defence permanently.
Hartigan, what a colossus man on man
Dougy's bump ( I sure his defence will be that his goulies made him do it
)
Jenkins standing up 2 weeks in a row and kicking goals
Funny
Umpire shepherding Betts in the forward 50
Ugly
First 15 minutes of the game
Goal umpire calling for score review for a behind when he thought the player (Hartigan) had marked the ball. Then signalling a behind when the field umpire told him it was goal umpires decision.

Douglas will get two or three for that hit. It was further off the ball than people are suggesting. Not that bothered. Sometimes necessary to teach a dirty mongrel a lesson by squaring up the next time you meet.

Thought Hampton probably had the better of him but I was being a bit harsh.
I would be very surprised if that umpire isn't dropped for next week's game - that was just plain embarrassing. The fact that he needed to refer to the 3rd umpire in the fact is sheer incompetence - it was plainly obvious that that the mark was taken in front of the line. Fair enough, if he thought that Hartigan may have juggled the mark, but that wasn't what he asked to review. Then to get the signal completely and utterly wrong, after being told that his original decision (the mark being taken) stood, was just more incompetence.
2 or 3, reduced to 1 due to a good record (25% discount) and an early plea (another 25% discount).

Yep... I agree lacked mongrel for a long times... Should ring dank and get some angry pills sent to the club. Jenkins went over to dougie quick when the scuffle started would of liked him get inbetween dougie and the bigger gws player to really fly the flag but dougie seems to be able to handle himself
He originally signalled a behind. Then went to the review saying he thinks it's a mark. THEN signalled a behind again.
Complete shambles. He and the ump who laid a block for Eddie will probably miss next week at least.
I think Betts is worth every cent. It's good to finally have a smart crumber with genuine smarts and creativity. Gets a lot of assists that go largely unnoticed.
I noticed them. Said about half way through 'Geez, Eddie's been involved in a lot of goals"

Watch the replay. He originally starts tapping his chest to signal a behind then asks for a review on the basis that he thought it was a mark!
The good
- Crouch jr. Super game and stepping right up to the highest level right away. Hes going to embarris a number of big,footy posters and AFL club recuiters before his time is up.
- JJ. Ive been hard on him, well because he just keep playing at an average level and not stepping up. Now its two games in a row he has played a high level forwards game. This could be the starting point of his best form.
- Sauce. Really great game from him, and also off the back of another last week.
- Thommos best game since 2012. What legend of the club.
- Danger was at his brutal best both in the middle and getting goals. Three brownlow votes no doubt.
- Smith again with a nice game.
- Hartigan showing he is ready to take over Ruttens spot.
- Pets showing the type of form that has had me a believer in him. Maybe he is learning the game from Betts, cos if he gets his game going he is going to be a brutal hitting, goal scoring small forward.
The bad
- Douggy most likely getting a holiday.
The ugly
- Cant think of anything for now.

It wasn't a good look and it just takes so long for the review.
I think we should only have a score review for goals, not behinds.
He originally signalled a behind. Then went to the review saying he thinks it's a mark. THEN signalled a behind again.
Complete shambles. He and the ump who laid a block for Eddie will probably miss next week at least.
I believe Crow-eater has summed it up - a complete shambles. The umpire in question demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of the rules and a degree of incompetence rarely seen at this level. One can only wonder how he even got to umpire at state league level, let alone the AFL. He clearly didn't realise that marking the ball in front of the line, and being carried over by momentum (after the mark had been completed), does not result in a behind being scored.
