Great half of football.

I'd lock down on Stevie J. Getting too much space.

Good to see Monster performing well. He'd be top five on the ground at the moment.

Clarkson obviously agrees

Can't believe we traded a bloke who was on 450 k and playing in the reserves and a bloke who didn't play a game for 2 years.

 

[SMaturin]

Your goal, stevie j. Twat.

 

[Dirty_11]

I have no doubt we can match it with both these sides if we bring our best.

[Heaps of fun]

So does Hawkins get reported for that?

I've never noticed before but riloi is a real little sniper

Great minds.

Pet hate of mine: the overuse of the term 'read it well'.

I understand it's applicability, but farken hell it pisses me off how it's used every time a crap kick favours one player to the extent that it disqualifies all others from getting to the contest.

'Geez he read that well!'

No he didn't, he was standing 5 metres behind the pack before the kick was made, and the ball then went 10 metres beyond the pack...pretty much into his hands.

Cheney on Hawkins was always a recipe for goals.

Hawks and cats shows how far away we still are. We have no consistency, too many players go missing far to often and until this changes we will continue to be middle road.

Got to admire Cheney's endeavour though. A rare case of de-Melbournisation.

Enright is still an out and out gun. It's ridiculous.

Yet we were competitive against both last year and could have won all 4 games against both.

Bit of a chip scab liability this quarter, Gibson.

Yep but they win games and play consistent and give themselves a chance to win all games.

Not just that, but they go to another level in big games.

It does give some merit to opposition supporters when they say we beat good teams that weren't at their best.

Collingwood in rd 24 last year, both close games against Hawks last year. If hawks and Geelong bring that kind of footy against us (and inevitably in the finals) I question our ability to match it with them. We have a fair bit of work to do yet.

This attitude shits me when it comes from our own. We beat teams because we play top football and don't let the opposition play to their strengths. Why is it so hard to acknowledge good performances from the club but so easy to throw s**t at the club when we lose.

 

[shinboner magic]

We are 3-4 seriously good footballers off this level consistently.

I seriously think we are 3 years away from this level.

Not till Drew,Wells,Boomer and other senior players are gone.
And replaced by the likes of Cunners,Ziebs and others as senior players will we be primed for a real crack at the top.

Still feeling the pain from the laidley era.

It's not about how many individually good footballers we have. It's about how they play together; how they trust each other, how they work for each other.

Not at all mate, I'm one who always supports the club. A little too much sometimes. Never said a bad word about Scott or Drew.

I'm just saying there is a question mark over our group and our ability to lift another level. Watching today's game I was in awe at the constant pressure and skill on display from both sides. When one side looked out of it, someone would drag the team back into it. Was neck to neck all day and a pleasure to watch.

Either way, I think we still have awhile to go to reach that standard and. As it stands, if Geelong or Hawthorn play their absolute best (attacking and defensively) and we play our absolute best, they will beat us. I won't shy from that fact.

One of my faves Enright..... I still hold out hope that JMac can become his type.

Was looking like he was taking it up a level before the leg fracture.
