You can summarise the whole article as "Nice win on the weekend, let's see if you can do it again this week".
Pretty easy game to play week to week if you ask me.

Exactly, also who is drinking bathwater? No one has come out spruiking that either side is going places just yet.You can summarise the whole article as "Nice win on the weekend, let's see if you can do it again this week".

I dunno but whoever that was isn’t much of a confidante!Anyone know who he's alluding to in the below snippet?
Remember the old Whispers In The Sky controversy? Is it happening again? I’m hearing stories of a confidante of a current AFL coach revealing on a plane that his contracted mate could be looking to relocate...and is open to offers from other clubs next year.

Positive: It's safe to say, we are no longer vanilla.
And here are some Venables highlights.
Also for those wondering I like to include all involvements of a player, even if it is negative. That's why you'll see him getting caught HTB twice in the video. I think it gives you a better idea of the player, including his flaws.
Cheers
Hey guys,
I wasn't happy with the sub 2 minute Liam Ryan show reel, so I made an extended version.
After following him in the WAFL for the past couple of years I have to say I am pumped to see him at AFL level, where he belongs.
Also have a Venables vid done if you would like.
One thing I love about Rioli is how he got around his teammates all game to celebrate their own successes. Good team player.
Thanks for the sketchers then matePositives
Nic Nat- What he brings to our team is enormous, elite ruck work, you can see our mids are on the move more at the contest compared to last year. His 2nd effort work around the contest is fantastic, his tackling is scary and his want for the ball sets an example all our mids to follow. even scarier is that he's running at 50% at the moment.
Venables- Speed and strength is something we have not had a for a while, also loving the fact he is prepared to take the game on, even if he gets caught from time to time, at least it shows some daring, as he gets used to AFL pace he will know when to do it and when not to.
Rioli - Did not set the world on fire, but showed glimpses of what we need in or forward line once he gets some match fitness, you can see he has the evasiveness in a crowd which will create a lot of chances for himself and the other forwards.
Ryan- I'll be honest i wasn't sure if he could take the next step, and whilst he still has a way to go on the defensive side of the game, he gets lost out there in the web and knowing where to be, he adds another x factor to our forward line, kicked a bit straighter yesterday and would have been a massive day for him. Yes he flies too much, but that is his strength, so he should use it as much as possible
.
Hurn- Back to his kicking best in the last two games.
Lycett- Will only get better, with each game he plays, always provides a physical contest and like Nic when he tackles they hurt.
Negatives
The web, will get carved up by better teams.
Gov is still not playing his best for mine, dropping marks he would normally clunk, that is also a positive though, once he clicks back to his usual form watch out opposition forward lines.
Cripps- Only goes when it suits him, sitting behind the goals yesterday he does not work hard enough to chase down the ball leaving.
Me- Purchased some new skechers before the game at the DFO at Spencer street on sale down from 129 to 29, and in all the joy of the win got up and left my seat to go on the ground, leaving them on the seat next to me , only remebering them about an hour later sitting in the after match function in the victory room. Headed back to where i was sitting and they were gone, very ordinary effort on my behalf.
Summary
Yes the Dogs are crap right now, but we pantsed them, can't do anymore than that. Was a good win interstate regardless of opponents, can only breed confidence in the team. I'm certainly happy i got see a win in Melbourne, have not seen them very often over here.
Our forward line has huge upsides with JK coming back, teams won't be able to double up on him now with the options we have around him.
Backline looks very good and settled, we have a good mix , two big key defenders-Gov and Barrass, some speed and youth- Duggan and Nelson, who will get better with games played, and some experience in Jetta, Sheppard and Hurn.
Mids- How good is it to have two good ruckman, yep Bulldogs have nothing,but even the good teams don't have two good ruckman who go as hard as ours and can give you an option up forward. Also i'm enjoying the different combo's in there roving to these guys, compared to last year when it was very much the same all the time.
I still don't see finals for us just yet, but certainly won't be a bottom four team.

I'm happy to say i did ring Etihad on the Tuesday after the game, and to my shock someone had handed them in to security and i got them back.
That's because no one wanted them and also the reason they were so cheap.I'm happy to say i did ring Etihad on the Tuesday after the game, and to my shock someone had handed them in to security and i got them back.
Report for this game will be uploaded sometime tonight after today's game.
Bad week. Kid in hospital (doing alright now however).
