[lumpinee]

need to bring in Reid n a free agent key FWD over '26/'27 n its dynasty time again
off load Hopper after 2026 and pay part of his wage to the buyer

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Be honest, did you fly kick your TV screen in anger after we held on?

Moronic question

 

[captain cotch 9]

Baker was really aroused to get back to the g today

 

[GoTigers2015]

Out Green, Miller
In Alger, Gray

 

[Hounddd]

Moronic question

Any positives from today’s game? Completely legitimate question..

 

[tugga]

Banks is finally feeling at home at the level.
Composed, uses it well.

 

[aislegi]

Except he’d be in the top 3 of the b and f so na he’s going alright

Sign of the times.

He’d be nowhere in a B&F in a side that was playing good football.

 

[aislegi]

Coincidence?

No such thing.

Alas, we probably haven’t seen the last of him, have we?

 

[dothebowdenshuffle]

Wish we chose Van Rooyen

That crossed my mind too. 2023 as JVR is tearing it up and we're all thinking how did we come to take this spud Brown? That was early days and he'd building nicely into the player Hartley and co saw back in 2021.

Short out defintely gets my vote as a positive from the game

 

[Cdog71]

The one in 2019 was epic.

That’s in the Cdog top 5 H/A games of all time

 

[aislegi]

harley woulf be a gun for us get it done

No club that’s serious about having a ‘no dickhead’ rule could possibly have him on their list

Lol at the FW's disappointed we won. Ooooooh if they had. GAGF idiots. What we witnessed was the bottom team playing the third bottom team. The kids got some great learnings in. The line had us at 2.5 wins for the season. We are ahead of that, we're ahead of the people saying we wouldn't win a game for the year.
We are at ground zero. Enjoy the win. We all said it was gonna be ugly at the start of the year. Guess what. Ugly losses AND ugly wins. Go get some perspective.
We go into the next two games at least with a possibility of winning. At the start of the season, we couldn't even say that. Can't wait to read the gamed thread. I dare say it will be as embarrassing as the first 5 pages here.

It’s a positive when you’re a developing team, play poorly for the majority of the game and still find a way to win.

Think the Eagles were always going to come out swinging. Not just because of Baker, Graham and McQualter, but would see this as a possible win.

Credit to KPF’s; not sure they lost too many aerial contests. Banks was a good link up man but made some mistakes. Sims in the ruck battled away, but sure the lack of experience. Think it was Bailey Williams’ first goal where he should have swapped from the manning the mark after he gave away the too high on Reid. Also got under the ball too much on leads.

Centre bounce was bad. Eagles kicked 7.7 and their burst away from stoppage with their mids pushing forward was something we just didn’t stop. Lack of pace inside a culprit

We looked okay when switching and changing angles. But poor execution, or being to slow to read the next option also hurt us badly.

Feels like there were more negatives than positives yet still got the win. Which feels like the biggest positive.

 

[captain blood 17]

Desperately need a replacement for Hopper, too, was embarrassing to see him brushed aside so easily in a one-on-one with Reid at the back of the centre square

Yeah, the guy leading our B and F. Well thought out. Can I subscribe to your website and or newsletter please.....

 

[tiger_tough]

They also win if Oscar Allen plays

HAHA wtf? He wouldn't even be getting a game if he wasn't captain. That's how bad he's been going. We probably would've won by more.

 

[captain blood 17]

Moronic question

Of course it was a moronic question, because we know you did.

 

[tiger_tough]

need to bring in Reid n a free agent key FWD over '26/'27 n its dynasty time again
off load Hopper after 2026 and pay part of his wage to the buyer

Wot? That's the last thing we need.

 

[tiger_tough]

We played shit and still won. So that's good.

We’ll never be within cooee of a flag if Hopper’s our best player

 

[dothebowdenshuffle]

Also, can Tom Lynch sort his goalkicking out? The last 5 minutes would not have been so stressful if he kicked that goal 25 out on a slight angle.

Given Lynch turns 33 in October it's safe to say there's zero scope for improvement. We just have to appreciate him for his strengths.

 

[captain blood 17]

We’ll never be within cooee of a flag if Hopper’s our best player

Who in their right mind even thinks we are within cooee of a flag in the next 5 years? They clearly haven't been paying attention to the last 2 years and what we did in the off season. Hoppers there to educate and onfield coach with Taranto. Do you think we're in the premiership window in the next 4 years do you?

 

[peterand]

Out Green, Miller
In Alger, Gray

Yes not sold on Miller

 

[tunksy]

Shorty can take greens place up forward tbh

Dow can be the sub given there is no vfl

 

[Bojangles17]

Good win for the young fellas , learning to roll the sleeves up when needed.
Taswegians played well
Banksy I agree is looking comfortable at the level and starting to impact games
Nigel back to form that matters rather than nothing games
Seth was on edge of tearing the game apart
Thought jonty took up a step forward , was really involved with some qty possies sims looked like he knew what he was doing and competed admirably in the ruck
Oh and browny , oh boy didn’t realise he had the wheels
Well done lads ,
