Ok I watched it. I actually don't think it was too bad. They threw A LOT of pressure at us. If you had have told me at the start of the game their pressure game would be that high I'd have pencilled us in for a loss.

Mid forward connection however is the pits.

I can't remember the last time where we had a awful quarter (2nd) and we took it, and never gave up.

Almost like "throw anything at us and we wont give up". Give us 270+ pressure, lay 92 tackles, doesn't matter we will keep going.

That's the most impressive thing about the win. A scrappy but Shinboner win.

last 3 games against the pies:

7 point loss
35 point loss
1 point loss

Probably due for a flogging tbh

They certainly are.

We had some good plays all day but this was my favorite.

Yep.

I know they're a lower ladder side as well but they threw everything they had at us and we still held on. That is something the boys needed to do imo.

Carlton absolutely went to water and never made it back after the Tiges did the same thing to them. We've been tough this last month. Skill errors and forward entries really let us down.

 

[Its a Process]

Rewatched the game last night - I thought our first half of the last qtr was nearly as good as our 1st quarter, we just didn’t take chances. George missed a very gettable snap, Jy and Jack missed set shots.

We could have been 3-4 goals up and the game would have been shot but that just ain’t the NM way.

Other points from the rewatch

• Corr actually started brilliantly, took a hanger and used it beautifully. Unfortunately lost his way in the 3rd and cost us dearly.
• Caleb was much better. Great goal assist to Cam and a great kick to LDU with 4 minutes to go the highlights.
• Pink’s come forward defense in last qtr was match winning
• Sheez was very fumbly, still made a contribution but wasn’t clean.

Rest has been said - looking forward to hopefully getting Curtis back and maybe seeing Ford trialled down back.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Anyone calling for Darlings head recently needs to apologise, he was epic.

Sorry, Jack Darling

 

[Passmore]

Certainly beats losing or drawing.

We haven't had many moments to enjoy over the last 5 years. When we do have them, I'll enjoy them.

I'm not sure it was that lop-sided, I reckon there was more of us than them. But plenty of ours left from half time onwards.

I'm in aisle 31 normally, so I can't see what's above me and the Swans may have dominated that.

I was on the level 3 wing. They dominated that level and to a slightly lesser extent level 2. Was staggered, really. We had a great showing in an away game against the Dogs, and then that Sydney game happened a few weeks later. Ah well. Can only give kudos for turning out, I spose

Watching the end of the game back, there isn't a whole lot of visible jubilation at the siren. There's a bit of hugging and whatnot, but the looks on their faces suggest they know it was a pretty ordinary final three quarters. Suggests to me that they're inching, inching towards being normal footy players again. A state of being where a win is no longer cause for the 80-year old wine bottles to be cranked out and sight is lost of the trajectory they're trying to attain, because **** everything, we finally won a ****ing game.

A good sign imo

Two things. Pink didn’t have to body Lynch out of the way because Lynch was too busy throwing himself into the air to get a free kick. And the “controversial” non OTB call in the last quarter wasn’t any more controversial than the ridiculous one that was called against LDU earlier the game when he was clearly passing the ball to a teammate running ahead of him and it bounced the wrong way.

 

[Horizons_00]

The win will have tons more impact than that melb win.

We haven't given up in any game in the past month. The more we do this the more it becomes a habit!

And we will only get better if we have more experience. We will grow more confident in those high pressure environments.

But we need to be in them. We are so used to being thrashed

I would rather a tough win than an honourable loss. A few takeaways from the game:

Colby - Much better as a forward than a backman. Has goal-sense in spades.
Xerri vs Nank was epic. Xerri got the points in a ruck battle for the ages. Both were huge.
Much better week from Darling, followed up nicely from last quarter of last week.
CZ got the benefit again of having Maley in the team.
Love Maley's pressure acts, tackles like a machine, can mark, can kick goals, glad he is getting his chance.
Looked like Pink finally found his groove in the last qrt, looks head and shoulders above some of our other key backs. Took charge and won us the game. Was Thommo-esque.
Sad day for Corr and Scott. Scott needs to go back and play some ressies. Completely lacking confidence. Needs to develop some tackling technique. Daniel tackles well for a small man, needs to spend some time with Scott, Hardeman and Colby to improve their technique. Corr gave away too many frees.
Felt sorry for Duursma. Sub is such a difficult role. He flew when he had the chance but not much you can do in a quarter and a bit.
Lalor is scary good.
It was an ugly game to watch but both sides seemed content to just equalise and grind it out. After half time it was like both sides were trying to save the game.

We want to be better. That's what it tells me. Which is a fantastic thing to see

Yep. I love that they fought this win out.

Agree. The value of persistence is being recognized. Pink persists. Hardeman persists. Daniel persists ( he should be cut some slack because teammates give him the ball in horrible positions and expect him to create a miracle albeit the odd one gets effed up.)
We have been too much on the hyperbola curve and need to flatten it out to win regularly.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Interesting how the on-ball roles were shared rather equally between five midfielders yesterday.

Powell, Jy and Sheeze got more on-ball time at the expense of LDU, Wardlaw and Parker.



Particularly curious as LDU achieved his third highest number of clearances for the year with little more than 2/3s of the midfield time he's had in recent games.

It's not just the bump.. it's the ability to trap the footy from going over the line as well. **** I love him
