Hill’s running power is amazing.

And now magic hands from Phillipou. Silly game.

There've been lots of handballs into very heavy traffic but at least there is some intent to get the ball moving with some run.

Erm… thoroughly deserved lead.

That was not a very Higgins kick.

18 behind the ball is going beautifully.

Sinclair looks like he's still trying to shake the rust off a bit, but he's getting there. It was fortunate that Wilkie was excellent. As for the GWS game, it's... important not too peak too early in the season.

I thought he was trying to waste a bit of time. Didn't look to handball.

Still patchy but more consistent quick ball movement looks a more promising game plan. Some obvious improvement in a number of players. Owens back to what he really is after a poor showing last week. NW-M has come another stride or two. Windhager was excellent. Henry looks hungry and committed.

A lot of the problem today was how easily they rebounded from half-back. We didn't go in with enough system and we couldn't keep it there (after the first 10 minutes). But a lot of fight was shown and we weren't humiliated the way it looked like it was going to turn out in the second quarter...

Not giving it away. Unlikely to make it, but back off the mat twice is something. Owens, NWM, Marshall, Hill all giving it plenty.

Jones has been missed. Marshall and NWM huge. Some dumb play but more consistent effort.

Steele showing glimpses of his best.

A few weeks into the season I was surprised at our ladder postion. Now I am really surprised at our ladder position.

Who would have predicted this? Everyone, that's who. Ack
