As I pointed out, there was also the bizarre passage of play near the interchange gates where Witts, Nicholls and Day linked up impressively for what should have been a score.

That bizarre passage of play also involved Zac Smith, because he intercepted Young's pass towards Sexton. The big blokes all looked quite nimble really.

I wouldn't be upset about MacPherson playing round one. I think he is well suited to a pressure forward role and I liked the way he played last week. Likewise for Holman.

Weird though because I think it shows we might finally be moving towards a team based system where depth players can slot in with ease. If we play in the same style as last week on Sunday I'll be feeling very confident of a structured two way running Suns.

To be honest I was like Jesus I have never seen us play so organised and bring that much pressure ever. Makes me think like shit it's actually interesting that we managed to win games at all in the past... the sheer talent of our boys got us through for the odd win it seems.

Seeing Hall run as well defensively as he did offensively was somewhat of a barometer in my opinion. He was the epitome of our inability to run both ways.

The right Coach for the group can make an enormous difference. Absolutely massive difference.

Watching Hall lay two tackles in a row and then collect the ball was a true highlight of the game for me last week. Hopefully we see this type of pressure much more often.

I think we all were shocked. Also Hall had the best DE - 94% (11K 6H). But unless he plays like this the whole season I am still happy for him to follow Ablett to Cats.

Is it a contract year for Hall? He always plays better football in his contract years doesn't he?

the fact is HE CAN play like this and its clear now so its simply whether he chooses to as part of his game from now on, I think he looks better in the new outfit and no Gaz to influence him, might see him have a consistent year

I don't think he chooses to butcher the ball. I do think he chooses to be soft.

He needs to play a minimum of ten games where he shows desire to be at the ball and engage physically with the opposition before I will change my opinion on him.

One trial against a weak Handbaggers Franchise is encouraging but pretty meaningless to me.

Yes, in his interview Hall mentioned he is in no hurry.

Watching the interview I think he’s gone at years end

He was asked about Lynch and then his contract and he said something like “ there will still be money left for THEM if Lynch signs on”

Telling word is them not us

Short of Barlow, that is pretty much our full strength squad.

This board will do a MASSIVE 180 if we drop this game on the weekend

Yeah I thought the Board overreacted to last weeks result. It was encouraging and that was it.

The facebook page can be the same. Overreactions everywhere.

Yeah possibly, I don't anyone realistically thinks we are close to finals or anything, but were encouraged by stuff we saw that we haven't seen from our team in years, even if it is only 1 game.

Personally, if we are competitive this year and no 10+ goal losses I am happy with that. I suppose it will depend on the team Brisbane put out on Sunday as well. Should be a good day out for anyone that decides to go down!
