Could've actually hit the post

Could've actually hit the post

down to the bounce of the ball, i suppose.

it's preseason, it doesn't matter much, just would've been an insane goal

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

No Major Injuries!!!!

This was a fantastic win. So much to look forward to over the next few years.
Great game and nice to win in Geelong for such a long time. Well done bombers.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Alot of positives we can take from that game. Pressure was outstanding, felt like a quality game.

Apparently touched off the boot

 

[Nunez]

Didn't think it was possible for a player to announce themselves in a pre season game, but here we are.

 

[windyhill]

He all good?

Finished on ground

 

[Red Black and Blue]

The naysayers will say 23 scoring shots to 19 and we got lucky, but it just doesn’t feel like that reflects the way this game has gone at all.

They really shoot from everywhere, I thought we had a few chances we could have had shots but turned it over short. Jones and Langford off the top of the head. Hobbs with the easy OOB as well.

 

[windyhill]

We can not miss.

Barely. Bloody impressive.

 

[thepokey]

Not getting carried away, but yeah that was very nice

 

[silk]

Nice win,

Lore Just a heads up, I'll write an opening round preview tomorrow to get the ball rolling for the year, but I won't be able to do them for all of April essentially.

 

[Learntopray]

The forward pressure was fantastic. Kako, Gresham and co were everywhere.

Haha I have a post nearly ready as I remember you saying you weren't doing them early.

 

[Blind Turn]

Jones had a really really good game.

Prior was much better than I expected.

Hobbs, Setterfield, Tsatas, Caldwell and Duz all know how to get the first ball. Feeding Merrett, Martin, and Shiel bursting off HB is promising. Wish we had a LDU in there as well to give us a bit more polish

I liked the fact that most of our players showed something tonight other than maybe 2MP who was really just given a run-out for a qtr after the VFL game.

 

[MiguelM]

I liked we kept the ball moving in the back half. No more stop start.

From the fringe players, I thought Prior & Roberts looked ok.

Reid did some nice things as did Jones & Bryan worked into it.

No injuries is the big positive.

As it's nearly ready go for it. I was just going to rant about opening round; and I can do that in a post.

 

[fishardansin]

So, what are the odds on a VFL/AFL double flag?

 

[JayJ20]

Kako, Caddy, Edwards, Reid, Tsatas, Roberts. Very successful preseason I would say.
Also beat two of our bogey teams at their home ground. If nothing else, hopefully it boosts the team's morale heading into the season.

 

[windyhill]

Reid not injured !

 

[VelvetSledge]

Most pleasing thing is that our transition out of defence was actually fantastic

And we kicked 17.2 of course

Just watched the first quarter and the big take aways for mine;

• competitive; we keep on going; Effort? fitness? endeavour?
• team first; I think the moving on of Stringer will have a bigger impact than we think. Looks like we want to give it to and celebrate others success.
• skills &/or decision making. Not sure if we have 'improved' skills or if we are just executing better but we seem to be hitting targets better. Will revisit this in 4 months

Half time and the ability to keep going was again evident. A new found determination to fight back was on show.

Moments were taken by some of the younger brigade. Perkins, Caddy had big moments in front of goal, Hayes had some positive signs indolence.

Liked that we have depth in the midfield against a similarly sized midfield
