Was the most influential on the ground for us
Thought he had a presence in most contests and shouldve ran in to kick a goal in the 3rd quarter instead of centering it to Tex. Glad we came out winning
ugly win though

Serve that up next week and a 60+ point thrashing will be in order.

Very very lucky.
Any other team with a bit more mature of a forward line would've ran us over halfway through the game.
Credit to the boys on the fightback though. Before the tackling and running wasn't in it and they stepped up at pretty much the final moment they could hit the switch.

Well done Thommo 34 touches. He does it so often that the novelty wears off. One of the best players the AFC has had
they gotta work out what happened in the third quarter... besides the crappy umpiring... actually it was crap all game... seems the holding the ball rule just changed again.
Brenton Sanderson this coaching business is easy 2 out of 2
It is what it is. There are always immature areas in any team.
I'm actually glad we were pushed. It means that we will working deficiencies. If it's all easy we don't learn.

I had hoped all our dudes performing in the SANFL would inspire the lower end of the 22 (Otten, Petrenko, Callinan) to play better. A bit disappointing.
Shaw, Jaensch, Martin, Lyons must be close to displacing them.

Bloody hell. Throw that 3rd quarter up against a top 4 side and we're toast.
Work rate dropped off for 30 minutes after half time.
Love how Porps shone at the end.
Reckon we got dragged down a level too.
I'll take the win
p.s.
Umpires were shit. As were the totally biased Victorian commentators

Completely naive to think the mature bodies at the Bulldogs weren't going to come at us at some stage.
Good win. We would have found a way to lose that in the past.

Otten and Richie out.
In? Martin and another small, maybe Jaensch. We seemed a bit slow at times.
It has long been my theory that the Umpires have been instructed not to listen to the crowd at Football Park and so they often don't pay the frees that they otherwise may have called.
Think Dougy and Hendo need to be rested regardless and Otten needs to be dropped.
Porps should be our sub as he only seems to be performing in the last qtr anyway.

Agreed. Griffen, Dalhaus and Murphy made us look pedestrian at times
But we also play a very attacking style of game, so we were out of puff in the 3rd and that made us slower again. Thank **** we got a 2nd wind for the 4th
It would be bloody hard not to be swayed by the crowd at AAMI and I think you're right, they probably overcompensate.

Not sure why people are bagging Petrenko's game; he had a good first half, kicked two goals and set up one or two right? Even if it was only a good quarter, actually, did Dangerfield really do much better? Let's be fair if we're gonna be picky.
Definitely. In fact, I don't think we would have 'found a way'. I can't remember any game in the last two years where we came back after the other team fought back into it.
We haven't won ugly for a long time and I, for one, am glad to see it.
Whoever it was that said this is a more defining game than the Hawthorn one was dead right. We could get absolutely flogged by the Hawks next week and it won't mean as much to our season as this one. Of course, if we win....

It was scrappy, it was ugly, but we did it. I had flashbacks to the numerous times we had coughed up a comfortable lead in the Craig era. Thank god we stuck through it. Should have packaged the game up much earlier, it was astounding how many gettable misses there were.

dermott brereton the most anti adelaide commentator ive ever heard tonight on fta.
It's not a theory mate. I've been inside the umpires rooms before games and heard them very clearly tell each to 'not listen to the crowd' and 'shut out what the crowd wants'. It's a fact.
Which results in them going against the crowd's response ... even when the crowd has it 100% right.

no prizes for guessing who the commentators wanted to win
bulldogs this, giansiracusa that. they're so wonderful and the best and omg. deplorable bias.
good win though. grinded it out when we had to.
