Surely plays a full game next week - was unlucky to be dropped to the sub for tonight

But he is the perfect type of sub- high impact in a short time. I doubt he can actually run out a whole game, but without getting the opportunity, we might not find out.

Walking down the yarra away from the G and I can’t wait to read every single post and truly savour that victory. Feeling euphoric

It's the best walk when we win like a big game... and the worst when we lose.

They didnt have Grimes, Cotchin and Prestia... They are probably in their Top 7-8 players... We didnt have Dangerfield and O'Connor. I don't think Kolo was a loss at all !

Still got those one-on-one figures , catempire ?

Blimey, Selwood is having a good season.

Had a decent career now I think about it.

What all coaches should do is just listen to what Luke Hodge says in the first quarter and go tell their team to do that at quarter time.

You're spot on. Hated him playing for the Hawks, but he's one of the best footy brains going around. Would love him in our coaching ranks

Tigers fall to 8th nearly back in their natural habitat

Wait for the Suns to beat Saints. I think we'll see a return to normalcy after 4 long years

We won despite selections hey seeds!

Well How was I to know we were finally going to play more direct football. we havent done it for 6 years (bar the first half of the Collingwood semi final last year).

Jeremy Cameron is such a lovable player. Watch all the kids next year have the number 5 on their back.

He has a bit of a Motlop finger twirl for his post goal celebrations.

Great stuff.

Great win let’s back it up ! Jez big difference!
Stewart AA

A fabulous win (that I wasn't expecting when I saw the team line-up). Thought the Rat's inclusion was positive and Narkle deserves to play again (despite gifting Bolton goal). Top 5 votes will be tough decide.

Gripe: BT and the other idiots trying to make something out of Sel's hit. (Carey exempt - "he's going for the ball, he's allowed to protect himself - what else is he expected to do?")

Carey's a flog of a bloke, but he's pretty even handed in matters of football. Doesn't try to over-dramatise incidents like all the others

Stewart AA

Stewart just has to not get injured for the rest of the year and is a lock for AA number 3.

could very well be our half back flanker in our next team of the century.

 

[Generalissimo]

I missed the game - how'd we win this?

Better fitness, better skills. The players had the guts to take the game on, and put trust in their skills and in their teammates.

Richmond's contested, bullocky, "chaos ball" play style didn't rattle us and all they did was give away sloppy frees.

Dustin Martin had a shocker.

We won the midfield battle easily: more contested possessions, and we laid more tackles.

Disposal inside 50 was top rate.

Thinking this guy may have liked his first match at the MCG since Sept 2019

Go Cats. Yeehaa.

It certainly went better than his last game there

 

[frggr]

That bone crunching hit from Duncan was a thing of beauty. It’s a fine line going the bump these days but when they come of it’s great to see.

That's been missing from our game a bit over the last few years. Duncan, Selwood and even Ratugolea (inadvertently) laying some big ones

That young Richmond player shat himself at the thought of Hawkins bearing down on him too. It was beautiful.

 

[Seeds]

Great win but has to be tempered knowing their outs were significant. Put Grimes, Cotchin, Lambert etc back into that line up and they are far more formidable. But a win is a win and it should at least give us some confidence next time round.

Not really. We were missing danger, O’Connor, miers and then lost Simpson and dalhaus halfway through the game. richmond also Had a day extra break.

 

[Seeds]

Was he injured?

He was the sub.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Why is Lyon so animated by Geelong’s win?

He usually despises Geelong ???

Spending a bit of time watching the son in law has warmed him up to us

 

[Pollywaffle]

Absolute coaching masterclass from scott. Switching and changing the angles constantly just messed up the richmond defensive structures setup behind the ball.
What i reckon is becoming obvious is richmond have been badly effected by the rule changes of man on the mark. Not being able to slow us down and stop the change of angles and player running past has hurt their structures badly setting up behind play. Clubs on the wide MCG are able to cut through their defensive setup.

Let's not get too carried away..
Great win, but they have shown a capacity to rebound at the pointy end of the season.
Seemed a little disinterested at the end. Weird, dont trust those f*ckers just yet..

He is so calm.

Amazing development the Forwards kick goals!




As it should be. You can stick your structural crap Hardwick! Let the forwards be forwards!

Selwood on his way to another record

Not with Harry Taylor he ain’t ;-)
