I was busy thursday night and I keep coming on bigfooty to see if the game has been uploaded. I really can't wait to see it. Sounds like Heeney was really influential (something like 80% DE with half of his 30 odd possesions contested according to the footylive app) but I'm really curious to see how Parker Hanners and Kennedy played. As well as some of the players like Hewett and Jones who were statistically below their best, but you don't get stats for cracking in and competing hard.

Yeah nah. Reminds me of deluded Hawthorn supporters saying our 2012 flag was tainted because of COLA.
Georgie boy did an instrumental shut down job on Johannisen.
I was really pleased with him. Parkers influence wasn't communicated by the stats either, I thought he had a great game. I can't believe how good Heeneys hands are, he is going to get better and better. I reckon He'll poll 5-10 brownlow votes by the end of the season. Such a shame glandular stopped him from hitting the ground running.
I'm not down playing Towers and the contribution he has been making recently which has been quite encouraging but what I am saying is Nankervis will not be one iota of difference between a win and a loss in this game. He is physical and hard working at best. He impacts the game just a little more than he did when he had opportunity at the Swans. The hooplah by media and other quarters about his performance this year is way over the top. To make it clear,he is no great loss.

We earnt it in 2012 with 2-1 penalty count against and Goodes injured for 2 and 1/2 quarters. Dogs had it handed to them.

It's a long time since I've enjoyed watching a replay as much as I did this one. Found myself constantly chuckling with our boys going the niggle. Dogs won't beat us again anytime soon.
Thought we were actually a lot better against the Saints when we just controlled the tempo and played keepings off, but absolutely love our boys when they become the hunters rather than the hunted.
Lukey is a beast when he plays angry.... happy to concede the 6 for the bone cruncher on little Caleb.
I like JJ playing against anybody else, but the poor bugger looked like he just wanted to get outta there. Our Boy George was fantastic.... hope he remembers the formula.
Not enough love for Slammin' Sam Naismith here.... only a matter of time before he starts clunking those marks and adding a goal or two a game to go with his efforts in general play.
"Bambi" grew some antlers!!! Took 3 strides to make up 10 metres to pressure Daniel into his turnover kick to Buddy and again later on, not sure who it was, but Sam gave him a gobful to go with it. Most graceful player in the comp for mine... just seems to do things so easily.
Little Tommy Gun.... what can ya say? Love him throwing his 80kgs around in the middle. Speaks volumes that he makes the effort to get out to watch the rezzies I think.
Heeney is a rolls Royce. Millsy doesn't need to be asked twice to play angry lol. Lloydy becoming one of our most valuable....
Looking forward to a cracker game next Saturday. More of the same please
Edit: super excited about young Heywood too. How good will he be with another 40/50 games under his belt?

So he did and I would let him run with Martin this week to see if he could at least half the contest which would go along way to us winning as he always seems to accumulate against us. Keeping him in check forward of center is imperative.

Interesting techniques when compared. Reid has his hands very close together whilst Naismith looks like catching a beach ball. Maybe why SN drops a lot. Need to create the cradle/bucket earlier.Sam did take a couple of nice marks
Edit: took one mark for the match

I'm not sure the constant niggling would make Martin go into his shell like it did JJ.

Yep. The went to water when we got the game in hand. If we had have kicked straighter earlier, this would have occurred earlier. Not terribly fussed though. I'd have taken a 1 point win against those chuckers.
Im not
I'm not suggesting he apply the same tactic but going with him in a run with role, using his good body strength around the contest and harassing him may frustrate him and keep his possession to reasonable figures which may curb his impact on the outcome.
