Go to the Twitter vision. Underneath is another piece of footage taken by a Blues fan. Something like "worth sitting in the rain all day to get this angle of Newnes' goal". Watch Cripps and co heading over preparing to console him. Then tearing off after him for the pile on. Such unbridled joy.
 
Ahhhhh the morning after 🥳

Absolute shizenhouzen game, But a win is a win albeit so bloody ugly.

I hope the boys really learn from that game.

Was very upset during the game, we should have iced that game way earlier but our lack of composure cost us dearly.

Teague made some good moves, which was long overdue, I suppose I should give him a little slack. I think his calm exterior can drive me nuts at time but then again calm heads do prevail.

All those players I berated in th3 first half shone through in the second half which was nice.

All except Eddie 😢

He won’t be dropped for next week but in my opinion needs a very strong end to the season to play on. Don’t get me wrong love the man as a human being but his output the last 5 weeks has been questionable at best.

Walsh is a god dam maniac .... kept us in it with his brilliance. Loving Fish on the ball, one of Teague great moves, but please when will this SPS in defence experiment end??? Enough is enough.

Cripps may have turned the corner in the second half. Needs to get to his fighting weight of last year .... another experiment gone horribly wrong.

Smurph, Simmo .... could be rested next week, rather than omitted, great servants of the club and should be treated with respect .... I feel for Murph .... was never the same after that shoulder injury .... will never forget of forgive what happened. His bravery can never be questioned but that shoulder injury left him with scars that never healed.

I'm not sure it's all about Cripps' weight. To my eye, there is something clearly bothering him.

Seems to me that Russell built up the players for one type of season and the competition was handed over another type of season.
That may be wrong, but whichever way now there's been a little time for adjustment and if indeed our fitness base has been cranked up via the pre-season, we should start seeing the effects of that if other teams start tapering off.
 
For those interested in the stats:

Walsh’s last 6 weeks Champion Data rating has him operating at Top 30 in the comp standard. Very hard to do on the wing as they only classify you as ‘mid’ and compare you to other mids.

I think he’s in better form now than last year. Him playing wing is a ‘bad for him, great for the club’ decision.
7 clearances tonight. He is too good for the wing imo. It depends what we are trying to achieve. If we are trying to make players earn their spot then he should be playing mid, if we have an eye to the future but still trying to win he should be playing mid, if we are simply trying to win games then he probably stays on the wing.

Darcy is the flogggiest of all flog commentators.

Absolute pea brain who adds ZERO to the commentary of a match.

He’s lucky 7 have Jobe Watson as well - makes Darcy sound like Einstein.
Can’t stand the way he say

Doesn't back himself...

Think Bolts got into his head, i.e. play safe, and don't screw up...

Needs some licence to flair -- he can do it.
I think some of those horrible holding the ball calls against him are plaguing him. He looks scared to take possession and when he does he looks rushed.

Nah mate, if the free is given at the point of kicking the ball it’s where it’s kicked from. If the free is after the kick it’s downfield. Been like that for as long as I’ve been watching football.

The only query is the free, maybe was though not convinced and if it was against us I would have lost my sh*t completely. It’s one of few areas of umpiring that is generally consistent so if you are looking at the game as a whole then it’s play on.

Now that I finally comprendo what the sweet jumping Jehova happened,
It's even better.
There may be a tiny mystery around how Newnes got it... :D
But
That Goal.

The day after....still pinching myself that what I saw was real! Following our side can be tough on the heart - 4 of our 5 wins could have gone either way.

But who cares - just enjoying what was!

As for the media wash up...how about writing something positive? But of course not, it’s all about Carlton stealing the game, miscarriage of justice etc etc.

Media can get stuffed.
