Best SPS bit was when he had a genuine Diesel moment late in the 3rd when the Dogs had a bit of a sniff.

Took the mark within range, and literally put the game into his time, took a few deep breaths and never looked like missing.

All the wind went out of the Dogs.

It’s one thing to get it 35 times, but to back it with the clutch goals.

For him to own that moment.....says a lot.

Let's be honest, it was another two-quarter effort. We were pretty average in the second and third, the Dogs just couldn't convert.

But a win is a win! :D
seriously stupid, tonedeaf and disappointing effort........

I entirely agree but I keep Dow. I love him so much and is our best burst runner but he MUST sort out his kicking. Will be the difference between being a solid player and elite player. I think overall his kicking was a bit better today but that dropped mark and then missed set shot was a shocking minute for him. If he can go at 70% kicking (because his handballing is excellent) he will be elite.
Despite his current kicking woes, I think Dow is still better than Kennedy.

Cripps vs Bontempelli who?
I know what you mean, and I have my finger hovering above the “like”, but I don’t want to tempt fate in future games by sinking the boot into the Bont ........................ Ah, stuff it - LIKE!

So happy I was today's game, what a great team performance.

What I liked from a coaching perspective was we rotated Gibbo, Dow, Fisher, SOS, Walsh, LOB, all through midfield/wing/forward.

Some big PB's from Harry,SPS, Plowman, Gibbo, Walsh

Impressed by Gibbons composure, kicking both sides.

Fisher was doing the special things in tight.

Dow had some good kicking and some bad. So wanted him to kick the goal to reach 100 points.

Marchbank also still needs work on kicking.

Setterfield needs to go back to 2nds on return.

Charlie might have to as well.

Let's be patient with Willo and Cunners.

Kennedy and Stocker possible ins.

Also glad to see Daisy out there playing good footy.

Despite being a big name recruit and not having the impact many hoped I think he’s always been a solid player for us. Particularly since he’s moved down back.

He goes hard at every contest and clearly wants to win. Also a calming presence down back and sets an example of how to attack the footy for the youngsters.

Glad he has hung around.
He’s moving SO well! Is incredible to see. Loving it.

To be fair you could say the same about the 'where are the negative ppl' type comments.


Anyway...I liked the directive to get the ball in sps and fishers hands. Quality ball users that can hit the target! Sublime to watch.

I think Dows kicking will be less of an issue moving forward when there is less pressure on his disposal as we develop.
just be accountable for your previous rubbish - own your negativity.......

I also reckon when Big H ran around on that tight angle and drilled a beauty was a good clutch too ..
