Imo, Derm and Duck (sounds like an ‘80s pop duo) actually talk a lot more sense about us than most of the supposedly highbrow footy pundits, and they have done throughout the Bolton era.
Tru dat Dermie and the Duck have been behind our rebuild from the get go.

What a day. Very proud of the boys.

My damned soul needed that win. I think everyone did. Players. Coaches. Members.

Can take a hell of a lot of confidence out of that game.

Cripps is simply the best midfielder in the comp. end of story.

Walsh is amazing. Doesn't know how to have an off game. That finish was pure class. Thank goodness he kicked it. Now the media can STFU about 100 points.

SPS- that first half he was everywhere. Hope he takes a lot from this game. SPS you can be an elite player in this comp. keep going.

Big H- going to be one of the premier forwards no doubt. Imagine he had of kicked that goal after 4 bounces. Thought I was watching buddy. I've been on him every week for first goal kicker and he did it again today. Should have last week too.

I wish Dow had of kicked that goal or hit up one of those leads in the last 2 minutes. Would have got the monkey off his back and shut the media up.

Backline solid again. I thought Plowman was really good. Must have seen willows game and though "time to really ramp up my spot could be in trouble soon"

Competition for spots is really going to drive us forward now
Look out hawks next week. We've got a taste for blood now and we want some more.

Same time as SPS.

Was there a midfield adjustment?
I thought with Jack in along with Gibbons playing more on ball it allowed SPS & Fisher to play as more attacking players and to play "fresher" minutes and aren't as fatigued.

Same reason a lot of us have wanted Kennedy in.

That's my hope. I thought Jack played very well today next to McGovern Casboult & McKay. Charlie on a wing or through the middle would be awesome. Can still push forward or play their at different times

Once we have these players all playing well and some game into them individually and as a group we will be very dangerous. Still have TDK & Kerr as well.

McKay just demanded the ball all day and seemed to thrive on it
He’s one of those players you’d like two of...

SPS was amazing today, but let’s be honest, until today, Cripps has been a lone hand in there. With Kruz back, SPS hopefully continues this kind of form, our forward line continues to function, then I think we throw Charlie in there, and then seriously... no, seriously... LOOK OUT!

Was encouraged by Plowman's game, best he has played in a while. Hope he gets so much needed confidence and belief from it.
Didn't do a lot wrong and kicked beautifully.

This is the Plowman we saw in 2017.

Keep it coming!

I explained to my wife how the media keeps banging on about 100 points and how we finally did it in the last second after so long.

I described the last couple of minutes and how we had a few other chances then asked her to guess who kicked it

Wife - "I don't know"

Me- "Guess!"

Wife- "I don't know. Wouldn't have a clue. Who?"

Me- "just guess"

Wife- " I dunno.. vanilla?"

Me- "Too bloody right he did"

Said it before and I’ll say it again, some players got to know their limitations! Refuses to give first option then ends up giving a poor option that puts a team mate under pressure thus causing a turn over.
He’s decision making is dumb. Marchbank poor by foot too many times for my liking too and we can’t have 2 players coming out of defence like that, ones enough thx so for me when the opportunity presents itself Willo in Plow out- it makes us better
Come on Gards, Shit posts are shit.
Play Willo on the HBF, or wing..

That 100 point thing.. both Jase and Dwayne went on about it as if something was riding on it, as if anyone hit the media gave a shit, as if we didn’t crack the 100 it would be deemed as it we lost... even though we were up by 6 goals.

It was as embarrassing as Underwood’s Harry slip-up, but what ya gonna do?

They where just hoping to still have something to beat us over the head with and justify there claims that our rebuild is a failure.

Couldn't agree more. It's happening. There's also Kennedy Stocker and Cuningham as well. Best young talented list I have ever seen ;) especially in the middle
