Yep if he stays focused and keeps a tight check in his opponents then he'll keep getting a game. Still gets a bit lost on occasions but overall he played well tonight.
Sounds like they’ve been busy handing out party favours to about a 100 players lately so they forgot
He always sounds like a team man. Bringing others into the win or talking them up when we don’t win. Leadership quality on and off the field.
Yeah now Hawks will throw everything at us. Naicos tagged and double teamed again too.
Ex Saints player at the helm on that one last week
If it bleeds we can kill it
JDG a lot better tonight vs his other games this year
Was a bold move by McFly to drop Sidey and demote Crispy to the sub vest, but it did the trick and put everyone on notice that the season is on. I was not sure about the decision but it was a clear message and the players responded with a very strong defensive effort. Overall we were patchy at times, plenty of errors and that 2nd qtr was abysmal. After half time we were very good and looked more like our usual selves.
I won't say we are back yet, beat the Hawks and I may have a re-think but we rarely do beat that mob. Time for the club to turn the tables and really give them a belting for once.

Fly's presser
There was a lot of talk during the week about the defensive intent you would bring to the game. Was that up to the level you were hoping?
What changed to get it back in your favour after Brisbane responded in the 2nd quarter?
You drifted Nick Daicos back to half back. Can you talk us through your thinking there. You persisted with that for nine-tenths of the game?
Are you pleased with John Noble after a period in the wilderness?
Can you talk about the contribution of the senior guys who might have struggled in the first few games such as Scott Pendlebury and Darcy Moore.
Can you really build on this win now and kick start your premiership defence?
Did you ask Scott Pendlebury about that little slap on Lachie Neale?

Great victory.
Beat the Lions at the GABBA.
A Lions team desperate for GF revenge.
A Lions team desperate to avoid going 0 & 3.
I felt unusually calm before the game. I have no idea why I felt calm but I had a feeling we'd win. It just so Collingwood to pull out an epic win on the road.
We definitely turned a corner.
The pressure was back.
We were hungry.
We were ferocious in the contest.
We took chances and played with dare.
We played on at every opportunity.
I still don't think we played anywhere near our best.
We weren't always clean and still had many skill errors but you could see their confidence slowly creeping back.
Our season begins now.
Go Pies.
P.S. all of our critics and especially the media can go E.A.D.

Reef wore a jumper two sizes too small and rocked it. Now we just need to get a similar sizing for his shorts.....just sayin'
The perfect game to get us back on track, up against it across all categories (except maybe Brisbane coming off a bye), was an arm wrestle and we had to find our 2023 confidence to stand up in the last 1/3 of the game to control and deliver the outcome. Intent was missing in the previous rounds and we brought that tonight. I anticipate some up’s and downs to come, our skills are still missing at times. But that will come with confidence, I loved the chaos ball and taking the game on that shone through at times tonight.
Just to highlight and lowlight a few players.
Mihocek I think is our most important player, or at least he was for me this evening. Brings the ball to ground even though he’s undersized, I thought Andrews would tear us a new one tonight but Checkers brought the ball to ground effectively. He’s a phenomenal player. Reef did a good job i thought competing with Andrews 1:1 as well.
Elliot, it’s crazy how hard he goes and how often he takes a difficult grab, kicks a difficult goal. The bone crunching tackle in the last was phenomenal. No fear, and really set the tone with his approach.
Lipinski isn’t naturally as tough as the above two, but he has been outstanding and doing everything that is required of him each game. He went above and beyond tonight, and should get coaches votes.
I love Mcreery loose around the ball, creates chaos and the ball generally ends up heading our way. Kicks goals and applies pressure. Transitions really well. A key player in our structure.
Frampton is a lock for me, there is something about players standing up when you need them most. He was superb this evening. Will allow Moore to get more creative as well. Murphy can come in as a third tall if needed.
Q is slowly becoming our most impactful defender I feel. A perfect mix of defence and offence. Loved his game, would love for our players to kick on their non preferred more. The Daicos style outside of the boot is dinky and hard execute in most contested situations.
Degoey comes in and out of focus a lot during games, he’s a definite match winner and had a great game but would like more of the Neale type of dominance covering a full game.
Was disappointed with Pendles pulling out of a marking contest when the game was on the line. That’s inexcusable. He’s turning it over as well which suggests he’s probably questioning himself as well. Still came good at critical moments this evening, we need him in the 22. We need others to carry his load on ball though. I’d like to see Sullivan given a game. Macrae really didn’t come on tonight, I’d be inclined to give him another game. Continuity is key.
Schultz, I get the coaches rave about his pressure acts and similar to WHE it’s obviously there and a key part of our success…you still need to hit your targets, transition and kick your goals when it’s your turn. I think this will come with time, he’s come from a nothing team to the big time…a lot of pressure on him given what we paid for him (pick 4 as of yesterday!).
hill is a jet, but even he had skill errors tonight. I look forward to getting back to our best with another couple of confidence boosting wins.
Daicos was exceptional for a 21 year old, but he is a 21 year old. Gets caught out against the bigger bodies at times. He went from a good game (with corridor turnovers) to a great game because McRae manufactured some freedom off the half back flank. I would leave him there for most of the game. Would really like to see Sullivan in to partner Mitchell and Degoey.
A great confidence building win. A step in the right direction.

The best game, that we’ve seen, from Frampton and a lot better than some people (here) seemed to think he was capable of.
JFN showed us why he played 83 consecutive games, before being dropped for the finals. (Yeah I know we won the GF without him, I don’t think leaving him out made our chances of winning any more likely.) Tonight he not only accumulated a nice total of effective disposals but he also threaded the defence together with numerous selfless acts. I like what Markov brings but I think I’ve developed a Man-Crush on JFN.
Great win tonight - 1 down 19 to go and then finals.

Great win. Tackling was immense. So good to see that pressure back.
We look so good when we move the ball down the middle, even if there were some turnovers early on. Reminded me of the first half of last season.
Defence was great, especially holding up so well in that 2nd quarter when they threw everything at us. Hipwood went missing to an extent that his face will be on milk carton tomorrow.

Well according to Brisbane supporters on their board they were the better team for most of the game

Moving Daicos to defence and bringing Noble back was instrumental to our win. Good win at the selection table to bring back the rebounding players.
