Thought the first half was close to finals intensity, although didn’t feel like it because of the local oval feel.

Our pressure in the 2nd quarter was 225 at one point but the Dogs could do no wrong. Best quarter they’ll play all year.

Went into HT thinking we’ve shown the ability to come back from deficits before and we’ve done it again.

The comeback Lion Kings, led by an eel!
 
Hipwood and Payne stood up at both ends, and what a difference it made along with a functioning midfield. What a game.
Well that was a game of two halves. Hipwood is an enigma wrapped in a conundrum. In the one game he played his worst half of football and his best half of football. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Massive kudos to Payne who also turned his game around.

Huge games from Bailey, McCluggage, Morris and Ah Chee all stepping up when it counted. Rayner, Neale, Dunkley, Andrews, Lester, Berry, Zorko and Oscar got on top in the second half and both Ashcrofts were creative and dangerous. Wilmot is an absolute gun.

Day tried.

That makes 7 of the last 8 games we’ve come back from a big margin now. I repeat my comments from last week, as good as that is, could you do us all a favour and just play a complete game every now and then please?
They phoned in the last quarter v Tigers. It's a long way there but confidence is high. Brilliant watch.
 
Am I Ah Chee biased ?

He was our best player in the first quarter and then when the game was up for grabs kept willing himself into contests , kept giving it off for goals and snaffled some himself.

Has to be in the Top 5.

Maybe Eric had a jab at half time because he was running and jumping a whole lot better in the 3rd quarter but the key was winning the contest out of the middle particularly and around the ground despite the facts that our rucks weren't a factor.
 
Didn't watch just checked scores.Saw we were well down.Checked about 30 minutes later.As expected we were in front.Rinse and repeat.

Day is trying. Interpret that as you wish.

Zorko is the guy who gives us a spark when we're struggling . Showed great leadership towards the end of the 2nd quarter and into the 3rd winning critical contests and never making a mistake when he got hold of it

Cal has been unreal this year. That finals series last year was the real making of him. He’s found his spot now and I think more so the belief that he belongs in the team. From the strapping it appears he’s doing it with a bung knee too, which makes it even more incredible.
