Taberner's killing it this year. He's also getting free from his man a ton. Could have had four more shots on goal last week against west coast if our kicking was better than woeful into the forward fifty. Believe it or not a consistently clueless poster on here said we should drop him for cox last week. All he has to do is get over his yips and you've got one of the best key forwards in the afl if he keeps his current form up.
Currently averaging 18.2 possessions 8.6 marks and 2 goals a game. He's also improved his ground work a heap and is averaging 2.8 tackles a game.He's actually 19th for tackles inside the forward fifty. So much for being terrible at forward pressure. Second in the afl for contested marks and 5th for marks overall.
It's music to the ears ain't it.

Late to the party on this one but I've been drinking a lot. Way to go you boys in purple, you blokes have always been as close to a second team as I deem it appropriate to have. I feel like there is a lot of parallel between our two clubs so I've always had a soft spot but forgetting that you boys have been putting it on the park in a way you can't help but respect this season. Thanks for showing us the way to stick it up the wanky birds from the other side of your state and a mighty ******* impressive performance by yourselves against a Giants side I rate very high this year. Sorry for intruding but what a ******* season! Hope to see your mob deep into September, as tough a proposition as that might be by then.
Aww man. They'll never tear us apart.

Just seen the game recorded now.

Some thoughts.
1. Taberner either run deep to defense or held his position forward. No long leads into no mans land, which was great to see. Contested in the air, which stopped intercept marking and allow the team to set up our forward defense.
2. Our forward defense set up was excellent. Stopped the 45 kick and switch.
3. Hogan makes others better including Taberner with his field kicking and general smarts.
4. 5 goals were given away due to ball watching. Somebody needs to teach our players to see both the ball and opposition. Especially in stoppages and breakaways.
5. Conca is a blessing and a curse. His blocking and toughness was excellent but his kicking not so much.
6. We were tougher at the ball and man which was great see.
7. Less bombing was a good improvement.
8. We need to get congie dog.
