The last few minutes was another highlight. Super composed and everyone didn’t the right thing. Amon absorbing the tackle and forcing a stoppage instead of blazing away was awesome

We look so much better at Marvel (2-0) compared to the G this season (0-4)! We should have beaten the Pies in Adelaide but our form at the home of footy has been for the most part, bloody horrible! Playing fast, counter attack footy (particularly from opposition turnovers) seems to work far better at Marvel.

I picked up one mistake, he called Sicily "Jake". Says "Tumbles the ball" a few too many timesThe caller’s name is Matt Hill. Just superb.
Scrim very stiffNot sure if these have already been posted, but here are the coaches votes
Western Bulldogs v Hawthorn
9 - Jarman Impey
9 - Marcus Bontempelli
5 - Dylan Moore
3 - James Sicily
2 - Blake Hardwick
2 - Conor Nash
Impey, just awesome. Moore: effort personified with the finish to go with it, Sicily: dislocates his shoulder and rolls his ankle in the 3rd and yet is still one of the most influential players in the game … downright astonishing, Hardwick: so adaptable, Nash: plays his role to a tee… Meek unlucky. McDonald, Scrimma annd Weds… not far off the votes.
And for mine, the Bont is the most impactful player in the comp… so fair enough.
I think Connor Macdonald got Jai Newcombed a couple of times also, there might've been one or two others.I picked up one mistake, he called Sicily "Jake"...
If CMac had a little of Dylan Moore he would be a ripper.
Should have been today if anything was to come of it. Seems nothing has come of it. Which is good to see.I haven't seen the replay but it didnt look great at the game. Not one bit... Though given i havent heard anything about i assume it was 100% unavoidable contact
On Libbers concussion, if you haven’t seen it, dig up the documentary of Mario Fennech the old nrl player. Very sad what repeated concussion can do to an athlete.
If you ask a fighter if they are ok to continue they always say yes.
Sometimes people need to intervene to save a competitive athlete from themselves. I hope he’s ok.
Curious comment … please explain.If CMac had a little of Dylan Moore he would be a ripper.
Finn is an enigma. He is the best and the worst.I wouldn’t mind seeing Finn start in the centre for clearances and then go forward. He is a big body and the only way we were going to lose that game was in the middle after a goal was scored. He is turning into a beast and doing great up forward. Worth a try sometimes
I’ve seen a bit from the media about Sicily yelling at Watson for the mistake, when as captain he should have encouraged him and telling him to don’t worry about it we’ll get the next one not smash the kid.
Sunday was a little like the best of Sic and the worst of Sic. He showed his grit by weathering the pain and distraction of the separated shoulder and the ankle, going forward and kicking what he kicked.I’ve seen a bit from the media about Sicily yelling at Watson for the mistake, when as captain he should have encouraged him and telling him to don’t worry about it we’ll get the next one not smash the kid.
And while on Amon, that first contest with Libba was brutal. He went low and hard, set the tone. Kudos to a player often pigeonholed as being effective at the “outside” stuff only.The last few minutes was another highlight. Super composed and everyone didn’t the right thing. Amon absorbing the tackle and forcing a stoppage instead of blazing away was awesome
Honestly tempted to frame this (with permission?) And put it in my den.
