The final margin should have been bigger, too many behinds but that was a pretty good performance bar the last 5-6 minutes.
I am annoyed at another three goal win when we were easily six goals better but the 4 points are good and The umpires officiated the last five like they had an 18 point spread to get under. There were calls for the GC that would never have been made if it was ever going to impact the result.

Midfield dominant. Andrews, Payne, Fletcher, Ah Chee & Cameron very good at either end.

How do we fit Starcevich, Coleman, Lohmann, Morris & Doedee into this side? 7-1, top of the ladder, reigning premiers and some high quality players still to come back. About as good as it gets.

Also the three Ashcroft brothers are so, so good(Will, Jaspa, Levi)
 
In a dour greasy defensive game where the suns has only scored 4 at the twenty minutes mark of the fourth quarter and their big name forward had one mark all game, and their strongest midfield creator was kept pretty quiet I would have hoped the Ashcroft medal.might have gone to recognise one of the great defensive efforts. Both Ashcrofts were very good but wouldn't Payne or Harris or Dunks have told the story of the match better.

There were at least three sublime passages of play capped off by a small forward missing a gettable shot (counted one from each of Charlie, Ah Chee and Bailey). But that's okay, they'll get it right as the season goes on. I'd like to see Shagga get another run though, he could really add to the mix and give us another avenue to goal if he gets more involved.
 
Awesome performance from our mids and backs. Forwardline was quite poor despite Charlie’s form

Good to win a wet one


Out: McLachlan for Lohmann (if fit), McKenna the sub- played his role
Out: Gardiner for Morris or Gallop, Dizzy was rubbish and shouldn’t be considered for a forward role
Out: Day (injured) in Fort, work over Gawn

Gawn will be playing next week, but not against us. Playing Norf next week.

Doodee will need Lester to retire to ever play for us. Too clean, too good.
 
Wasn't a night for big forwards so just as well.

Dominant performance from the mids and had it been dry we would've really spanked them because they were tough conditions to eke out goals once you got it in there. Just scrambly and sloppy and an ugly watch.

Can't complain about too much. Stiff for Day to do the hammy because he was playing better again at the time. I haven't seen any instance of play that indicates Dizz is of much use in a forward line , he was okay in defence last week where his shortcomings are an advantage . Still good job to get a game in this side post ACL.

Cal and Charlie were clean when it mattered and both could've ended up with 5. I thought Dunks was BOG , Will ,Lachie ,Andrews ,Cal , Clug , Jackson Payne , Levi , Charlie , Noah ,Cam in that order. Most others were good as well

Hard to know where we fit Kiddy but he's an automatic in in say 2 weeks so they'll work it out.

Love how hard Levi works when he doesn't have the footy. He could develop into a very good two way running mid for us. He's got his brother covered comfortably in that regard.
Just at the moment Will is starting to cop a bit of attention whereas they haven't worked out how talented Levi is yet.

Some of Will's work in a 2 or 3 vs him was insane. Very gifted player.

But for only his 8th game Levi is so smart as to where to go to provide an option and cool under pressure. Don't want to go off too soon but he looks like being a complete gun.

Agree, Will is immense in the contest, just has a ridiculous ability to get first hands to the footy and extract it cleanly.

Levi is starting to show excellent signs too, and what really stood out to me tonight was the defensive running and pressure. Going to be a bloody handy player.
