Review Well played Bullies! Finals here we come.

I know most are saying cheekbone or eye socket, Bernie Vince said possible broken jaw on bounce not sure whether he could have heard anything but thought I’d mention it

 

[Dogsman16]

How did his opponent go? Didn't exactly tear it up. Solid enough game from Gardiner, doing what he is required to do.

Gardner halved nearly every contest he was involved in. Has a knack of executing crucial spoils, just as you think his opponent is going to mark.

Excuse me for a moment. Im off to the cemeter...errr, the Melbourne board.

Tom Morris reporting that it's a fractured cheekbone for Naughton, not sure if press conference has happened yet.

Spoils. Played on Hogan and gave him a bath

Hogan played one of his better games. 13 disposals, 7 marks and a goal. Hogan is a troubled young fella, but thought he won the battle but Gardner was serviceable

 

[mcgleereturns]

The commentary was a disgraceful barracking session the whole game.

rubbish

My head nearly exploded every time they showed that bloody live ladder and mentioned Melbourne supporters.

Gardner has plenty of flaws but he had Cordy covered tonight.
That needs to be Bruce’s baseline for finals

 

[Dogsman16]

Sean Darcy has become my most hated player.

Loved the move of Keath to the forward line. It didn't turn out to be the difference and I'm not sure if you could even label it as effective, but man that took some balls. Season on the line and to do something that risky was peak Bevo and I loved every second of it.

So many people were having a fit in the game day thread when Bevo chucked Keath forward.

We've been chipping Bevo all year for having no plan B and no match day creativity. As soon as he pulls an audacious move the thread goes into meltdown.

Credit to Bevo. He's clearly been studying the wisdom of our match analysis and has taken our comments on board. It takes real humility and a willingness to improve himself to do that.

What chance Vandermeer playing could use his speed.

Well let's hope for once Tom Morris is not talking shyte and is on the money.

That's what makes it even more satisfying

What's the recovery time on a fractured cheekbone or eye socket normally?

I remember EJ playing with a depressed fracture of the cheekbone without missing a game. They wouldn't allow it now.

Yep I agree

He could have just sat on what we had and tried to hold on or moved either Cordy or Gardner forward. Keath obviously draws more attention so it was a bold move.

Bringing him in for Richards would be a big improvement.

 

[Glaeken Oracle]

That is not what Gerard Healy said and given he is a qualified physio he should know.

Healey said exactly what MD said, which also makes more sense.

Yes they would

I know blokes at local level that haven’t missed games.

 

[ossie_21]

If he needs surgery he won’t play, if not then good chance a game in ~2 weeks he’ll be right

Check to see what Gerard Healey says.

 

[ScragCity]

I say this every time it happens. I never ever want Gary Lyon to commentate another game of ours. Makes me sick listening to his bias.

Had no impact on the result. You wouldn't be bothered by it if we had won.

 

[Here we go dogs]

I am pretty sure Stephen Milne played with a fractured cheek bone

 

[Braybrook Son]

A lot giving Bevo credit for putting Keith and then Cordy forward after Naughts went down, sorry to sound like I’m taking any credit away from Bevo, but most coaches would’ve done that. In fact, I can’t believe it’s taken this long in the season to try it!

 

[ScottyDogg]

Roarke really impressed in the 2nd/3rd

Bruce didn’t quite clunk em but very important presence and the goal was great

Cordy needs to play up the ground! The most unlikely looking forward but things just happen when he’s up there.

I have been a Libba fanatic for a long time but I had come to grips with him being another Clay. Huge talent taken from us way too early. He is reborn. I am going to savor every game he plays going forward as I truly believed we would never see this again. He is absolutely elite and very unique.
