Rd 15 v West Coast (Subiaco) - 77 points   
Rd 13 v Port Adelaide (AAMI Stadium) - 4 points

West Coast over there by 77 was impressive.

Most enjoyable was the Essendon win (my wife and her family are all Bombers)

I have to say Brisbane, not just because it is freshest in my mind either.

The game was pretty scrappy, no side could get a real ascendancy in the first half, then the magical 3rd qtr and because of the way the game had been played I was thinking if Brisbane get more than a goal in the last we were gawn.

To peg them back and then come again after they got the lead back is a real character builder and more important than that an above the shoulders builder.

When we play positive footy we do not look to bad at all, players like bling need more of this, and dare I say if we can move more to this type of footy next year JON may not be as bad as some think. IMO of course

WCE a close second cause to beat them on theire own patch, with still a lot of premiership players still in the team by so much was no mean feat as evidenced by the saints game this weekend.

Personally it was just as good to beat the bumbers, but that is personally  :shh

For mine, it has to be the Brissy win just for the 'never say die' attitude of the team, and particularly the young players, to wrestle back the lead from an equally determined Lions unit multiple times. The self belief and confidence this will give the team in the future is immeasurable.

Great win on so many levels

Hate to bring this up but if we had beaten the Saints and Bulldogs we would almost be guaranteed a finals berth. Oh the agony !!!!!!!
My thoughts were most impressive victory was Essendon (after Perth game, six day break and there forms been great too). Easy answer. 
Just wondering if its worth resting the guns this week against Geelong and gearing up for last 4 rounds? Probably not...
