Doesnt matter if you're yellow, black, white or green - that win was golden. Happy with Dusty's game wherever he's from
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

When we are on song we are outstanding but gee our mistakes kill us sometimes. We gifted North about 8 goals today minimum. Anyway our players were excellent but if we can find replacements for McGuane, Jackson and White that would be good too. Edwards was better this week. A big key defender, a big key forward and another 1 or 2 class midfielders and we are deadset away.

Agree Ramps. We make life really hard for ourselves with dropped marks, passes that fall short, handballs that miss targets and loopy crap that gives the opposition way to much time to defend. Eliminate this stuff and we will be a very good team. Inexperience stuff.

Some of the stuff we did today, the switching of play, the spread, the run ... just magnificent but these mistakes that we see, eradicate those and we are well and truly a finals side- just my opinion.

Agreed - we were the Easter Bunny today just handing out the gifts. Need some more intelligent composed players in defence.

great effort from the guys. We needed to win that and we did.

Thought Nahas, King, Martin and Cotch won the game for us.

Houli's best game for the club tonight.

If only we can work out WTF we are going to do with Mcguane and Rance we will be okay. Grimes looks composed down there and must play some serious game time.

Still not impressed with Edwards and time for Vickery to say hello to Coburg to gain some form.

Ive lost all hope for McGuane. Rance started poorly but his disposal for the most part was very good and he tried to be part of the link up play and the run. So I still think he has a chance but McGuane needs to improve lots or he should be spending lots of time at Coburg.

Rance did okay to be given another game but Mcguane WTF goes through that guys head some times.

When he goes anywhere near the ball i cringe. Hansen was down on confidence and having a shocking year, yet completely owned him tonight.

I would actually say Grimes, Moore, Rance down back and forget about Thursfield and Mcguane. They are nothing footballers. Might stop the odd forward here or there but lack the run out of defence that we need.

On Jackson im sick to death of his undisciplined acts. Thats selfish football and not team stuff. We need him on the park although at times tonight he was in all sorts. That holding the ball where he tried to pay on should never have happened.

I loved it how we switched play at times, to create options.

Im more relieved than anything because i expected us to win and we did.

You forgot Jack R. He's pretty quiet so he's easy to miss.  ;D

Riewoldts best game tonight IMHO. Better than the 10 goal effort. Why - because he kicked what he had to and gave away afew as well to his teammates. Just outstanding.
