How good was that poo? Grigg made one screw up but otherwise he was good imo.  Its just his stood out bigtime.  Poor ol Tucky muffed a kick up real bad.  Rance is Thor.  Cotchin better be on a ten year contract.  Lids was friggen awesome too.  Kingy and Nahas are the wonder twins that don't look anything like each other or actually play like each other come to think of it....
Ahh its good to be dribbling crap after a good win

good to see you old boy  :cheers

All the players were terrific tonight. Browne who I had written off last year- that was just a mammoth effort from him, he was great. They were all real good. Hardwick is well and truly on the right track.

I thought Jacko, grigg and tucky were quiet but we have such depth that others can step up and cover for them

Sniper Lloyd had plenty of excuses for the Bumblers during the wrap up though. 

To be fair on Llooooooyd he tipped the tigers when quarterbrain and Balls picked the the dons he picked Richmond and was made fun of.  he then tried o make excuses but if glad to say he was no sheep. :clapping

To be brutal,
Tuckie deserved to be subbed
Farmer is way too slow at present for AFL
Helbig was a little bit out of sorts with the pace of the game.
The good thing is White can take one of these spots.

The Grimes injury is now a really tricky one to cover with the way the kid's been playing.
Do you go for a tall to replace him and choose Thirsty, Gourdis or Astbury.
or do you go for the more conventional HBF in Webberley, Dea, Connors

Some players at Coburg need to stick their hands up to get a game, including that group and Morton/Hislop.

Who would ever have thought that replacing Grimes would be tricky! Such a shame he was palying well!
I thought Postie looked real slow early but he showed enough enough tonight to me interested in keeping him!
I think Astbury has to be the man to replace Grimes!

I loved his game tonight. Gave everything and punched well above his weight division and won the points.
He has come on in leaps and bounds this year and yep I'd have him in my bests.

I think Grimes has slotted in nicely to our backline and he'll be a loss next week but Astbury is a good kid and he'll slot in nicely.

just got back  - stuff yeah!!!  
TV's best game to date, looks commanding and has an inate ability to create space out of nothing in confined spaces, the way he cooly slotted the sealer is when i lost my voice.

Rance continues to come along - yes he'll have some bad days hes only played 30odd games remember but you'd have to be a douchebag not to see the massive improvement in him this season.

Cotchin, Lids, Martin I love yous all

Nahas and Kingy how bloody good are they??

Browne was thrown to the wolves tonight - did a few silly things but worked his heart out - I thought Posty had an impact and looked good at times but got really annoyed in the last when he seemed to go for goal from the boundary line instead of centreing it

Bachar Houli has slotted in like he was born to play for us. The tackling and pressure we put on those dribblers was first class- we still cop a lot of dumb dumb goals but our defensive work rate was outstanding - we ran them ragard and should have nailed them late in the 3rd but all good we won a big game in front of a monster crowd and responded when challenged late whereas 5-6 weeks ago I would have said game over we've stopped and gone to pieces.

Keep going Dimma doing a bloody fantastic job!

not sure what role post played, but jack stayed out of the contest a fair bit and allowed vickery to mark or at least bring the ball to ground, (where jack is as dangerous, if not more so ,than with the ball in air,) Not sure if post had a similar type role or not?

I thought for a while we missed the structure that miller gave us, but they had changed the structure and it ended up working OK.



“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?
