one of the best TV games l have seen this year. Did anyone see Jobe Watson's face in the rooms after the game. He must of been on some good stuff cause l never seen a face like that ever.

That chain of handball off our half back line late in the last quarter which led to a goal by Shed was pulsating. It won us the game.
8 weeks ago and that would've resulted in a turn over goal to them and killed our momentum.

Last night doesn't make us what we ain't - a top 4 side - but a desire to win and competitiveness are the hallmarks of a great side and I've been really pleased in our good wins over the past 6 weeks at our intensity at the pill and our hard edge in close.

Can we fit Big Ben, Big Ty and Big Ivvy in the one side?

I don't think we can tbh - too top heavy. I think playing Reiwoldt with one of them(I prefer Griff personally) and Deledio perma 3rd tall with cameos from Dusty and Petterd makes us more potent.

I think Griff is the better CHF and all round prospect bc he gets on his bike and offers a chop out up the ground when we're coming out of defence and need  a get out of jail bomb it long target. He had Hurley on him last night and if he wasn't marking it, he never allowed Hurley to take a cheap uncontested grab. That's his prototype game, he develops into one of those CHF's and we are on the right track.

Like a pig going to slaughter him and his teammates. And lets not forget the fans.

Big Ben was friggen awesome.  I noticed he keeps his feet where others go to ground ie. TV.    His kicking is just magic.

[Smokey]

Cotch was lucky to get that free but it made up for the BS ones Essendon had got.

Don't agree with that MT - in play it seemed a bit suss but when they showed the replay it was a certain free imho.

Back to what he showed in the first few games this season.  His ruck work has improved (as has Vickery's) and I reckon that makes a big difference to us, not losing ground when big Eeevarn has a spell.

[Owl]

Absolutely, not knocking TV either, I think he has improved a lot too.  Just love BG with the ball, feel confident he is gonna tonk it deep to our advantage or through the tooth picks.  He took some nice marks too.
