Thought Conca was very good tonight and Dusty was playing at a level few ever reach.

Butler is gonna be an absolute gun, he was fast, silky .  Castagna as well, the way they swooped on balls that noone had any right to and worked in hard traffic was awesome.  The tankier blokes are providing some genuine grunt and we aren't getting pushed around like before, even the little blokes were just barreling in

Still can't understand what our ruckman is doing by taking marks, kicking goals and tackling.

preposterous, must get Vickery back

Overall really happy with seeing a marked difference in our style of play. Massive change. I'll accept mistakes when we crack in and go for it like that. Just need to fix at how easy we have up goals.

Think Lloyd and Hunt were worst on ground Loyd had an absolute stinker. Thought griff dropped some easy marks and struggled. Rioli wasn't in the game but stands out with class at the right moments. Prestia and Nankervis very impressive, Caddy bit quiet but important big body. Conca was very good and didn't try and do to much a hallmark of his game. Georgie boy and Butler wow add so much spark. Dusty omg what a unit.

Add Markov in to replace Hunt and run out of defence will look a lot better.

[Owl]

Yeah, Markov has tons more going for him, including courage lol

[Loui Tufga]

Unfortunately that little fumble soccer thingy Hunt did late in the game will keep him in the team for at least another dozen games 

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Enjoyed Prestia tonight. That swooping goal in 2nd q was 24k

Thought Conca was very good tonight and Dusty was playing at a level few ever reach.

Conca? The guy who ran underneath an uncontested ball to totally miss it.

[tdy]

I thought Carlscums backs kept us in it. They are a bottom 6 side maybe bottom 4. We are marginally  better but if we play like we did in the third against a good team we will be shredded.

A win is a win but I'm not jumping up and down in amazement at our performance.

[mat073]

I thought Butler , Castagna and Rioli were awesome . Good times ahead .

Was Cotchin even on the ground in the third . Missing persons report .

Conca was good .  Lloyd had a stinker .

Dusty will win the brownlow this year . All hail Dustin .

Pretty pleased with everything , such a contrast to rd 1 2016.

Normally it's our kicking that lets us down, but how bad was our handballing? So many handball turnovers.

Happy with tackling and new recruits. Agree Lloyd had a shocking game. Thought Cotchin had a quiet game as did Griffiths and Ellis. Martin and Rioli pure class.
