I really feel sorry for anyone having to listen to the commentary. I would have to turn down the sound. Seriously. I don't know who it was but some of the commentators got really frustrated when Collingwood started to pull away in the second quarter. Lots of loud sighing, lots of "I want to see the replay" when Collingwood got a free kick, lots of "that's unfortunate" when Collingwood players did something brilliant. Am I wrong? |
 No your not wrong! After the first 10 minutes of Dunstall commentary I watched the whole game with no sound made an incredible difference to how I enjoyed the game! |
It was probably the first game in a long time that I actually enjoyed and was relaxed. The umpires were pretty good so I wasn't angry at them the whole game. Our boys played well and did some exciting things. And watching the replay I found myself starting to get really shitty and then I realised why. Was it Dunstall? One of them was really miffed at Collingwood getting in front and couldn't bring himself to say anything good about the team. Dermie was fairer in his comments. |

Until the last two weeks, I think the evidence has justified some scepticism about our coach ; but it is starting to come together, which is a real relief. The boys look committed, but also organised. Having Reid and Sinclair (plus the enigmatic Scharenberg and maybe Marley Williams) to come back into this side is very promising.
A few highlights for me, trying not to repeat the obvious;
Frost has been a gift from the gods - he's not only a strong tackler, he's creative, strong overhead and growing every week. We might have something really special, here.
Sidebottom gets better each week, right now. He is really growing in that half back flank running role, with his enormous tank a real source of drive for us as Heath Shaw used to be.
The Jesse White acquisition looks inspired at this stage; he has given us a whole new dimension up forward. That mark in the square was ominous for any Cloke-obsessed opposition backline, and the running goal showed how versatile and difficult he might be.
I might be the only one with doubts about Grundy. Yes, he is hard and competitive, but a bloke of his size really should be taking marks around the ground and creating options. A few times I thought he flew one-handed, which worries me.
Blair and Goldsack and Langdon look to be the players running on borrowed time as our injury list hopefully shortens.
Anyway, a great result. Next week we'll get a better sense of where we really are, though. Beat Essendon and we are top 4 material, but until then we are still second tier with losses to top 4 candidtaes in Geel and Freo. Hopeful days, however. |
A pretty good summation, but I reckon Goldy was actually pretty good, and is improving every week.
I also reckon Witts looked better than Grundy, but he is very young, I reckon all he needs is time.
Roos looked as poor as the Tigers the week before with their skills; I don't thinks its a co-incidence.
Me thinks the bombers will be shakin thinking about Friday!

Went camping straight after the game - absolutely pissed myself laughing when I found out today that Lindsay Thomas has a corky!!
The only reason he got crunched was because he went half arsed in the first place, and then lay there prone afterwards.  was he KO'd?, knee?, snapped achilles?, broken leg?, no........... he has a corky!!!!

Great first half of footy to watch.
Disposing of what were [are?] thought of as two top 4 contenders in successive weeks is an excellent effort.
Defence: Great teamwork AND individual work back there. They are all just playing with such confidence - Loving it! To be getting games in to Keeffe & Frost as key position players in the same side AND winning, along with Langdon straight out of Kindergarten. Awesome!
Midfield: I would like to see Grundy take more contested marks BUT I guess our transition play aims at moving the ball quickly by hand or foot uncontested until we reach our key forwards!?!? Seems Swan has been hailed as returning to form - For mine, I still don't think he's quite right. Great run, spread & tacking all round!
Forwards: Jessie White is a proper second tall we've been crying out for. Along with Elliot & of course the #1 man Travis Cloke, we can spread a defensive unit. Love how we can plonk Elliot in the goal square ahead of the two man mountains = Works!
I heard Buckley mention how there was an emphasis on pressuring the ball carrier. Couple that with our tall yet mobile forward line that makes it difficult for teams to run a 3rd man at the contest and It makes me wonder if we're preparing to foil the Hawks???.... Just like we skinned the Cats in 2010!?!?!?... Meow! |
