Not a pretty game in the first 1/2BUT gee didnt the boys come out and give it tio 'em in the 2nd 1/2.
Great game.....could have lost it in the last 1/4 but held on well.
Why was Bucks pulled from the ground????
Start of the come back and will teach the Lions how to play next week.

Well, all over at one stage, but an MM rev uip at 1/2 time certainly got the desired result.
Poor Davo, looks like another wasted year.

Well done to Davis for a good game, hopefully this can be the start of something for him. Sad to see Davo go off injured, poor bugger, looks like we might be missing Brodie next week, injured his hamstring don't know if it's bad or not.

Good win by the boys, hopefully this will spark them into gear and turn it all around.

Well done to the boys and bad luck to davo. Holland came back on the ground after he came off injured so hopefully he's ok.

Some injury worries. Davidson looks out for the season which is a shame as he looked interesting material. The Rock had treatment on his left knee, Brodes is a query and Tazz was limping late in the game.

Some positive signs certainly but will Brisbane allow us to get way with such a pathetic start ??? Methinks not.

Brisbane are a team of hasbeens, if we play like we did in the second half today we can stick it right up em in front of their home crowd.

Wow, lucky boys today.

In all sorts first half. Skills were very poor. Does Mick not practice kicking at training? After Rhys Shaw was rightfully dropped i thought those times were behind us but obviously not.

Scotty Burns great in the second half excellent clearances.

Pebbles did well too still a solid mark as ever hope his knee isnt too serious.

Tarrant must learn to kick. Equally though we must count ourselves lucky that Rawlings cant.

Wakelin was very good plenty of touches. Ben Johnson seems to have taken his game also much more confident gave us good run from half back Woey was solid down back as well.

Fraser won his fair share and also got tunnelled by Darcy and the free kick went against him?!

As usual the maggots did their very worst.

On another note i thought Chris Grant was exceptional for the Dogs top player there.

Yes, the start was certainly pathetic and sloppy. Good comeback, though.
Hopefully we will be able to continue the momentum for the weeks ahead.

But are you happy, wombat ??

Bloody good win, I thought.

To beat a team who ran The Weagles to the wire after we were trounced by a team who then got kathumped by Melbourne is a top effort.

Interesting stats.

They had 23 more kicks, 20 more handballs, 19 more marks, 23 more tackles, 6 more frees, 2 more hitouts and 1 more scoring shot.

Pretty gutsy win, I'd say.

176 Kicks 199
82 Marks 101
87 Handballs 107
29 Tackles 52
31 Hitouts 33
13 Frees 19

Great win to the boys, i'm absolutely rapt!. That means a big night for me tonight!

. However, i'm worried about next week against Brisbane. As gutsy as were were today, i still dont think that we're good enough to beat Brisbane. I will cheer for them all the way but i still dont think we will win. Ah, we'll have to see.

Great to see some hardness and desperation appear in the 2nd half. Clearances were great, Burnsy brilliant. Knew that last week was a total aberration for him.
Great to see big improvements in Neon & Lokan and a lot more commitment from Cheesy. I love Cole's hardness but he still commits some big clangers. Probably gave away 2 direct goals today. Throw in Woey's clanger & that was 3 soft goals.
All in all a pretty good result that will see some confidence back in the joint.
Tragic if that's the season over for Davo though, he looks like he could've added a bit up front. Shocking luck!

Releived more like it, Donny.

Gutsy certainly, a number of positive signs especially the re-emergeance of last seasons team spirit and hunger. However, the injury toll, continuing ruck probs and poor form of certain players do still give one cause for concern let alone the aforementioned "stalled start".
