    All The Small Things, Round 5, Vs Brisbane

    A celebration of the little things.

    There was a 3 of 1 contest in the third (I think) where Hunter did an outstanding job.

    Boyd's 50+m bombing goal in the second. He looked like vintage Carey coming out, getting the ball and wheeled around arrogantly and slotted it from a long way out. It felt like he was saying, 'give it to me, I'll do it and take the responsibility since the rest of you are missing easy goals'.

    Bont's ground kick.

    Easton smothering Claye Beams in their goal square. Stayed switched on and stopped what should of been a certain goal.

    Pickens contested mark almost immediately after above. Eleviated the pressure of the situation.

    Picken's mark in the last quarter was amazing.

    Good calls on both. Picken simply has no fear, especially in that contest, he's one very tough mofo.

    Macrae's right foot pass to TC to keep the play flowing.

    Our trainer yelling out and pointing to the umpire that the Brisbane trainer ran through Bob's protected zone, getting a 50m penalty and certain goal. It's not often you can say a trainer was directly responsible for a goal.

    Oh and Dunkley has clearly been in the weight room. Those cannons.

    TC's handball whilst being tackled, leading to Macraes goal in the first.

    Good call Slim. I thought TC toiled pretty well for us yesterday.

    Agree, he has had a solid fortnight. Need a big one from him Friday.

    When play was near the boundary, can't recall what 1/4, a Brisbane player with the ball and a young kid decked in bulldogs gear leaning well over the fence giving him that "bent elbow" gesture (what's the right term for it ?). Anyway, when there is a remake of Romper Stomper that kid gets a gig.

    On the negative side:

    We had momentum and that stupid score review with impossibly accurate footage took so bloody long that it acted to stop or slow our momentum. Conspiracy?

    The out of bounds free against JJ while being slung in a tackle. If he holds it, it's a free. With an arm pinned, if he tries to handball, it's a free for throwing. So he kicks it and it's pot luck where it goes because of the slinging of his body in the tackle will determine the angle of the kick. So he's damned no matter what.

    Lachie Hunter had a quiet one, but his effort to get to a contest in the last quarter to spoil a certain Lion mark by McCluggage 15m out from goal was huge. We were only 1 point ahead at the time with about 6 minutes left.

    Hunter had 2 huge spoils, one on the wing and the other deep in defence.
