    All The Small Things, Round 7

    Celebration or criticism of the little things.

    Not shepherding on the line for Dahl's shot in the last quarter. Could've cost us more than just that goal.

    Tom Boyds handballing in close. Seems he's a card carrying member of the handball club.

    Seconded.

    I'm pretty keen on keeping him around next year.

    No brainer now. With Picko, English & Caleb done, JJ on hold. This is the next one.

    Crucial. Bonts contested mark in defensive 50, with a couple of minutes left.

    His influence with all the small things is a bit like the flap of a butterfly wing and the ensuing tsunami.

    According to the AFL commission, the deliberate out of bounds is working "perfectly".

    If I was as "perfect" at my job I would be sacked immediately and jailed for medical incompetence.

    Re: All The Small Things, Round 7

    Anyone pick up on Macrae's massive barrelling of Lin Jong? Jacko had just chased down Dusty and won a HTB free before Lin Jong rushed and took an ill advised advantage (made worse by Murphy coughing it up) that led to a Tigers goal. Macrae was filthy at Jong and let him know about it.

    They're great mates off field so I'm sure it will be sweet but I thought it was actually a good sign that Macrae was willing to put his foot down rather than meekly accept the stuff up.

    I didn't notice it. Tough love is still love though. It's those stuff ups Jong needs to get out of his game to really reach his potential.

    It stood out to me as Macrae is such a quiet achiever. He was livid in a 'I'm sick of this ****' kind of way and as he was walking back to the middle, a few of the players were getting around him. He's growing into a real leader.

    From everything Ive heard about Jacko, he is a different man on the field to off it - and is supposedly quite vocal on the field, bit of white line fever.

    Isn't JJ back in play? I heard it on SEN last week I think it was.

    How good was the arrogant look on his face when he took that contested mark in the forward 50 in the first quarter. That ball was travelling and it just stopped into those beautiful soft hands as Bont hipped his opponent into the ground. Looked like he'd just swatted a fly. It's a pity he missed the shot at goal.

    I missed it. I was on my knees punching the ground. It hurt but it felt better than trying to deal with what I'd just seen Jong and Murph do.

    I think the most competitive player I've seen. Maybe Scotty West has him covered and Libba sr. was one for making sure everything had been tried before we surrendered. But Jack is right up there.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
