Three things I've learned. Round 4 vs North
Tell us three things.
Then if you want tell us three more.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Three things I've learned. Round 4 vs North
1. Bevo must call the umpires boss. That was disgusting, playing against 25 men.
2. Bob plays 300 next week.
3. Let's never talk about this game, bar noting 4 premiership points.

Only one for me: Any free we get in our favour from here on will be 200% earned.

Re: Three things I've learned. Round 4 vs North
1) We're not playing well enough to carry Suckling.
2) We're not playing well enough to carry Campbell.
3) Thought it was impossible to loathe Lindsay Thomas any more than I did. I was wrong.

Re: Three things I've learned. Round 4 vs North
1. We still aren't close to being where we should be and I think Bevo feels the same way given his look post game. We're scraping through on some class at the right times.
2. Campbell was magnificent, he was the best ruck out there today.
3. We're heavily reliant on too few at the moment. If Bonti/Stringer/Murphy/Dahl aren't sparking us, there aren't many who will get us back into it.

I thought Campbell was immense and Suckling had a good second half.
The curse is dead.

Re: Three things I've learned. Round 4 vs North
1. Higgins is a big headed turd. Twice he took a mark on 50 and turned his back on play and burned a teamate standing all by himself in the goalsquare. Thanks Shaun.
2. This team is the Kingston Town of the football world. When the heads have stopped bobbing in a close finish it's their head that is invariably in front.
3. We really need to start playing more than one good quarter of footy every week. GWS is who we have to beat to win the flag and they are a mile in front of us at the moment. Clay smith's attack on the footy was a welcome step on the right direction.
I won't mention the umpiring. *!*!*!*!ing hell.

Re: Three things I've learned. Round 4 vs North
Hrovat mouthing off too. Do something at all before you mouth off.
4. Another win to us, and loss to North helps us get better Hrovat compo. The trifecta.

I'll take a dozen of whatever you've been drinking please.
Sorry, saw it another way. Granted Campbell faced quality opposition today but honestly, he's Minson-lite, without the ability to win physical contests. Gets knocked around and out-positioned far too easily for a bloke his size in his role.
As for Suckers, he's gravy when we're going well and utterly maddening when we're not. That ain't necessarily news tho.

Ha. There may be a grain of truth in that.
May I add a fourth?
4) We've seen the handlebar 'stache, sure, but Bevo should've bearded it up sooner.

Re: Three things I've learned. Round 4 vs North
I thought Goldstein was the best ruck on the ground tonight, though Campbell really tried and did enough to keep us in a lot of contests and vastly improved on last week.
From last week versus this week or the weeks preceding I'm not sure I've learned anything new. We're in a holding pattern that is largely between the ears and it needs to be broken.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Tom by himself against arguably the best ruckman in the comp and the assistant they reckon will be better. Career best 37 Hitouts for Tom, and laid 6 tackles. Sure when Roughy is good to go, Roughy plays, but tonight he did his role.
Suckers took a contested Mark inside 50 and kicked us to the win. He bookended the game well, with poor areas. But like Tom, he took his moment when it presented.
