    1. We can turn around 49 points in 20 minutes. *!*!*!*!ing hell thats insane.
    2. Schache knockers on social media and the Internet, say sorry.
    3. Libba is one of our most important players.

    1. I often sell Tom Libba short. At times he is our most important player.
    2. Watching formally smug *!*!*!*!ing Hawthorn supporters screaming at the umpires just makes the win even more satisfying.
    3. I love this club.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite

    3. I learnt that I can actually be wrong. Yep thought we were gone at 3/4 time, and the box had been cooked by Clarkson.
    2. This group are back and on the March.
    1. We are building something good. It feels different. To me it’s the fabric of the club

    Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

    1. These lads are made of the right stuff.
    2. Josh Schache could be huge for us.
    3. I get great enjoyment from watching Dawks flogs trudging out before the final siren. Especially the prick who shoved the Bulldogs gentleman near me, who uses an electric wheelchair,and not one person apart from ground staff told him to pull his head in.

    1. Our back 6 are once again a very tight unit, if not very tall.
    2. Libba has definitely got his groove back... look out opposition mids.
    3. Took some stones for our coaching group to make the call to move Naughton forward...especially off the back of the Wood fiasco last year. He didn't star today, but off the back of his dominance last week, Hawks clearly had a plan to put time into him, and our other forwards prospered as a result.

    1. I learnt my confidence in the team this year was warranted
    2. One of the first times we have played such a tall team with the old fashion spine, and it works.
    3. Libba certainly does make a difference to this team

    1. We can hit the scoreboard hard when it clicks for us.
    2. Schache can be a big time player for us. Was enormous today.
    3. Beating the Hawks at the MCG never gets tired.

    1. Tory Dickson still has a lot to offer. He was very important in the comeback
    2. Josh Schache is stronger this year
    3. Eastern Wood is leading from the back.

    1. Libba might be our best player, which is saying something considering Bont and Macrae, but there's something intangible about the way he can impact a game and our side spiritually.

    2. Schache/Naughton is an exciting combo - was unsure of it given our key defensive woes but we should stick it out. Great future, let's hope Young can keep building and hold down a KPD spot.

    3. Duryea and Lloyd are important low key ins - a lot weren't a fan of either but I didn't mind the rationale and their contributions have been very solid two weeks in. Take them out and put 2 kids in and it's a big difference. Both use the ball well most of the time and are decent runners who can play multiple positions.

    Lloyd especially has surprised me. He is a fantastic user of the pill. He makes the right decision and executes the skill well.

    Only learnt one thing, there’s no greater feeling that when you’re in another time zone, waking up and seeing we’ve won. Especially against those pretentious silver spoon flogs!

    Re: 3 Things I've Learned - Round 2 vs Hawthorn 2019

    1) We can win without Bonti starring, especially when Libba is on song
    2) Schache and Naughton could be the KPP we have been waiting for - including some deft touches and 1%ers
    3) It looks like overall the team’s disposal by foot has improved heaps from last 2 years

    And just gotta sat this - it is delicously naughtily nice when Sicily gives 2 free kicks away that leads to two goals that helped us win (he he he)

    1. Libba is exactly what this team needed. He inspires those around him.

    2. Problem: Hawthorn kill us when we turn the ball over.
    Remedy: Don't turn the ball over.
    As soon as we cleaned up our ball use we defended well and scored well.

    3. Schache could be one of our best ever trades.
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!
