    Three things you have learned R16 V Geelong

    Okelydokely people, how about you tell us three things that you know now that you didn't know before the game.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    1. I guess don't write us off. Port at Port. Geelong the week after with heavy legs and sore bodies.
    2. McLean should never be dropped again.
    3. The Naughton/Schache combo is bearing fruit. 10 goals combined in 3 weeks. Both work hard together, and either one gets off the chain while Lloyd and others work around them.

    Our get-out kicks at CHB are becoming ridiculously good. McLean and JJ both had absolute rippers in the last.

    Speaking of McLean, whatever Bevo wanted to achieve, he clearly did. Beast awakened.

    We're starting to win the 'big moments' that win football games.

    1. We outworked Dangersellablett. That's unbelievable and didn't think it would be possible for such long periods of the game.
    2. To show a highlights reeel of our clangers would surprise anyone that we won that game.
    3. Geelong's air dominance didn't pay off because they think they are too cool for f*** school. They don't want the streetfight our boys brought to them.

    Maclean back in his rightful position was a stand out.
    The class of Naughton shone brightly tonight
    The ability to outplay the Cats in the midfield was a key factor in the great win

    1. How good can we be once we learn to not sit on our balls....???
    2. Our coach, really still has this group. We've dropped or held back in the two's a number of players, and they've all responded. Lippa had to relearn his craft in a new inside-ish role, Trengove had to bid his time, Richards, Schache too.... and Maclean.....
    Maclean. boy did he get his Mojo back tonight when it REALLY mattered.
    3. Naughton....yep Kolo...( a series of consontents and vowels) was out of the game early...but bloody hell. We would've been a hot mess up front without his influence. STAR!

    1. If we get our shit together we'll be pure evil.
    2. Bailey Williams just starting to become more pronounced.
    3. The disappointment on Dahlhaus' face at the end of the game brought me a significant amount of joy.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    I'd love to know what Jack Madras whispered in his ear after Luke got that dodgy free in the 3rd.

    Just on that....what does he/we(club) need to do to extend his contract. Is it more in his or the club's lane to decide?

    2 weeks ago there had been no discussions regarding a contract. I'd like us to be a bit more proactive because he's talented enough

    Naughton will kick 10 one day.
    Trengove should be prohibited from short passing on the backline.
    The look on Scotts face is remarkably similar to that of Ross Lyon and Don Pyke.

    1. Saturday night games start at 7:25, not 7:40 - sounds like I only missed the rubbish parts though.

    2. Schache has gained some mental toughness over the course of the year. A quiet start against Collingwood saw him drop his bundle; tonight he kept at it and won some crucial clearances in the last quarter. A pretty dirty day but he can be proud of himself regardless.

    3. Bont's gonna win the Brownlow. Dogs are gonna win the flag. How good is footy.
