    Yeah this was my choice, everything going right for us and pear for them.
    *Bale, this will be the easiest goal you ever kick.

    He was important. Won't get the laudits but did a ton of heavy lifting in the air and a heap of pressure acts. Exactly what we need from him. Great game.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Since being recalled, he’s played 7 (concussed in one), he’s kicked 13.2, 2 goal assists and worked his arse off. He’s growing into the player we all want him to be.

    A good moment for me is when we were defending like crazy as if the game was on the line in the last quarter just to deny them their second goal. We were ruthless.

    The work everyone had to do to get Dicko his first goal, and the fact Dicko was clever enough to position himself to keep the footy in front of him.

    Watch it again, it's the genuine hallmark of good forward craft what Tory did there, positioned himself properly to either get a free kick against a desperate defender or have a free run at goal against a trailing defender - without ever actually handling the footy.

    At times this year that would have been an opportunity wasted, but early in the game Tory did what he had to do to get a goal.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    13.2 wow that is great going. Just what we need.

    The end to end transition with the premiership winning style overlap run which resulted in Hayes kicking a nice goal from 35 out was just beautiful to watch

    Whoever called that a training run was right on the money. You dream of it going that well at training and not hitting the ground. In a match...
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    You've usually got some sort of opposition in the way in a training run.

    Geez they were bloody awful. I'm trying to think of a less dispirited side that I have seen over the journey but apart from a few of the teams we put onto the field in the early '80s (and a few of the blokes we picked back then didn't really deserve a spot on talent or form in a side supposedly competing at the top level) I'm struggling

    Griff famously mentioned Richmond and how they didn't try- was it round 1 2006. At least the Tigers kicked 7 to our 25

    And from that moment Griffen never said boo again.
