    But...his marking. Have we ever had a player grab the ball like that? The bullet pass from Bont which he caught so cleanly. The leaps over the packs. He was sensational in the air. I thought his kicking had improved lately but it just doesn’t do justice to his elite play in other areas.

    It was a weird game. Flat and, well, boring in parts. Not helped by the lethargic and dopey commentating. How Brayshaw gets a gig is beyond me. To think Kelly Underwood got criticised for her voice. He is staccato, unfluent and bone lazy in his lack of knowledge and insight into what’s going on.

    Poor Lin Jong, this game is cruel. I can’t imagine how he’s feeling tonight. He could so easily have been a premiership player but he has never had a scintilla of luck.

    I hate to say it but Green was involved in 5 of the first 6 goals. His probably one of the best one touch balance in the comp and looks so balanced whenever he goes near the ball. His a freakish in terms of how he reads the play unfold and his ability to get to the ball, grab it and execute. That 60 m first goal was phenomenal.

    What was JJ role today ? He looked very rusty and just could not pick up the ball cleanly. His spot at risk. The way the backline is setup now and played, it did not suit his run and carry. Once GWS cut that off, we had to ping the ball accurately.

    I feel for in Jong when he went down, he could have been anything except these bloody injuries. His injured his hammies a few times now. I hope he makes a fast recovery.

    As much as he's easy to hate, Greene is an elite player and we would love to have someone of his ability and mindset in our side as a small/medium fwd. If anything, the captaincy has made him take another level, which is a sign of a great player.

    Anyone listen to the Press Conference? The media actually knew what they were talking about and had interesting questions. Credit to who ever was there asking those.

    Pretty sure it was just Jude Bolton asking Bevo questions.

    Tim English injury was horrifying. Naughton Came right into his teammate and seemed a bit careless to me. It's fine to be able to launch yourself at a pack as he does but a bit of awareness helps.

    In the heat of play it's impossible for players to gainsay where others around them are going to put their bodies in the contest. I think it's a case of "See ball, get ball." And hope no one gets hurt by friendly fire.

    Naughton is an exceptional pack mark - the best going around at the moment. Long may he launch.

    So the first three quarters was very much bulldog footy from 17-20 very little reward for effort but this is a different team now. We were playing a young side who had parked the bus but once we broke the shackles we did what good teams do and put them away quickly.

    I'm loving our centre bounce work and particularly loving when Trealor holds himself and follows the footy just outside the contest and then explodes away. He is definitely taking an extra step and finishing beatifuly atm, that last quarter goal is what you go to the footy to see.

    It was so much better than usual. I'm so used to hearing crap like this:

    "Good win tonight Bevo, you've got to be happy with that?"
    "What did you think of X incident?"
    "What did you think of X decision"
    Etc etc.

    Did anyone else notice, apart from the evidence in scratches, how often Bont was getting scragged and held off the ball? It probably happens most weeks but I thought it was more noticeable last night.

    Also the umpiring was really off last night. I know we benefited mostly from it, but I knew after half time when we had a large differential that the umpiring would change for the second half. Low and behold it did and we started to see some strange decisions in their favour. You can set your watch to them evening up the tally.

    I missed the game last night so catching up now. I see that coward Nick Haynes subbed himself out early out of fear of Bontempelli, interesting strategy.

    I was happy that Finlayson had a stinker. Hate that guy.

    Snake man.

    Is there any update on Dunks or does anyone have any idea about this type of injury? What are the options can it be wrapped up and managed through a season or is he going to require surgery with a view to a later round return?

    Hi absence cannot be understated. He's been pretty equal to our best player over the past 6 weeks and not having him out there is going to hurt us dearly.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
