    Possibly. That goal he kicked around the corner in the first was a ripper.

    It was pretty special, not least due to his reliability to keep us in the game. There wasn't any hint of junk time about it.

    Yeah, it wasn't just feasting in a belting which has been a specialty of his. This was 4 quarters of grit and skill, including a run in the ruck.

    Once again, I've been sucked into the Josh Bruce vortex.

    It's a place that fills me with unease..........

    He's not always going to play like that obviously, but if he can cast aside some of the stinking efforts and be consistent with a few games like today here and there then I'm more than happy with him.

    We had some good wins in the clearance and by and large our defence was holding up OK. It got worse before it got better, but we weeent too far off.

    Happy Mother’s Day y’all!! Talk about saving the best ‘til last. I thought we were heading for a belting.

    What did Bevo say to rev the troops?

    Daniel (the architect) was superb that last quarter. Bruce was good all game. Bont did Bont like things too.
    Buku a crowd fave already. Keath’s screamer icing on the cake. And that Treloar goal - wow.

    He kicked 10 a few weeks ago, but agree - this was probably a better effort on a more worthy opponent.

    Nope. He's pretty much saying the place would be a lot better if people thought positive and didn't like, you know wave the tide of emotion or anything. Anyway...

    Didn't there used to be some Cripps vs Bont talk? Cripps hardly sighted today.

    Big signings Williams and Saad were crap.

    It pains me to say it, but Jones was reasonable.

    Cripps is finished. Has been for 18 months. He’s lost a step of pace and has become horrendously selfish trying to do to much to overcompensate. Even that goal he kicks at the end of the game should’ve been a handball over the top to Casboult (?) in the goalsquare by himself.

    I didn't articulate what I was trying to say well. I've apologised to BT&T.
