Three things you've learned. Round six 2021 v GWS Giants
Tell us three things that you know now now that you didn't know this afternoon.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

1. Winning ugly, is still fun
2. Treloar is possibly the best trade, of many good trades
3. Naughton can practice goal kicking

1. Treloar is well and truly a part of the club. Watching him put his arm around Dunkley at full time warmed my heart.
2. Libba's ability to quickly kick or handpass after taking possession is phenomenal.
3. Wayne Carey's fawning over Toby Greene is truly nauseating.

Channel 7 commentary last night was horrible. For whatever reason, JB tried to put us down at any opportunity right from the outset. He’s massively jealous of us. Like most north and saints fans right now. Imagine the fawning if we were a collingwood, Essendon or carlton? I hope we continue to shove it down these imbeciles throats. I actually thought BT was the best last night which is saying something.

Like in 2016 he always mentions our handballs being "suspect". Just like Norm Smith did to Teddy's flick pass.

I noticed that. And BT had to tell him he sees it in every game these days as everyone has copied us. He also kept mentioning how it’s impossible to stop our midfield because of the 6-6-6 rule. Like the AFL should get rid of it just to stop our midfield. He also mentioned 5 times 2 minutes into the game that every team had figured us out to stop our run. Massive inferiority complex with him.

I don't like Hodge either, adds no value.

Re: Three things you've learned. Round six 2021 v GWS Giants
1. Teams that play rough like Port of yesteryear, and Giants just don't get to the top. Expend too much energy.
2. Lin Jong is probably past it. Sad to say.
3. Dale as HB I never could have imagined. Works so well.

Re: Three things you've learned. Round six 2021 v GWS Giants
1. Our system stacks up, even when execution falters. Our defense is undermanned? Well go ahead, get it in there.. oh you can't? Sorry 22 of our players are buying in and defending the whole ground.
2. Our Match committee has the players on edge, and they're getting it right. It's awesome that we're questioning Lippa, Young getting dropped. The group knows (we don't) what they're expected to do to keep their spot, and that's a good thing.
3. Our midfield is standing up to the hype. So diverse a range of skills, but one similarity, they all like it hot!

Re: Three things you've learned. Round six 2021 v GWS Giants
1 - We have an uncanny ability to turn it on for a quarter and blow the opposition out of the water.
2 - A great balance of grunt, pace and skills.
3 - Dale continues to impress.
Really looking forward to the test next week against the competitions benchmark team.

Number 1 is great GVGjr, but an extension is how we didn't go to water when we didn't own things execution wise. We will lose games in the next 16 weeks, but it won't be on the back of a poor system: it will be execution.

Re: Three things you've learned. Round six 2021 v GWS Giants
1. Macrae Treloar and Dunkley brilliant in the midfield
2. Good to see Cordy play so well in his first game back
3. Serious injuries to Dunkley English and Jong was a real dampener on the win

1. Toby Greene still has a face you wanna.....
2. Watching Treloar run from mid thru 50 and goaling is orgasmic.
3. Beating GWS continues to taste sweet.
I will never see #16 the same!!

Re: Three things you've learned. Round six 2021 v GWS Giants
1. Our defensive work is so impressive, whether backline or Forward line.
2. Injuries may bite, so our depth will be tested.
3. Martin has made a massive difference to the club
