One more time, three things.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Three things you've learned finals week one 2021 v Essendon
1. Cody Weightman is a Future Captain. A young man that can will 21 others into action. Amazing.
2. Will the media report Cody gets 4 from frees, or Essendon got 50% of all goals from 50’s ?
3. Gardner is a huge upgrade on Cordy. Schache able to help out down back early, but then kicks 2 and arguably the sealer

1. Lewis Young has done the 'Joel Hamling'. Come into the side at the right time and cemented his spot. Can't see him being dropped this series.
2. We are a demonstrably better team when Alex Keath plays.
3. Never has the 'In Bevo we trust' mantra been more applicable.

1. Treloar and Dunkley getting better by the week.
2. Alex Keath is a very good defender (Dixon 0-0, 2MP 0-0), well supported by Williams, Dale, Duryea and (today) Wood.
3. Young and Schache earned their selections and should stay in the team next week.

Re: Three things you've learned finals week one 2021 v Essendon
had to work today.
opened my browser and almost fell off my chair with delight.
1. Bombers 7th finals loss. That I did not know. See you next year bombers.
2. Cody weightman has overtaken Hunter as the Coat-hanger king.
3. Josh has a beautiful kicking action. I forgot how good a set shot he is. Well done mate!

Re: Three things you've learned finals week one 2021 v Essendon
1. We are a top 4 team - missed by percentage but won i a crucial final
2. If one mid is not playing well, we have plenty more to back up
3. Bevo is a master at planning and on game day.

I know we have Bont et al but for mine Keath (structurally) is our most important player.

Re: Three things you've learned finals week one 2021 v Essendon
1. These days, our bottom 6 are pretty good
2. 2019 SF, Cordy and JJ in the team = loss
2020 SF, Cordy and JJ in the team = loss
2021 SF, Cordy and JJ NOT in the team = WIN
3, Schache definitely has a role up forward, and Hannan can play
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

1. If you are not good enough to kick a goal in an entire half of football, then you have no right to complain about a couple of dubious free kicks.
2. Current form means very little come finals time.

I think we find out this weekend if we are a top 4 team as beating a team that just crept into the finals and who won less than 50% of their games across the season isn't really something to hang our hat on.

1. There is still some fire in the boys' bellies
2. Cody Weightman is brilliant
3. BigFooty is a purulent cesspit and should be scoured from the internet by a vengeful and righteous fire

I feel there’s a story here. Do tell.

1. Cody is a great set shot.
2. Schache is a great set shot.
3. Having natural forwards means that you make the most of your chances.

1. A forward line with some nous around goals can kick you a score - the Schache late change was pivotal, well done.
2. English can be effective as the 2nd ruck in bursts, there’s no need to hide him from it
3. Finishing 5th might’ve been worth it just to beat Essendon in a final
