    Watched the whole game and thought Young did pretty well. Free to Lynch against him in the first was an awful decision. For the most part he spoiled well and was in the contest without being outmarked. Pamicked a bit with the ball, but overall a reasonable game.

    Playing alongside of Keath rather than in the ruck would have been ideal for us and would have given him the best chance to play in his more natural position.

    Young will never be THE guy, but he can be A guy.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Frees to Saints diabolical. I am independent but I would be filthy if a Dons supporter.

    Dons to win.
    Saints with a difficult run of games until ours.
    Feeling predatory.

    I've noticed loads of teams getting huge runs of goals in a row, I believe that the ability to get on a roll out of the centre and the limitations introduced with new rules to defend they're happening more frequently.

    It could just be me. I think we piled on 8? v the Demons in rd 1 in a row for eg.

    Saints lazy AF getting back in transition all game. Holding space without urgency is worse than crowding with urgency. Both are bad, but the Saints were shit as.

    If we can get our act together we can beat everyone no problem except Richmond, Geelong, Melbourne and Brisbane. Those four teams are a big challenge, the rest are flimsy.

    I guess our issue is making sure we're not as flimsy as we have been/ can be.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.
