Re: Game Day Round 17 2015 - Western Bulldogs V Collingwood

Considering their lack of top level footy, i thought Prudden and Campbell did quite well today in what was quite a frenetic game. Tom had much more of a pack presence than Will ever has and injury aside, should hold his spot for next week. Biggs was very good. Talia had one to forget. But given his early season form and with another key back in the team, could still have a future.

Loved our use of Murphy. If Biggs can perfrom at that level along with Boyd and JJ we can afford to throw Murphy anywhere.

He is so smart on the lead, times his leads perfectly and noone can go with him. A couple of times today it reminded me of his years at CHF constantly leading up and playing on straight away into forward 50.

I watched this on twitter and on bad internet at ballina airport and it still looked pretty good. We are a thing!

We're trending! Congrats to the marketing division

I'm still feeling pretty stoked about winning this one. That was a pretty young team we put out. It had no defence to speak of. But they held it together and got the result. And led pretty much all day too. Except for the first five minutes we spent the game increasing the lead and apart from a little brain fart in the last quarter it was vini vidi vici.

Based on average games, we were the youngest over round 17 at 73.1 games, just below GWS and Carlton.

Yesterday, showed that we have more depth. We won well despite the absence of some key figures. The blokes who came in all played their roles. There is serious competition for a spot in the 22 and when players get a chance they don;t want to blow it. I think there would be quite a debate around who are our best 22 at the moment.

I just watched the replay again, but the pregame this time. The young person tossing the coin was in a wheelchair and who tossed the coin did so having the coin on the end of a plastic ruler being held in their mouth. In a bygone era that probably wouldn't have been allowed. It was also good seeing them decked out in their and our colours and Bobby being genuinely warm.

The bonus for me was the performance of both Hunter and Biggs and improvement of Crameri after an ordinary year. Considering who was out of the team this was a gutsy win. We will be further strengthened with the return of Hamling Roberts Roughead and Stevens.

What reason did they give when you asked them why they had lost the previous 4 with Elliot and Cloke in?

They must have had their best player and reigning B&F out, because...

... oh no, that was us

They played the best 3 teams in the comp plus Port who were never going to lose as a tribute to Phil Walsh...Meh!

They said they would have beaten us yesterday with Cloke and Elliott playing because we 'ain't that good'.. I said no we aren't, but were good enough to comfortably beat you guys with our 3 first choice tall defenders not playing, but they don't care about that.
