Re: 3 things you've learned-Round 19 vs Essendon
1. We can win after playing in Cairns
2. We still haven't lost when Lewis Young has played.
3. Where's has this been? It's damn good.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: 3 things you've learned-Round 19 vs Essendon
3. That's one loss back, I didn't expect to win today.
2 Winning a premiership is better than beating Essendon in front of a thumping home crowd. But only just.
1. It's nice to have the drug thing out the way and just get back to hating Essendon just because they are Essendon. And their supporters smell funny. That club song is a bit of a drag. And who matches black with red? With a sash. Puhlease!

Re: 3 things you've learned-Round 19 vs Essendon
1. Jobe Watson is done. Wasn't sad to watch, but geez he is slow and ordinary.
2. We should give Libba a negating role each week, he played a good game today.
3. Working on our goal kicking is having an effect. Good to see our conversion getting better."Loves a scrap....oh yeah & he's a pretty handy footballer as well"Comment

Re: 3 things you've learned-Round 19 vs Essendon
1. Love beating one of my most hated clubs
2. We have a very young backline but it functioned beautifully without Boyd, Morris and Murph (played mostly forward.
3. All the teams in the 8 must be panicking that we have found our mojo.FFC: Established 1883

Re: 3 things you've learned-Round 19 vs Essendon
1. Flog Goddard is a flog. Pushing McLean's head into the turf was low, even for him.
2. Zaine Cordy's defensive efforts continue to grow. His importance in the finals last year was underrated, and he is consolidating now. Forming a great partnership with Lewis Young.
3. JJ has got his mojo back. He was also left completely alone by the opposition, but it was so nice to see him running and accelerating with ball in hand.Comment

Re: 3 things you've learned-Round 19 vs Essendon
1. Tory Dickson is back! So important to our forward line with his marking, leading, crumbing, speed and accuracy
2. Libba still not getting it enough but he hasn't forgotten how to kick
3. Game. On.
May the first 15 games be remembered only for the position they put us in when we started to turn things aroundIf you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Re: 3 things you've learned-Round 19 vs Essendon
1. We can win the week after the Cairns trip (I knew this, but worth mentioning!)
2. Cloke and Dicko make us better.
3. Libba is not done with season 2017. Some great signs today.[B][COLOR="#0000CD"]Our club was born in blood and boots, not in AFL focus groups.[/COLOR][/B]Comment

Re: 3 things you've learned-Round 19 vs Essendon
1. Our new young young'uns are doing very well - Webb, Young, Williams, Dale, McLean and - saving the best for last - Zaine Cordy had some epic moments
2 Some of our old uns are back in form. Dahl was really good today. Ran hard, linked well, delivered well, sure hands. Dicko made every kick count. JJ was blistering. Libba played his best game for 12 weeks. Picken - just so ultra competitive. Murph - class is eternal, form is ephemeral. Biggsie played like a mobile barrier that gave us a lot of drive.
3. Cale Hooker got touched up by the Karma Gods.[URL="http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau"]http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau[/URL]

Re: 3 things you've learned-Round 19 vs Essendon
Considering he effectively tagged Merrett today, I reckon his performance was his best for sometime. Merrett can carve up sides.
1. How much quicker do we look when JJ is up and about? Electric today.
2. Biggs is in the middle of a purple patch and is currently our best defender.
3. Dahlhaus has really lowered his eyes the last few weeks and has stopped just blazing.I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.Comment

Re: 3 things you've learned-Round 19 vs Essendon
1. Libba, a different challenge set for him today. Did it well, nullified Merret's effect and also got on the scoreboard. More pleasingly I saw him lift his workrate at the contest, second, third and 4th efforts to scrabble for the ball.
2. Big moment's Bont..just crucial when we needed someone to say 'Not on my watch'.
3. The composure of our young guys. Lewis Young, Bailey Williams, Zaine Cordy & Lukas Webb. They took the game on, stood tall when things got hot and ultimately are growing in stature before our eyes.
3. JJ & Biggs...their resurgence is welcome and vital to our gameplan working.Comment
