Seriously loving Ed Richards tonight. He is a ripper. Him and Bailey Williams on HBFs for a long time....

Young has some very poor traits he has to iron out quick. He's very lacklustre in tackle effort.

Loved Lukas Webb's hands this quarter under severe pressure.

Our defensive midfield efforts in keeping Zorko, Beams and Rich quiet have thus far been good. Although HC has had a couple of shockers with ball in hand, he is doing well on Zorko and am enjoying how much he annoys the Brisbane players.

Jeez Hodge is cooked. He is a liability to them.

That was a very handy late goal

Bit of silk from the Bont to close out the quarter.

Yeah I can't believe they're playing him. He's a witches hat.

On another note, is it giving anyone else the shits that Sandy Roberts keeps saying "Caleb Daniels"?

Hang on...we kicked a late quarter goal?

A good team would have made us pay a lot more on the counter tonight but we’re getting away with it.

Still not sure how he's a good fit for 'light and easy' anymore either.

So many great little things that quarter. I could go on and on, and I will.

That Webby block. No stat for awesome teamsmanship.
The handball from Lippa to draw the holding free kick and goal, just priceless.
Zaine Cordy showing Lewis Taylor the disdain for skills the 339 AFL players showed him on the best first year player award. With a huge hit, tackle shake off and then a big kick inside.
Gowers finish on the run. To me he's 'Cheap Stringer'. Will do the dumb, can do the very good, flies at marks he won't get. But as Grey pointed out, he's two goals ahead of Stringer for goals this year with a half to cone.
Tommy Boyd doing the two hardest and most physical jobs on the ground, pretty well. Love to Tom Boyd.

Some really small things, to hold onto, when good teams start putting us away later on.

Freudian slip?

Sucking has been excellent tonight. Its nice to see his foot skills on display and generally defending well.

Honey frustrates more than he earns accolades, but his super quick hands were pivotal to that late goal to Bont eventuating.

It's a funny thing. Jong and Honey had pretty much the same stats last week, but the latter did more clever contested and smart footy stuff, and it's probably what saved him for a role on Zorko. I can see the review this week being high in praise of Webb and his hands, effort and smarts.
