How good was the Tom Boyd mark and goal in that quarter? For a ruckman he's got some decent forward skills

Worth experimenting with him there more often.

If Brisbane decide to tag Macrae at all it might make things interesting.

Shh. It was a fluke. Pipe down, or Jeemak will call hyperbole police again . I just fell a sleep in my dorm on woof and there they were, they mean business.

A beautiful bit of play.
Ably assisted by a lovely block from Webb and the fact that his opponent was Eagles

Hahaha, you're not bad BT. Legend status in being able to carry on with a running joke.

Having to play Dunkley in the ruck just goes to show how poor Trengove, Roughead and Campbell are going. Bevo needs to sit down with list management and discuss his philosophies because its a ridiculous situation.

Im not so sure, Bevo is well planned for this as it gives him 4 midfielders in the centre square contests and if it squeezes forward for the opposition we have a loose man in the back half.
In fairness I think its working for him

Gowers' set shot woes have got to be above the shoulders as he's proving himself to be otherwise a nice finesse, instinctual shot for goal in general play.
If someone can convince him to disconnect his brain when having a set shot he'd be a lovely player.

If thats his philosophy then all good, lets get rid of Roughead, Trengove and Campbell then.

This. We've got probably well over a million a year and three list spots dedicated for the VFL to be top heavy. We've got a talented KPP who looks dangerous forward and should give handy minutes, doing arguably the two hardest and most physical jobs on the ground effectively by himself. That's unfair. Most after kicking a goal run to bench. Poor Tommy ran into the circle to run into Martin!

Exactly.

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.

Lewis Young is a fair way off at the moment

Why oh why no talls ??
It's Etihad not an open ground ?

Naughton gone for the night is hurting us but for the fact Brisbane are missing their shots.

Lipinski is a dream boat, and just the tonic for our goal kicking woes.

Lukas Webb has been really good with his hands tonight. Doing enough to hold his spot
