2 and a half Qtrs brilliant. 20 minute period..was a reprise of 2017-2018.
BUT.... the crucial thing... we didn't roll out Doggies 2017-18.. We found a way to regroup and respond.
Well done Dogs.

Who gives a sh1t about what jumper we were wearing now? They stood pretty tall!

Awesome. Now burn those f*#n jumpers.

Collectors items now especially if a one off. Bailey Smith's first game and a win.

Libba's kicking into 50 to targets was good with Naughton Scache Gowers.
Caleb's spoiling was heroic and he is balanced when he hits the ground.

Bont strolls in to kick a vital goal - it was dejavu all over again. Go Dogs!

Good win. Loved the hard running and attack on the footy. We were fit and hard at the ball. Something missing from 2018. Almost ran out of puff, but found a way to win. Good spread of contributors and very few passengers.

Would have lost that game last year

Nice to have a win!

Lots to like, lots to work on!

And nice to see ‘the Bont’ moving freely.

Holy shit we looked very good in that first half. To let them back but still hold on was awesome. My ticker was tested tonight. Libba Wood and a eew other boys back tonight. And Naughton how good are his hands. He is a competitive little bugger. Great start boys WELL DONE

Good team performance. We had a pretty even spread over the night. Quite a few clangers and goal kicking was again an issue. Could not fault our attack on the ball especially in the last quarter when things got a bit desperate. I was very impressed with Caleb Daniel. He contested everything and got us out of trouble many times. Our undersized defence did well.
It was great having Libba back and Wally also did a power of work. Was a bit of a worry the way we got sliced up in the last but was great that we saw them off and ran over them.

Home now. Great win to start 2019. We played great in the 1st half and they came at us in the 2nd half but I was very pleased we held firm to get the victory.

Go Dogs!

That's my main takeaway.
So much of this game is played above the shoulders; is the common refrain.
We found a way. I hope that instills belief.

I joked somewhere back there about why we didn't go the whole hog and trot out Bevo in the Thor helmet.

He's got the hammers on the desk in post game presser so I gather the marketing department frequents this forum.
