Yeah, he was fantastic all day. His short and long kicking off half back is such a weapon too. Rapt for him.

He gets such a nice trajectory on his longer kicks, there was a couple in the last that were lovely to see.

I thought Bailey Smith's goal in the 3rd arrested Brisbane's momentum as they tried to mount a comeback with the breeze in the 3rd. Naughton fluffed a couple of chances and it was looking like there was a wall in front of the goals at that end before Bailey's clinical finish

That's a really good call. It looked as if the Lions had stepped it up and I commented to my friend the game has gone up a notch and we need to find one or two.

Was also good to see Bailey confidently put a set shot through against the wind as he's had a few yippy moments in the last year or so.

Special mention to the goal post getting in the way of the shot on goal from McArthy twenty minutes into the third after the Hipwood goal. Brisbane were up and about and a goal then would have really made it tight.

I felt pretty comfortable after we won the first quarter - and that 1st quarter lead was set up by Tim English. His goal late in the third was probably the moment that removed any little doubt.

Wasn't an overly memorable game, but we were never really a risk of losing to a team that was top 4 last season. We deserve to have a lot of faith in this bulldogs team.

Tim English's set shot in the third after his "mark" on Adams.
It halted Brisbane's run and was the type of shot most 207cm+ guys in windy conditions just can't nail.

My moment was when English nails a mark in the first, goes back and slots and then does it again moments later - against the wind.

His ability to rise up and take two good marks (one on a lead and one contested) when the first quarter was still live and an arm-wrestle set up our lead which Brisbane couldn't get back for the rest of the game.
