1. Winning ugly, is still fun
2. Treloar is possibly the best trade, of many good trades
3. Naughton can practice goal kicking

Re: Three things you've learned. Round six 2021 v GWS Giants

1. Treloar is well and truly a part of the club. Watching him put his arm around Dunkley at full time warmed my heart.
2. Libba's ability to quickly kick or handpass after taking possession is phenomenal.
3. Wayne Carey's fawning over Toby Greene is truly nauseating.

1. Teams that play rough like Port of yesteryear, and Giants just don't get to the top. Expend too much energy.
2. Lin Jong is probably past it. Sad to say.
3. Dale as HB I never could have imagined. Works so well.

Re: Three things you've learned. Round six 2021 v GWS Giants

1. Our system stacks up, even when execution falters. Our defense is undermanned? Well go ahead, get it in there.. oh you can't? Sorry 22 of our players are buying in and defending the whole ground.

2. Our Match committee has the players on edge, and they're getting it right. It's awesome that we're questioning Lippa, Young getting dropped. The group knows (we don't) what they're expected to do to keep their spot, and that's a good thing.

3. Our midfield is standing up to the hype. So diverse a range of skills, but one similarity, they all like it hot!

Re: Three things you've learned. Round six 2021 v GWS Giants

1 - We have an uncanny ability to turn it on for a quarter and blow the opposition out of the water.
2 - A great balance of grunt, pace and skills.
3 - Dale continues to impress.

Really looking forward to the test next week against the competitions benchmark team.

1. Macrae Treloar and Dunkley brilliant in the midfield
2. Good to see Cordy play so well in his first game back
3. Serious injuries to Dunkley English and Jong was a real dampener on the win

Re: Three things you've learned. Round six 2021 v GWS Giants

1. Toby Greene still has a face you wanna.....
2. Watching Treloar run from mid thru 50 and goaling is orgasmic.
3. Beating GWS continues to taste sweet.

Re: Three things you've learned. Round six 2021 v GWS Giants

1. Our defensive work is so impressive, whether backline or Forward line.
2. Injuries may bite, so our depth will be tested.
3. Martin has made a massive difference to the club

1. There is no better way to start the weekend than by beating the plastic pretenders led by the thug.
2. McNeil is showing good signs.
3. Keath is marshalling the backline pretty well.

Re: Three things you've learned. Round six 2021 v GWS Giants

1. This is the best midfield I've seen in our colours.
2. This might be the best midfield I've ever seen full stop
3. Naughton continues to add something to his game every few weeks. The "take the mark in front of the pack then turn and hit the ground running looking for/hitting up an option closer to goal" play is the mark of the truly elite key forwards. He has also kicked multiple goals in all of our games this year, I think that only 3 other players have done that this season. If he can stay injury free he could become the most valuable player in the competition.

Number 1 is great GVGjr, but an extension is how we didn't go to water when we didn't own things execution wise. We will lose games in the next 16 weeks, but it won't be on the back of a poor system: it will be execution.

1 the defensive system is very robust.
2 our footy might not be purely effort based anymore, didn’t require full tilt mania to get going.
3 lots of noticeable s ray he’s on Bont and Macrae around the face and upper body.

For a big man, his turning circle is very compact. You can see when turns his taking small steps but they are super quick. Just phenomenal to watch how quick and agile for that size at ground level.
