When Dale scrounged a kick forward and it landed in Schache’s lap. When the chips are down, those things never go your way - but it was reflective of us having the run today.

Naughts' right foot snap goal from the boundary had me thinking back to Tommy Boyd's left foot snap from the pocket in the Granny.

Cody's second goal from a free (that he didn't even play for - I think it was a push int he back?). He plays as if he's a foot taller and the opposition don't know what to do with him.

That free to Cody was fortunate but Josh Schache was pushed fair and square in the back in the marking contest - blatant and missed by the ump. So hustice was done with the Cody free.

It was early but for me the smother from Weightman in the first quarter. I think that the set the tone snd things started to change fir us. Yes it was a slow grind but this was the start of us laying a tackle that stuck and the spoils flowed from this.

The Shaq composure to Vanda at the top of the square was probably the sealer. Also, finished off a great game from Shaq which included taking his chances from two crucial set pieces

Was the moment I felt like we were home.

Yeah that was really good from Cody as well along with his goal kicking today. Our pressure early on was a concern but we fixed that pretty quickly and controlled that game really well.

Amazing from a first year player. This is why you draft forwards and play them forward

Not the first time a flea smother has got us going.

Yeah but he didn’t play last year. Anyway for a kid less than 20 games in it’s amazing. Could he be the next Brad Johnston I wonder.

Naughton’s goal from the boundary was a dagger. I think that was like in a movie where in a battle the character fights on but only later, his partner realises they’ve taken a gut shot and are going to bleed out and die.

That goal was a bullet into their guts. They fought on for a bit, but once the adrenaline wore off, RIP Bombers.

Some quality visuals there; funny analogy. For such a hard shot from that angle he seemed so confident too.

He did? I was convinced it would go out on the full based on his facial expression.

Had a feeling we might be ok once it sailed through.

I think he played 5 games, still remember his first kick was a goal from the opposite boundary
