Well colour me shocked!

Those are the exact games we typically lose. Well done to the lads for fighting it out and making an arse of me.

We're improving but we need to get more clinical and stop these damn run ons.

We've responded well the last 2 weeks at least.

100%. The forward line continues to be a work in progress. Hopefully it clicks one day.

Arty was the difference. Had a hand in several key plays late as well as a brilliant individual goal. His improvement has been nothing short of incredible.

Smith was also massive. A great goal and just so much run.

I was cursing his name all night but English was important late too.

I’m spewing Duryea missed the goal late.

GG would’ve spewed up!

Lobb continues to kick a few goals a game. He is nothing extraordinary but at least he is able to contribute

Close to the worst miss ever. Open goal. He could have waltzed in.

McNeil didn't touch the ball

Commentators saying Arty loves to presdure and tbat's his main value.
Bailey Dale asked to nominate Brownlow points says I have no idea cos I concentrate on defence but maybe English for
getting behind the ball and Richards early.
Huge surprise to radio me, Richards by far, Tim a bad game.

You guys ever watched the movie Unforgiven? That felt a lot like the movie Unforgiven.

Yeah.... Bailey Smith in the last Qtr definitely seemed like late movie William Munny. He was brutal in the last qtr, unrelenting.

Agree with you Bulldogs Bite . Arty was staggering- he is quick of mind and body. One of his plays on wing in I think Q3 didn’t pan out but it was bloody spectacular.

JJ was good too.

So good to see Smith back to his best and his disposals hit the mark tonight. Libba was good too.

I had the weirdest feeling, even when they took the lead that we were going to win somehow. First time this has happened. I?m not superstitious but hope I?m on a good thing!!!

I honestly thought we were gone, especially after that quick reply to Libba's goal.
Arty was fantastic in the last and I thought English turned it around in the contest and contributed a lot to our win.

Bailey Smith really lifted and Weightman too. Anthony Scott with three goals was very important to the win.

Our defenders stood up under a lot of pressure. Richards was immense and at times heroic. JJ gave us a lot of run. Consider that we kept two of the best forwards in the game to two goals between them. Good effort.

Arty was brilliant. Adds a lot to this team by not being a one dimensional player like weightman.

Thought Weightman was good in the last.

Let’s be honest O’Donnell was close to a liability

The forward line is the weakness now. Our defence structure has been superb lately. Need to hit our forwards advantage and crumb better.

Seemed to play up the ground and was involved in quiet a bit of play. I thought he was pretty good in that last quarter

I'm surprised he got a point

Actually wasn't too bad tonight to be fair.
