I was driving back from Sydney and missed the game - is it worth a watch? I felt a bit like it was all downside - lose and we'd have lost to North Melbourne, win and we hadn't really proved anything. I see at a glance we were super accurate as usual, though I appreciate Cody getting 6(!)

Some hair pulling moments but also some great individual efforts. Safe in the knowledge that we won and the stressful moments don't matter, I would watch it.

With respect, your point is?

With equal respect, several points
(a) I remember my secondary school French lessons;
(b) ifs. Even "les Francais" worked out that after 3 years, it's results that count.

He was a great kick not just in APS but from memory of watching his NAB League games. I’m a little lost how he could have such a reliable routine in his goal kicking and now you’d bet against him every shot.

What is injury to O’Brien?

Hurtful comments on woof.

But really his hamstring

Feel for him his body doesn't hold up, he is at the crossroads.

Thought Westy was solid, just did the basics but was effective.

A hamstring. Not what he needed.

Come on it’s not like we are losing a top liner. He is delist material. More a blessing in disguise

My prayers, not bets, are that anyone wearing R-W-B hooped jumpers will kick straight. Individual v Team. I'm on the side of the latter. APS and U18 are boys, not gym-hardened, multiple AFL gamed men. No 1 draft picks who don't perform, end up, like McCartin who at least had medical issues, at other clubs in defence. It's the team, not the individual. If Ugle-Hagan can play a role delivering to goal kickers, fine, to date he's unreliable as a goal kicker, 3 years now, and has shown little in any other capacity.

Not sure how you went down this path? my comment, as per others was about his decision to release the ball away aimlessly when he didn?t need to. He has cost us goals at crucial times this year and it needs to stop.

My point is Libba is THE best in and under player we have, so what if he makes the odd error, doesn't everyone ? If you can pinpoint multiple instances of it happening that cost us GAMES I would take your point,

Bevo. JOD. Bruce. Gardner. All were solid in the VFL. So there are some boys who can come in and play those roles, even though they were not at their best the week prior. Aaron is important for us forward, so it is unlikely he plays back as we have options. So Naughts will stay forward.

A bit tough on O’Brien.
Has he been any worse than Bruce Keath or Gardner

Bevo. Jones has fractured his radius. He will need that plated. Chris Bell just gave me a look at the X-Ray. So he will be out for a while.

I said thats not what he needed and no one is saying he is a top liner. I don't think he's been that bad though.
