Watching the replay now, and Marra could have had a much better start than the first quarter turned out.

Also, McNeil did an awesome kick to space at half forward to allow Richards and the rest of the cavalry to come to neutralise a contest after running out of options on the run out of half back. He's a smart footballer, just needs to keep working on his polish.

How dare you. McNeil defender!

When you talk as much sh1t as I do, you have to be right once out of every 2000 posts.

Lachie is a very good little player. Got speed, aggression, works hard. He's a perfect 15-23 player.

These days you have to have the best "list cloggers", ergo someone with at least one elite trait (like speed).

Plus I've never lost faith (dont NARC EW).

I like Lachie, he just needs to nail those set shots and not panic with the ball in hand.

The boundary throw in was pathetic - fell short

Fair call. It seemed to happen a lot during the match.

That's gonna happen from time to time, but the Blues set up an open passage for Curnow to just blast through and Libba saw it and also ignored it.

Around forward stoppages, relying on ruck advantage to win the contest and stop a score is about as smart as relying on safety vests to stop you getting run over by a forklift.

Gonna happen? Our best ruck beaten by a smaller non ruck in our defensive 50?
We scored from forward stoppages a number of times Saturday but it wasn?t because their ruck didn?t win or half the contest.

Just finished the replay. Bailey Dale is some goddamn footballer.

I suggest he is going better now than when he was AA.

Much harder in the contest and has learnt to deal with a tag much more effectively.

Sadly, I was caught up with carer duties on Saturday afternoon and most of the weekend and missed seeing the game. Sounds like a cracker. I will enjoy reading this game thread.

But the big question for me still remains.

How can we play so poorly one week against Port and then turn it on like this the following game?
