Wow Lobb absolutely smashed Cameron and khamis finally did smart things . Awesome backline tonight.
English Treloar Bont, everyone put in , think it was Sanders best game and Dale and Bramble were excellent.
Thought Freijah felt more comfortable in AFL.
Jamarra and Naughton were exceptional.

Sanders will be very good only a first year player but really solid tonight. Freijah has been really solid and looks right at home at the top level.

He was very good in close in the wet , handballs exceptional and tracked it better than previous games .
Freojah is coming along nicely , no fan fare but quite a reliable safe player, the more games he plays the more he takes the game on , his intercept late in the game was an example of it.

How was the poise and skill from Darcy when he found Weightman in the pocket deep into the 3rd quarter.

He just gets it.

The last couple of weeks he's done strong turns and kicks to space deep into the pocket near side.

He's obviously a gun who gets it, but I reckon there might be some coaching in play as well that has made it happen.

Come on Jee, are you saying Spangher is coaching good stuff in the forward line?

Nah Spangher is bad and it's his fault they all run into each other sometimes because he rocks up to work week on week and tells them to run into each other.

But occasionally they don't, but that's jut because the players don't listen to Spangher anymore and let their true talents come out because they ignored the instructions for them all to run into each other.


I've said that your forward line is only as good as your defence in modern footy. We're defending the ground better, giving ourselves a lot of opportunities, I'd reckon Spangher's job has become a bit easier because of it.

Clearly going to become a star and doing so much right but his hands are off at the moment. Two weeks in a row he has left a few marks out there.

Only 13 CBA for Bont and only 7 to Ed. It did feel like when the cats got a some momentum in the third that these two were out for a long time.

What a game.

A truly even team performance so loathe to call out any individuals.

We played the conditions much better early and deserved the size of the win we ended up with. The side has matured and didn’t get spooked when effort wasn’t translating to goals early like previous iterations of this side have done.

Our forward half pressure has been excellent the last few weeks.

We’ve got key defender depth, who knew.

Enjoyed that.

Swannies next. If we win that, watch us shorten in the premiership race.

As a side note, always great reading this thread end to end cold after a win.
