      Very impressive start.
      Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

        It's exciting and raw to feel hope and promise. A great start to the team and Mcartneyism. Hunting in packs, clamping them down.

          Great quarter of footy fierce, competitive, and effective.

          Cordy excellent

          Stevens very good.

          Great forward pressure

            Griffen resting up forward has been a very good move

              Goodes' composure with the ball is outstanding

                  Very happy with our efforts to half time. Cordy has been great.

                  Our defensive intent and ability to prevent Brisbane from having time and space to execute has been super.

                      Agreed ... He has been fantastic ... A real presence up forward ... Best half I've seen him play so far. Wished he'd taken that last mark with five seconds to go though

                        Our best half of sustained pressure, tackling and ball use for as long as I can remember. I think the Lions thought we would bomb it inside 50 without any sort of plan. We've been smarter than that, and where tall options are covered we've used smaller targets. Having said that Jones & Cordy have worked hard to make an impact. Cordy in particular has been impressive.
                        Brett Goodes well done. What an effort in his first half of footy. Stevens and Lower have worked well too. Griffen has been great value in tight, his pressure acts have been massive. And Guido has looked up and about.
                        Very encouraging signs.

                          But never once have I said I'm happy about it or that I enjoy it.

                          That's one of the things I like about this forum, no one makes you feel guilty for expressing your opinion.

                            Great half by the lads. Sustained pressure, smart use of the ball, good body positioning. Now, to do it for a bit longer.

                              Good on the selection team for persisting with Cordy, a few touches doesn't make a player but he is making a difference. Great pressure around the ground, Dahl and Dickson in particular.
