    1) Giansiracusa is a coach in waiting especially given the way he has embraced his role as the sub.

    2) Griffen is just about carrying the side.

    3) Will Minson isn't given enough accolades.

        1. For an outside type, Macrae can find the pill.

        2. Our young defence stood up extremely well under pressure, particularly in the first half.

        3. Ryan Griffen is a superstar but we already knew that.
        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          1. Talia is better than I expected. I think our key defensive spots are in very good shape.
          2. We still have no forward line.
          3. We're above the saints on the ladder. Tidy.

            1. Griff has got to the place we always hoped he would
            2. Stringer needs a spell
            3. Gia has won us 2 games with his efforts as sub

                1. There's some character in this side.....exemplified by Steven's effort
                2. Griffen has gone to the next level.
                3. A win almost justifies having to listen to Brereton's love-in with himself.
                I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                  1. Griffen has gone up a level. Fantastic leader on the field, carried the team on his back for a half.
                  2. Minson is close to the best ruck in the league right now.
                  3. Tom Williams luck did get worse. Sad moment when his shoulder popped again.

                    1. We can't kick in to save ourselves.
                    2. Libba has taken the next step — somewhat missed tonight in the shadow of Griffen.
                    3. Angus Monfries is a spud. Oh, already knew that.

                        Macca was right when he said we are closer to a win than we think, last week was no fluke
                        Every week we expect him to tire, Minson gets better
                        Griffen is the form player of the competition
                        If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                          1. We can lock in our next captain.
                          2. The Vic Uni Partnership will benefit the club for years to come.
                          3. Our list is capable of making the top 8 in 2-3 years time.

                            Talia is great. Borrowed Clay Smith's ball drop though.

                              To be fair....both have improved this part of their game significantly in a relatively short space of time. Plenty of work still to go however.
