Such a joy to watch this match - the screamers and goals from Big Joe, the big overhead marks in front of the pack by Gleeson, the string of long passes as we went coast to coast, the slick handball and hard running flowing through the lines…the scoreboard ticking over, a comfortable lead and finally the four points and a boost in percentage.
I mean is there a new useless animal we can use for someone who is more useless than a pelican? Maybe a Bison? They’re big slow and dumb so yeah that’s Tom Hickey alright
How good is it to see us hunting in packs around contests and peeling off for long plays right up the ground? Screamers and decent scores. Multiple times this season and not just pinching games and falling over the line. Best we’ve looked in a long time.
Watched the game on Fox Footy and all the ‘experts’ (bar Mooney, I think) tipped the Saints and were talking them up pre-game…
and then the Bombers came out and went BANG!!
All Eddie McGuire and Jonathan Brown could come up with post-game was to mention the ‘drugs saga’ in every second sentence. Carnts.
Was also glorious to watch Eddie get all defensive when questioned about Buckley’s future. He would have run with that sort of story a hundred times, but when it’s about his club, just watch him get all narky.
Couple of things, and I’ve only watched the first half, but Hep has been pretty good. He’ll need to do a Hickey in the second to justify the calls about his game here. Other thing, some atrocious umpiring in the second quarter giving the lie to the reports of good umpiring here. In both cases I’m thinking it’s contrasting standards - expecting elite from Hep, and ■■■■ from umps. Fun game to watch though
If Channel 7 want to make some big advertising money next year they’ll pressure the AFL give us half a dozen Friday night games like this. We are too exciting to ignore.
