Married on Saturday.
Walked over to Etihad from my hotel the day after to watch the mighty Dons play live for the first time in four years (been living OS) and what a show the boys put on display. Brilliant!
Was the first time I’ve ever seen Joey play live in the flesh as I left Australia the year he got drafted and the first thing you notice is the effect on the crowd he has when the ball goes near him, there is an expectation that he will do something special now. Like Lloyd and Hird before him.
That was a top 4 performance, from a team that may/may not make the finals but the quality is there and there’s more to come!
Put the heat on the Eagles and they wilted. 2nd quarter was the best footy we’ve played for a while. The options we now have up forward is fantastic. The best part about it is we never gave them a sniff, there was no 3rd quarter lull where we let them get back to within 4-5 goals. A true 4-quarter performance, even if the last was little more than glorified circle work, but we earned the right to do that. Massive game this Saturday night, we have to learn from the Carlton game in terms of not going in half-baked against an opponent that has dropped it’s last 4 matches. Hitting GWS at 6-4 would be a great result and really have us in finals calculations.
Best game of the year so far, but I’m struggling to work out how good we are.
If we play like we did the first half, we’ll push top four, mind you I haven’t seen much of the other sides.
But I do think we have the best forward line in the comp…
