Good win.

The competition is generally ■■■■ quality anyway.

Great win and strong dedication to our crap percentage

Great first half, we were clearly spent by the 4th quarter which is often par for the course with such a young side….but Reid really showed his class. Lots to like and lots to work on going forward.

Anxiety attacks aside in last quarter good game by us

Hopefully next time in that situation don’t try to close the game up with an entire fkn quarter to go!

Kudos to Reid for an epic game

We are in the 8, LOL!

We played well until we we went defensive and threw Langford into defence.
Brad needs to trust the system as well as teach this team to annihilate an opposition. Missed a learning or 2 in that 2nd half.

Weird feeling after that.

Really pleasing to get a win against a team that can be good. And to do it playing some kids.

But I’m so flat for Lewis.

Terrible win. They should have won easily but couldn’t hit the side of a barn when shooting for goal. Plus multiple injuries.

EFC teased us with what they could do if they got their act together.

This night generally sucked. Scott and the media will be all in on us playing finals.

It looked like we might have avoided the “but we’re in the eight, so we must be good” arguments that took up so much of last year, but they’re finally back.

Anyone watching Fox. Did Jay Z just break the news that it was Roberts Rioli threatened during Reid’s interview- was super awkward

First half was probably our best half of footy since 2021.

Glad we got the win as a reward for that effort.

Mckay was much better.
Mcgrath first half was excellent.
Durham tried his heart out.
Martin and Reid have dibs for BOG.

Not sure how Redman gets games.
Hope Hayes is ok.

The fact that Hayes had no ice on post game and was walking are massive positives

Idiot!

Dal Santo and Andy Maher post match pretty disrespectful I thought. Completely dismissing what is the youngest lineup in the league having won 5 of the past 6.

Dal Santo also going straight for the suspension for Merrett.

McGrath might have had his best game for years.

It was almost completely undone late in the last Q when he, very characteristically, hacked a kick forward under very little pressure with two or three free targets ~20 meters ahead of him.
