I reckon we copped some dud ones.
Can someone cut the free kick against Durham on half back in the third where the bloke hurt his shoulder then kicked a goal?
Looked like they paid high against Durham who simply ran through a tackle that didn’t stick.

It’s hard to get too excited about falling over the line against a bog average opponent who we should have buried by 7+ goals.
It really seems that we are allergic to %.
There were some obvious positives, though. Reid being a key one. Farkin hell he looked good. Ditto Caddy.
And I haven’t checked the McGrath thread, but to me that was a superb game from him.
We are lucky that Sydney had absolutely no forward targets at all, because they mauled us in that last quarter.
Meh.

They took it in the ass.
Spelling aside, this should be the new standard for football analysis.
Hehehe: “analysis”

We copped it right back for most of the second half.
After a win like that. Chat with mates on the otherside, have a laugh, blow smoke & do whatever.
Very very enjoyable, ridiculously chaotic, mindful & memorable game. 1 for the ages. Had everything & perhaps mark of the year.

Sydney had 11 goal kickers last round. They dont even have a tall forward as good as Caddy especially with Amarty out
Sad, still not AFL level after 8 seasons

^^^ this is it.
Why we went defensive last quarter is frustrating. Should have installed some pies type killer instinct into the groups play rather than bore out a negative win. walk away really excited for themselves…
Hey i am happy we won but we could have taught the kids how winners really do it.

carte blanche - Get Up Get On Your feet
When an incident like this occurs and everyone can see and comments on how there’s absolutely nothing in it, rest assured the AFL will intervene.
