Review thread - beat the Hawks in round 1 of 2023

Can someone please GIF Wingard running in after the CJ goal to give Setterfield the business into him on the bench with the scoreboard!

I think Ridley has been given a license to roam much further up field, and be more attacking.

Durham looks good to me. Fearless.

I cannot understate how farken cactus The Hawks are but how good was seeing so many first career/club goals today. Ridley’s will go under the radar a bit today, but that was a serious monkey off the back moment for him and I imagine he’ll have a serious strut at training come tomorrow.

May not mean a lot for the season, but meant a lot for the club after all it has been through the last 12 months.

He was also more inclined to take on more adventurous kicks today, kicked long and to position.

WTF was with the flappy shorts? Some of our guys looked like they were wearing skirts.

Being at the game, the roar of the crowd when he came on and the crowd chanting “TIPPA TIPPA TIPPA” was spine-tingling.

Ohh, no, we’ll be the second team to do it.

Outstanding

Not getting too carried away due to the opposition but was nice to relax in the last quarter with the points safe - a rarity over the last 10 years.

We could have just fallen over the line but we led by 70 points in the last quarter. Predictable junk time scoreboard respectability aside from the Hawks, it was pretty ruthless.

That performance (and the hype over Tippa’s return today) will guarantee at least 10k more for the home game against the Suns next week so the club will be happy.

I prefer to call it the Eddie Betts look, where the shorts seem about 3 sizes too big. Setterfield in particular looked a bit like the old wind sock at Windy Hill.
