Stants much better that q. Gleesonā€™s foot skills were beyond average that term - donā€™t think a single kick went to our players advantage. Oh yeah, to the person who was hoping we could hide Hind - not remotely happening - has been exceptional

Chris went full Fark Carlton over Draper in that quarter. Those taps, plus us kicking to 2-1 contests instead of 0-1 ones, was what allowed our disposal edge to actually become important.

Smack has not reappeared. Draper to start in ruck with Tommy forward.

Draper soft tap forward to no one. Goes back and gets a dab kick out.

Big big shout out to DJR and co for providing the coverage today. Itā€™s massive for all of us who love the Bombers and canā€™t make it for whatever reason.
