LOL bit of a relief TBH, don't know how we turned a possible ten goal victory into a one point win but just as if not a little more sweet. Fkn sucked in North!

I thought Kreuzer responded well to his critics, play a damn fine game and most importantly (well, to me anyway), he took some important & strong marks around the ground.

Watson did show some good form, the same stuff we saw in his first few games for the club. Doesn't mean he is out of the spotlight but his inclusion in the team provides us with some flexibility to move Henderson around.

And speaking of Henderson, how good was he ?? Man oh man, we have so won out of that Fevola trade, the Lions must be cursing themselves over that one.

The three guys I have spoken about there are all 'big', it further emphasises the importance of having good ones at your club.

Great effort by the boys. Glad to be wrong on this one. At least this time, time was on our side. Another couple of minutes and they would've had us.

Simmo, the 3 Amigos, Hendo all very good. Nice to see Yazz laying a tackle or two.

Gibbs, not this week mate.

Krooz, fantastic work ethic, but he gives me the willies too often.

Murph pretty good.

Judd quiet.

Lucas ok.

Great game from Kreuzer, really influenced the outcome, especially as Goldstein tired the big man started taking some contested grabs!

Really happy with some of the lesser types tonight, Curnow with 2 goals, Tuohy also turning into a goal kicking half back (very valuable type).

After a pi55 poor first 40 minutes Yarran got himself into the game with some heavy tackling and managed to end up with two vital goals. 

Hendo great first half maybe beaten in the second half.

Jamo monstered by Petrie felt sorry for him at times.

Carrazzo still a little rusty but will be back to his best next week IMO. You can see him working very hard.

Murphy very dangerous up forward. First quarter tackle and goal clearly influenced the team. That's what I'm talking about re leadership a lot more of that and he might make a good captain. Has to back it up on a weekly basis from now on.

Lucas some brilliant football, that bit of play on half forward where he schooled the Roos defender with a one handed mark, played on and hit Garlett on the chest was pure magic. That type of stuff seems to come very naturally to him. A LOT of untapped talent there IMO.

Mental thing. We control the game, then Jamo kicks the ball out of bounds and the entire team sinks, North dominates. It's just little slips like that which bring the entire team down. We need to be stronger than that and not allow little negatives to sink the entire team.

Still, I thought for one of the first times this year the system worked for the first part of that third quarter and that's something our players will take something out of.

I know he did some good things but Yarran looks like he's heart isn't in it.

Henderson, Kruezer, Simmo - all brilliant tonight.

Lucas, McLean, Curnow - very good.

Jeez, we have such a big problem positioning our backs to counteract those fast breaks.

Surge in the third quarter attributable 100% to dominating the centre clearances.  HOWEVER, I am now totally convinced that, when we get 3-4 goals up, our players look at the scoreboard and allow themselves a break - physical and mental. No doubt in my mind about that. No doubt at all.
