Kreuzer had 2 kicks and one handball. Nowhere near good enough for four quarters.

That's a ridiculous post. He might not have the best skills but Casboult goes the hardest of any of our big men.

Casboult has a lousy ball drop...too much air time between when it drops and the ball hits the boot......Stewart Lowe is about the only player I know who was a rubbish kick and became reasonable after lots of practice.. Earl Spalding was always awkward and a ordinary kick until the premiership year when he still looked awkward but seemed to kick goals.

Casboults kicking also lacks touch, he over kicks the ball even when kicking short...he needs a vatican improved exorcism of the kicking demon....

Amazing how much better we looked when Yarran went down back, even though he was relatively quiet in the last term, he sparked the revival in the third quarter. His run and creativity straightened us up and it seemed his confidence came back in a flash.

Fair enough makes sense. Great leadership regardless.

If you get to watch a replay you will see he turns like a titanic, relative to how he use to turn. Often when confronted he now ducks his head in situations that he would have previously just stepped around a few.

I reckon it is a hip!

Trust me, I know for a fact its his knee.

Fair enough makes sense. Great leadership regardless.

How good was Menzel's pick up from his toes and handball to Bell for the goal? Some very hard tackling as well. So good we're going to get a final into these types.

Whilst he didn't take the grab, I liked Warnock's attack on the footy in the air in the last few minutes. Why can't he attack it like that every time?!

Murphy: 14 kicks 9 handballs 23 disposals 5 marks 5 tackles 3 goals 0 points. Pretty good for a guy on 1 leg (and who has been now for some time).

I thought he was fantastic in the last and clearly lifted the side but I don't think he was on one leg. I saw him burn alongside Garlett running at at full pace for about 50m in the second term for the handball receive and he didn't miss a stride. He's obviously carrying an injury but most players are at this stage of the year. He is just so dangerous around the goals.

I tell you what made the difference, they gave that stupid boundary hugging crap the ar5eholla. Let Murphy, Gibbs and Yarran actually play some football and went through the middle of the ground!

It was quite noticeable that none of the players were comfortable nor capable of hugging the boundary line but once they went down the corridor they looked like a team possessed.

The play was fluid, it was co-ordinated and they all ran for each other, and I'm pretty sure that was Ratten's style too.  

No doubt...both he and Gibbs were challenged by the coach and delivered. Murphy looked better down forward and his finishing was important.

Credit also to Yarran who played very well and his work was very classy at times....

Credit must go to Malthouse who really put the onus on the leaders and even Duigan I thought was a valuable player...

Big question is can this same group of players who won the game for us tonight led by Murphy deliver again next week....
