He just has the composure and work rate which we needed. I love watching gallop away with ball in hand, it’s nice to start feeling confident in a players ability consistently rather than watch behind your hands.

Did we miss Jones last night?

The playing value of Eddie Betts has been questioned a bit especially earlier in the season.
He's playing some pretty good football at the moment.
He is one whose value is good, and place in the side is more than merited.

But I've also noticed that at breaks in play (after goals etc) he's very animated with the other players, talking, explaining, instructing...whatever it is, it's like having an assistant coach on the field.

Dixon charged from the forward line to the middle in one passage of play and our blokes jumped out the road and didnt want to challenge him.He is one of the few rough nuts in the game and the media sell him as that, Jones was intimidated, Dixon is a one off big unit and needed to be double teamed, not sure why we left Jones tackle him on his own all the time and I'm not blaming Jones.
You look at the photo MBB posted and Dixon is a much stronger unit than Jones who isnt small either...it should have been a free but Dixon gets away with it like Barry Hall did because the umps are too weak to call it and would call it a show of strength even thought its head high.
In the old days a Andrew Walker would have filled the gap in front of Dixon and taken the lead away, might have led to some pain but Dixon would have alter his game and so would Port.

Deags - doesn't quite work that way re: Levi miss.  We will never know what would have happened.  What if Port kicked the first of there easy misses late in the last?  We would have had more time to be attacking and get the goal back - or they might have kicked another.  Who knows

Yep. We definitely stole defeat from the jaws of victory.

That was not a pretty sight. The Ump claims he was un-sighted, according to the Fox crew. Not good, especially for a guy who had barely had a sniff at that point.
It was a quarter where we were very hardly done by.

The knock on Matt Kennedy has been that he was too slow. He was anything but on Sunday, spreading with the best of them. Whether it is a loss of weight, ankles working properly or whatever, but he showed good pace on the weekend.

I call bulldust. His entire training group should be isolated.  This reeks of appeasing the cheats - a compromise otherwise they'll threaten to take their bat and ball and go home

[2] Ruck:
We have a big weakness here. Pittonet did a great job, but he was killed early. He is going to play games for us for some time. However, he isn't the guy to dominate. We need a top ruckman and we don't have one.
