It's a strange feeling when an 8-goal win is greeted with 'meh, we did what we had to do'.....

After the masterclass against Brisbane, the next week was always going to be somewhat of an anti-climax.

I think the most pleasing aspect of the win last night was it was a very even performance.  Apart from Frankie who was clearly our best, the rest did their bit.  We were never really challenged after the 10-minute mark of the second quarter, and controlled how the game was played.

I will mention one thing that is very pleasing - big H has well and truly got his kicking mojo back.  I was directly behind the set shot from the boundary line in the 3rd quarter, and that is the best kick I have ever seen him produce.    

Such a change in this team from what we saw 12 weeks ago.  Almost unrecognisable.  As for the Saints buidling their entire game around NAS, we've been doing it with Crippa for many years, and a one-man gameplan is never going to work.

One last point, I watched the 2nds on CH 7 earlier in the day.  The team included Weitering, Boyd, Saad, Williams, Ollie Hollands, Fogarty, Moir, O'Keefe, Flynn Young - and they were all out-shone by Cody Walker.

Weiters will come back in, but the others?   My, how we have moved onwards......

Did anyone hear BT say after Nas’ injury a snide remark about how the players weren’t able to warm up on the ground before the game - inferring the AFLW game gad somehow contributed to Nas’ injury 🙄 ffs so sick of these dinosaurs getting airtime.

I didn't watch 7's telecast - thanks to Kayo  :)

The AFL players could be seen warming up in the background as Abbie McKay was being presented with her Golden Fist award.  That was about an hour before the AFL game started.  Perhaps BT was referring to the delay between the warm up and the start of the game for the Spud's Game "Light Up The Dark".  It was supposed to go for two minutes but was probably closer to three minutes and that could make all the difference with superbly fit AFL footballers  ::)

Surely the fact that Nas went into the game with hip and back injuries couldn't have played a part? 

Making sense isn't really part of BT's shtik.
