Ready. Hopefully, ... No, I'm not going there. Our season could be over tonight.

A gutsy, business like win. A very undermanned team doing what had to be done. Liked the look of the new guys with Binns putting in a solid performance and Moir an exciting cameo. Well done Blues 👍

Gees Kemp was outstanding today, played like an old fashioned CHF.

I at least tipped us 😁

Unbelievable backs to the wall type victory. Never thought we had it in us. Momentum is a wonderful thing. Let's hope we've got enough of it to continue on into September.

Imagine we backed our depth 5 or 6 weeks ago. Even if we lost (we did anyway) you get your guns back fully fit.

Yep.
Hopefully it's a mistake we only need to make once.
Could've cost us a GF birth.

Oh ye of little faith! With stubborn optimism I pinned my hopes on the spirit of the boys.

However... it was the Weagles, so tempered joy but joy nonetheless. We would have been happy with a 65 pt win being closer to full strength. The defensive pressure was outstanding... never let them get a sniff apart from their first two goals. Put speed on the aggott and hunted in packs. Ripper stuff.

Starting with Pitto, what a great effort from the mids. Crippa, Hewey, Chugga, Walshy. Well supported by the Hollands bros and Blacres (as usual). Weiters led the backline really well, Young did his bit. Gotta love Cowan.

Although he faded (obviously knackered not having had a senior footy pre season) well done Cooper Lord - quick hands and a footy brain.

Slow to get going but Binns eventually got into the game and was good.

Loved Moir's cameo.

Just as small Durds was showing something - shoulder.

And Kemp... ripper stuff, looked every bit a tall forward.

But have the coaches learnt anything…?
Honour the lead, Harry, Charlie or Mr Magoo ! Just homour the forkin lead !!
Kudos to Moo today, played with a licence to attack, and he did !
Small Durds before getting injured too… incredible what can happen when you’re not just a space filler.

I missed most of the game but so pleased with a good win!

I have always liked Kemp and really glad to see him play well today.

Kicked four on a real CHB, but his work on the ground, putting blocks in, knocking the ball on, general positioning was outstanding. Created a number of goals as well for the seagulls feeding at the fall of the ball.

In other games this year we couldn't buy a goal, but today. Some lovely snaps, but Moir's! What can you say?
We may well have ended Collingwood's season today. I didn't expect that either.

I was negative Nelly and didn't think we could win with all the changes. Obviously please with the result, Ol' Mate 3 Votes carried his team on his back yet again, he was Mighty today along with George, Weiters and Pitto.
