Live Long and Prosper!

And the Blues win again in Adelaide!
The cost was high: Kemp probably done for the year and H done after less than a quarter. At last he'll be back in a couple of week.

Some real positives: Our midfield was dominant without Cripps being dominant.
Our defence has been pretty firm, but had a very good day today.
Tom barely got a possession, but we got the ball out of the middle.
Charlie is slowly warming up.
Live Long and Prosper!

As Kruddler noted in the in-game thread, we won the ball on the outside today. The Weagle mids had shockers.

7 of the lowest 8 possession getters were Weagles today, and the 8th was H, who missed 90% of the game.

Can't really get a read on that game, in terms of whether the final score and domination was more us or them. Nice to get a win and 4 points, but still need a bigger sample space than 1 game IMO. At any rate, enjoy the win for now.

De Koning did end up with 14 touches after having 2 just short of half time. So that picked up.

still not happy with our team ,fwds dont lead, kicking straight to opposition, missing easy targets against good sides we get punished and to play like this against bottom side doesnt impress me , anyway need to beat north

One has to start somewhere. I'm pleased to see we finished on and kicked the last 6.

Wish we picked up McMahon instead of Evans.

We might pick up McMahon yet. Assuming the Kemp injury is as bad as it looks. We'll have to approach the AFL, but there is hope here.
Besides, we do need another forward.

We dominated. But couldn't finish in front of goal.

There was balls touched off the boot. Touched on the line. Balls hit the post. Balls sprayed across the face and out on the full.
There was joe the gooses that went over the head of the bloke in the goalsquare.
There was blokes who started 5m clear of opponents running into an easy shot on goal that took an extra step and got tackled.
There was 30m set shots directly in front of goal shots that only scored a behind.

We dominated the game, but should've won by more.

I think Liam Ryan had a hand in half of the eagles scores in one way or another and he was the only blokes that looked like he could 'do something' from the eagles.

Really good to get the win and get the monkey off the back.... temporarily.
Looks like we might have a couple missing next week which is a shame.
Still lots of room for impovement.

In a game that saw a few big knocks it was pretty 'bruise free' football
Inside 50's 73-35 our way....which reflects our dominance.
Our tackles for the game 35 to their 46...which in a weird way also reflects our dominance.
We had the ball.

TDK seems a bit out of sorts the last few weeks.
He may be needed to play forward next week with Kemp and Harry missing...which may open the way for Pittonet to get a run if he's fit.

Good to see a small forward getting amongst the goals. We sometimes forget Durdin is still only young at 22and there is plenty of time for him. Same with Motlop who seemed more active today.

Have a shilling on Hewett for the Best  and Fairest. ;) ...Mr consistency ;)
 

All around a better performance...but still below the standard we'll need to reach to compete with the better sides.

Tall forwards we are jinxed. Take him.

Think we still have a spot in the MSD regardless of whether Kemp gets added to LTI or not.

Still, should've already been on our list!
