If we are fit.
We can play 4 quarters.

If we play 4 quarters.
We will win more often than not.

We lost ZW.
SOJ hurt his hand.
Haynes hurt his shoulder
Cez may have hurt his groin.

Gutsy 4 quarter win.

We won!

Still lapses at the start of qtrs when we have a lead. Makes life harder than need be but the season is now kick started.

If it wasn't for @#$! GWS I'd have 9 winners plus picking the margin last Thursday.

Cats were pretty efficient and made the most of their opportunities - kept them in the game for sure. It's definitely something we can learn from and definitely an area of improvement for us. Other than that, it was a pretty dominant performance. All the key stats are in our favour, and we even got the rub of the green from the umps. A good day all round.

It takes a big man to admit he is wrong and anyone who knows me will tell you I am a small petty individual but I have to admit that Haynes and McGovern were excellent. Go Blues.
Other than just before half time when we stopped going forward, we were very good all day.  Geelong's big dogs, Dangerfield and Cameron, were good and they were slick going forward all day, but we were simply too good. It is amazing what happens when you kick the ball to your team mates, have a go and don't give up.

Same here. I had McGoverns papers stamped, I'm sure I'll be back there before season end. But he was great. SOS back is the best positional move we've made in a decade.
What happened to my old profile?????

mcgovern is that sort of player. He can okay a blinder and make us all think he is a AA defender then plays 2 average games followed by 2 shockers where we all want to put him in the bin.

His biggest problem has never been ability it’s constantly playing at a high level and reduce the number of brain fart shocker games.

Today he was the amazing version of mcGovern who knows what we get next week.
Jack on the other hand looks to have finally found his position. His field kicking is A grade which means we have a decent user when transitioning.

Great even team effort.

Yep. Great day. Still in the hunt, and a few critics given something to think about.

Should have won by more but for some inside our 50 inefficiency - 8 more shots on goal.

Beating a very good side in very good form is especially pleasing. Also good to see Nick Haynes do so well, his intercept game was telling.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Agree except for the rub of the green with the umpires.

There is no way they were lenient our way.  Danger is and always will be a protected species and elbowed saad in the head.  Ran straight through him.  Play on the call, cats goal.

Given Doc was BoG on the VFL, young Carroll might struggle to hold his spot, he had 5 minutes of shocker that basically destroyed our momentum.

Luckily the senior players stood up when it mattered, the young blokes looked a bit wobbly, but Cripps, Hewett, McGovern, Weiters and Haynes held station. Haynes best game for us by some margin.

EH was enormous 2nd week back, boy we've missed him and Big H, EH is so calm in the heat and BigH was back to contested marking best.  Hewett, EH, OH, Cerra all above 80% DE which is exceptional for blokes running through the midfield.

I thought the umps were pretty good.
A prime example was the weitering/dangerfield one on one close to goal. Plenty of free kicks could've been played, but the umps let it go. Didn't even fall for the dangerflog flop at the end of it.
