A 13:15 start for a change.

Not sure why they often handball to a Crippa when he's flat footed

Playing OK at the moment. Could have been a couple more ahead. Let's hope we don't get cocky and start trying the cute stuff. Would be nice to actually flog a side for a change

Agree. Only complacency and bad kicking for goal will cause an upset

I really like the way we are chipping it around and piece there defence rather than bombing away. Big change

Not entirely happy with that half.
I think the intensity is down a bit from last week.
There doesn't seem the same pressure at the contest.

But we have a handy lead.
This will be the test...
In the first half of the year we would be concerned about holding that lead.
We'll see if there has been a significant change.

Some good stuff but Im wondering if they're experimenting with different plays at times as theyre making some errors but not panicking…

I would love to be 10 goals up but regardless I dont think I will ever relax anymore.

Pressure dialed up by WC. This will be interesting how we respond

Frankie has GOT to kick those.

Otherwise an odd third Q, felt they threw it all at us and we just steadied…

Loved that Big H run into goal and Byrner making the most of his opportunities today.

And seems Harry D is a cult hero already 🤴

Very courageous for his size and strong over head. The perfect soldier you need in the side but yes needs to slot those (which he normally does).

A bit of a lull in the middle of the last, but the boys are coming home strong.

West Coast have been pretty competitive in the last few weeks. This is a great effort by the boys. Well done to all concerned. Some more accuracy on goal and it could've been 10 goals +.

Like the passed 6 weeks, I felt like we did what we needed to do. When put into context with the first 8 weeks? Im ecstatic.

Agreed, didn't get to watch it today but I'm happy and yet disappointed at the same time. This week was our chance to come out of this round with a percentage equal to the Filth or Norp.

As I've said before until we start to slaughter sides like Wet Toast we aren't really going anywhere near the top end. I was hoping for 10+ but fearing a defeat today, my fears are allayed and it's a good sign, but we didn't hurt that bunch of spuds in the way we should have.

Winning comfortably is the problem, the comfortable part, it doesn't give me confidence we have the killer instinct we need to go hard against the top end when the going gets tough.

PS; If you want to know the definition of disappointing, it's only being able to get MMM reception and the first person you hear is BT! FFS, he spent 1/2 of the game discussing police surrounding the coach's bench! He should hand back his pay cheque for today, if he doesn't want to be at or call Carlton games, then please BT do not bother to show up because you are accepting a paycheck fraudulently!
