^^^ Go back and re-watch Ramsay's game against the Swans. His ball-handling was brilliant in that one.

Impressed! Gutsy win with so many injured players and away from home. It may cost us in the next few games but also provides an opportunity for others. Kirby is one. Well done lads. GO PIES!

DE stats are interesting.

Our man who topped the AF points table (on 131 with Smith) registered the lowest DE% - 60.7.

Shaz was our best @ 91.7

Then, Goldy and Howe - 90
Crisp & Maynard 88.5 and 88.2
Phillips - 86.4

13 other players returned 75 or better.

Great win. For mine - I thought our backline was less poised than in previous two weeks but came through. I thought Grundy had a bit of a shocker - let's hope it was his one for the year. Moore plays just like his old man - only better - he has a magnificent leap for the ruck and can basically push the pill into our rovers throats - bit better at this than Grundy today. Broomhead is the weakest link in my opinion but noting injuries, will retain his spot. Crocker was ordinary but may need a week or two to get back in the groove. Ramsay is a worry but is needed. With need for two, maybe three injury replacements needed, it will be tough to beat Melbourne next week. So who comes in, Mayne for the experience and what he has to offer if on song. The injury list doesn't offer anyone up - Varcoe and co will not be ready until after the bye by the looks. Brown? Cox? Maybe Blair has to come back in. Maybe Fasolo is ready to come back already?

When the game was on the line Pendles wins a hard ball, cleverly hooks the ball around to Treloar who finishes from a tightish angle. Thought that was super leadership from the two stars just taking it upon themselves to get the job done.

Also as a side note, we all witnessed a piece of rare history. Pendles kicking 0-3. Can't ever see that happening again.

Very good win, but closer than it should have been.

The first quarter was basically complete domination everywhere bar the scoreboard. Very poor misses by Pendles and Moore. We should have been six goals up at 1/4 time, not 10 points.

Poor start to the second quarter, two goals against within the first few minutes. We steadied well and played a very good last 20 minutes of that quarter, despite again missing some very kickable goals and letting Hill get the last goal out the back, albeit they got a lucky bounce on the wing. 16 points was nowhere near the lead we should have had at 1/2 time, it should have been closer to 50 points.

Another very poor start to the third quarter, giving up 2 goals in 2 minutes. We steadied well and Elliott played a very good quarter.

Poor start to the last quarter just for a change. By my reckoning of their 12 goals for the game, 6 of them came in about 8 minutes of footy at the start of the 2nd, 3rd and last quarters, so we kept them to 6 goals for the other 110 odd minutes. With Wells down, Greenwood on one leg, Goldsack playing with one good arm and then Elliott going down, I thought we were done for. However, the players should great resilience to dig deep and play a great last 20 minutes. Grundy was huge, as was Treloar (BOG) in this period. Hoskin-Elliott's goal showed how special a player he is. Great to see us get home without the skipper having a major influence in the last 20 minutes, which is a sign of the group maturing.

Smitty was brilliant all game. Crispy's last half had a big say in us winning. De Goey had his best game since his return and good to see him get some midfield minutes. Loving Darcy playing as the 2nd ruck, he is playing his best football as a result. Howe's intercept marking was first class. Sidey, Pendles and Adams had solid games again. Broomy's first half was his best footy for a couple of years.

Kudos to Goldy, he showed remarkable courage to play in the 2nd half.

Disappointing to cop some injuries, especially to Jamie. Hopefully, he only misses the one with the bye. Mayne must come in, if Fas needs more time. Schade for Goldy. Brown for Wells. Kirby with 6 in the 2's must come into contention, if Greenwood doesn't come up. De Goey to play more midfield minutes.

I thought Moore turned the game with his ruck work and great Marking. One of his best games. Goldy and Levi. What more can you say..just guts

Yes Rudey, this is why I had the following in brackets, (BOG), after his name in my comments re his last 20 minutes of the game. He was sensational all game.
