A fair assumption we wil be 3W —2L after round five then we play the other team from 2017 GF

Challenging

Having watched the replay (twice), those wondering why Stepewnson had another shot on goal in the final quarter after taking the advantage and hitting post (after Crocker was bumped/tunnelled), he was actually hit high as he kicked, and got a free kick.

I had us losing by 48 before revising it down to 28 because of the wet.

Still feel like I'm in a dream & will wake up to some other reality, but no, this is the reality.

Hard to believe the huge turnaround which I never saw coming.

Maybe Eddie really DID see it when he said recently, these things can turn around pretty quickly.

I admit I laughed when I read that.....

Not laughing now.

Like others on Nicks are saying, let this become the new normal.

Best game for 7 years. Totally impressed. Defensively amazing last night. Players seemed to know where to be and where not to be. And our attack and disposal was fantastic given the conditions. In years gone by we looked coachless, but last night it seemed everything clicked. And for four quarters. Was glad to have had a work trip to adelaide from
Brisbane to witness it.

In NB post match review he was asked about Cox and he said he played his role

As the game unfolded and when we weren’t running the ball thru the corridor
with pin point handball there were times we went the long kick option

Big Mason competed in the air with two defenders minimum hanging off him
result was loose ball and spare loose crumbers

The big fella filled a role alright and now that round 23 last year seeing Mason and Brody plan it makes sense

You know it does. lol

The plans were always there Dave.
This time the players executed them.

Bucks said we played to our strengths—an absolute gun lot of mids cum forwards when switched on

Carlton mostly
Crows all night

Great win against quality opposition in what was at times rubbish weather & on their home turf.
Now I say "quality" not 'cause I rate ADL by any means but being in last years GF, I feel they have earned that title.

Beat the druggies on ANZAC Day & then who knows...

[daics aka the ruckman]

Great to watch - Grundy Sidey, Treloar, Stephenson etc. The lesser lights were also impressive - Brown, Aish, Hoskin-Elliot.

I watched Jake Kelly. He can stay at Adelaide.

[uncanny]

what an amazing difference between last night and round 1
as others have pointed out, the best team. performance under bucks
really optimistic about what this group can achieve now...

[BazBoy]

After that performance I want it to be our benchmark—sure possibly of a loss
down the track but reach our benchmark enough and start lining up for finals

My nephew cleaned up!

He took a double with sportsbet - Stephenson to kick 3 goals/Phillips to get 30 possesions - 650/1 × $5.

Said "How the **** did you pick that!?!"

"Just a guess gully" he says.

Asked him to guess a few horses for me today!

That’s was amazing. Something has changed in 2018 and in the last 2 weeks under Buckley and the rest of the coaching group.
This is very clear. A Gameplan. Have not seen this for around 5 years.
This is good. If we maintain this style it could be the winning formula we have been looking for.
2 weeks sample is good. Keep it up for the rest of the year and anything is possible
