Great effort. Showed some heart and now set a standard. Long and White excellent. Love the hardness around the contest. There will be some sore GWS boys this week.

Little bit flat as always with a draw, but let's be honest, that was a billion times more enjoyable to sit through than the last 4 rounds.

Wish we took our chances, but the young blokes definitely showed enough to think that it's not all doom and gloom this season.

If we had played like this the last 3 weeks we would have won at 1 if not 2 of those games. But that's it for criticism, great effort, not quite the result we wanted but I will take the 2 points. Hickey is clearly our best ruck. Paddy showed good glimpses if what he can do. Ben Long impressive, the two draft picks were great. White was good, Dunstan is a class act and so on.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Big hats off to McCartin also came up big with 3 mins left. Shame Jake the snake couldn't glove that last one.. I still think 10 goals kicked in perfect conditions is not good enough and won't win you most games. Effort was there however
Brandon White did well. Gave Toby Greene a horrid afternoon.
Longy had 8 tackles. Huge.

We drew with the ladder leaders - they drew with the 16th placed team - we took the points in a judges decision

At the end of the season - it may make a difference to us playing finals - but if we had been caned in this game - there would be no chance of us playing in finals - big step up by the players today - proud of the boys

Now - use this as a stepping stone and make it count v Hawthorn next week!!!!

Our kicking for goal is abysmal. What was the Giants excuse?

At least we entertained for 100 minutes.
That's all I ask.

Finally something worth watching. Good effort. One has to wonder how the season would look had our game style the last month resembled anything like it did today.

Dont like draws. But after the month we have had...

happy they stuck with it. GWS kicked away enough for us to just stop...

But we didn't.

Check your compass, Etihad is north south, The MCG is east west.

The dickwad Dwayne Russell kept saying that the cream was rising to the top.

Funny, the only cream I saw rising was in red white and black you jerk.
