Actually Richo was asked about it in the post-game media conference.

And - in case you missed the memo - "Girl" stopped being an insult so maybe you'd like to try Gitlong or Grublong or Solong?

Not all the media was bad though. Offsiders was terrific - great wrap for the team from Waleed. and then Lisa Alexander (Australia's netball coach if you don't know her) on Alan Richardson. All praise! "It's hard to overstate how good a win that was!"

All the talk is about 'team defence'. Presumably when that's working for us it's easier to slot players in and out - even if this one's not strictly a key position player, that one's more of a running defender, and so on.

And to think we got Carlisle as steak knives!

Unlucky - the other 17. Great game! Great commitment. Great application. Courageous marks, fierce tackling, brave decisions. Classic clangers, obviously. But an absolute joy to watch.

Well, it's at home, ES, our home, also home of the $6.80 Pump water bottles. Won't be pretty, I can see Cats doing a 45+ job on us. Buy your drinks from subway outside they ground for $3 each ! Buy them at Costco, 30 bottles for $6. Anyone still using plastic water bottles cares little for the envi...

Priceless. I hope the Eddie-defenders are bothering to give this a look.

our best hope is if they assume we'll be a walkover - so they've already mentally packed their bags and gone on their break. Especially if meanwhile we've set our sights on them as the scalp we're gonna take!

He worked on his Goalkicking 90-93 with Peter Hudson... And I am certain Tony was still around... I'm sure he continued to work on his conversion, but the increase in goal tallies, that had nothing to do with Tony going... Just a change of position... From CHF to FF He was actually a far better CHF...

Stewie stepped up without Locktt?! B&F Vic CHF (EJ Whitten medal) Triple AA Whilst playing with Lockett FFS Maybe you don't remember but with Lockett gone, he really worked on his goal-kicking - and it improved out of sight. Not saying he wasn't already a great player but surely you remember wh...

Yes. Ch7 replay Agreed with comment about Billings, he got a lot of soft ball, used it well.... But often had no opponent. McKenzie, goes real hard!!! Sinclair has Poise... Eli is a gut runner... OKearney a ball magnet .... White good overhead, and a bullet kick... Leonie has pace around the footy....

The guys "under the pump" are the ones that have barely been played. Tough to prove anything playing in the VFL. But we've learned so much more about Gilbo, Demps, Fish, Geary, Monty and Roo. That will set us up for the future! Don't you get sick of going on and on about the same thing we...

I only caught the first quarter, so missed the good stuff. From what I saw we would have been smashed to pieces by a half decent team...Dempster and Fisher straight back in. I disagree (with the smashed to pieces bit). Although our ball movement wasn't 100%, our pressure when we didn't have it woul...

Surely tony74 is just quoting bigred who said we really need to win 3 of the next 4 (implying that we probably wouldn't) - and we have. Wasn't saying it was good, bad, or indifferent - just that it was job done. Which it is! Now we can get on with the next 4 - Geelong, Gold Coast, Essendon, Melbourn...

He's always had great quality that he's prepared to take responsibility. We've got a few younger guys coming through now with the same preparedness - Newnes, Jack Steven obviously! Now gradually hoping to see Dunstan, Webster, Billings move into that space.

Love how hard he works and how serious he takes it. A real team-first player.

I'm watching this without sound - gilbo looks a lot more good than bad - seemed to be playing riewoldt-like role in 1st qtr and played it well!

I hoped Eli would have his breakout game this season - well, he still might! - but I'm disappointed it hasn't happened yet.

Name is Ashley Porter. Is that a he or a she name? Probably spent the match updating Facebook status and checking fashion blogs! Ashley Porter is a HE, What do you expect from journalists anywhere . We are not flavour of the month and the crow thrashed us Perhaps he was on grindr then? Don't sit on...
