Some good signs
Some of the lesser lights shone today
Players that are bagged stepped up and played good footy
Raph Clarke played his best game ever IMO, with 5 inside 50's and 3 outside 50's- played a great wingman role and maybe that is where he should finally play - he had 19 poss
Charlie Gardiner presented well... He will be around next year, mark my words
James Gwilt is a forward, we all know that, but he finally played there for most of the game, has huge hips that can stand his ground.
Goddard had a fantastic game- he had 10 contested possessions, the most of anyone
Clinton Jones is getting better, his disposal is a lot better and finds the ball, wont stop running
Jason Blake- he is a rock!
Am glad Jason Gram found a lot of the ball, but he probably handballed it to a player that was manned up about 4 times which caused turnovers. I know what he is trying to do, but he did it too many time, he should kick it more or pass it to the first option, not the long option
Overall, happy with the coaching after quarter time!

Agree. Loving Gwilt up forward... competes well and 2nd efforts were great. Charlie takes a fair bit of pressure off Roo.
Can't believe we actually saw Gram lay a tackle FFS
Even Raph seems to have time when he has it. Many times I thought he was gone... but he got it out.

The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.

A well coached win...finally putting the players in their right positions.
Gwilt is dangerous and much more comfortable playing wing to HFF...really starting to hit players and hurt them with his body bulk.
Gilbert played very well today as did Birss i thought, a good in...can mark and kick for goal.
Milne looking more dangerous then ever...seems to have finally understood work rate required to succeed against good teams.
Could've been a much bigger margin

He is one of our most important, can you see that i put Gram in there as well? Gram is one of our better players, just games i was happy with!
Jones, Raph. Blake, Gwilt Charlie all have a hard time trying to get fans and they shown through
Blake had 19 disposals at 100%- not bad for someone that cant kick
