How can a bloke take seven steps over the mark and try to knock it out of Roo's hand and be given no penalty?

Thanks Kosi, I started one too; we're all a bit over excited.

26 possies to Jack at half time. Unbelievable.

While it is still great to be up against the Dogs at half time, you can't help but feel we are keeping them in this with out own indecision and bad kicking/handballs. Gtreat in midfield passages only to butcher the ball forward still a recurring theme it seems :/

All in all though you'd take that considering our last game. Plus Riewoldt continues to haunt the dogs :D

I disagree. Gameplan is working well.

Weller is the real deal, bloody star along with Stevens......Acres has the motion and thought process of a sloth..hope the kid snaps out of that...but should be in the twos.


wish I was a neutral watching this game...what a ripper despite poor umpiring.

Mav's contested marks were rippers.

Remember when BJ used to stand there like a rabbit in the headlights. Blacres will take some time. But he is a massive unit and I really think he will get there.

Great first half! Terrific pressure from both sides and with that in mind good skills on display.

Members kicks the first!

Best game of Dunstan's career. Incredible hands in the clinch and good off the boot.
