Cox played well to his credit. Gave it a really good crack. Noble again was great, Elliott was also very dangerous. Worst game I’ve seen Checkers play, just wasn’t his night. Adams played well in patches. Moore and Maynard played well. My boy Magden played well again (love to see it).
Should of been an easy 4 goals win in the end. If disposal was cleaner we had them on toast. Liked the physicality of our boys too, Greenwood, Maynard and Adams as the usual suspects.
Umpires giving me a hernia after some horrible missed decisions which had no consistency, Daicos’ and Pendles free kicks were horrific.
I’m looking forward to the Gold Coast game and possibly knocking Port Adelaide off their pedestal at the end. We’ll make finals but really doesn’t make if we finish 5th of 8th if we’re playing a non Victorian team first up.

Great post Alex. Yeah, I am quite shocked by the negativity. We were close to one of the official Premiership contendors with so many of our best players out, and them coming off a bye while we had only 5 days grace. Not making excuses, just stating the reality. We held them really tight under while playing under a disadvantage. cox is an essential fixture in our F50, despite what anyone says. When JDG returns, it will be a different ballgame in our F50.
Yeah, the gross negativity pisses me off too, NO allowance for tiredness, one side fresh as daiseys, massive long break, compared to us on a total of 4 days break, we looked tired and jaded at times , stuffed. Take any 5 guns out of any team, like Cats, no sellwood, hawk, taylor, ablett, dangermoiuse, see how they go, hey ? We fought it out despite our woes on the forward line if i was a Lions fan i sure as hell wouldnt be overly rapt in that effort, they never really put us away, we kept coming, just lacked polish up forward. Geit De Goey back, few others, freshen up now, and hit GC Beachboys with everything. IM outa here now fed up with negativity that permeats this place at times, as Barassi says, " injuries are reasons, not excuses. "
