Well done boys!

Super Effort. No-body has made much mention of young Bevan’s contribution. This kid just gets better every week. Impressed with his cool under pressure & hard at it in contests. Seems to release the ball to the right team mate 9/10 times & runs like a rabbit when he gets in the clear. Havn’t seen replay, but think near end of Q2, we were chipping it around seemingly playing for the siren, then Bevo sticks the ball under his wing at half back and takes off – end result GOAL.

For my mind, no.

Of course we would have. We dominated play all over the ground. We could have won at the dome.

There is no point being SCG specialists (as the eade teams found out). The granny is played at the MCG, so we need big ground game plans that work. Thats why I like the experience the stadium australia games give us.

Over at Saintsational they have decided that they lost because the ground was too small to let their team function properly.

It was strange to see that yesterday the Swans were straight down corridor most of the day while the Aints were wandering around the wings. I don't think the ground would made any difference yesterday - the only thing that was too small for them was the space between each Aint and his opposing Swan.

Surely you are not likening Stad aus to the MCG ?

Clearly, they are very different grounds both in dimension and atmosphere, so really dont understand what your point is ?

I thought the length was about the same. Just the that homebush was narrower on the wings (sort of squares up). So the only major impact on game plan is the "rebound" wing isnt as open as other grounds. But the forwards/backs have as much space.

Proof of the pudding will be against Collingwood....
