Proof that he is a very clever player, with fantastic skills. Now that he's starting to get fit, I'm hopeful that he can realise all that potential we know he has.

Bull********, he had every opportunity. 5 mins after. Poor form Paul

Good on Roos, Nick Davis has undoubted ability and can win a game off his own boot (HAHAHAHAHAHA), but he has not been able to do it consistently so far.

All Roos needed to do is go over give him a pat on the back and let him know that is what he can acheive when he puts his mind to it.

How about in the last 40 seconds when NOG punches the ball in another 30 metres forward, then hall toe pokes it to the top of the goalsquare.

That was really uncanny that play, asif we were always meant to win.

Thank you Lord.

Looking back on his 4th Qtr goals, 3 of those were well above average efforts topped off by the last juggling snap. God what I would have given to be there tonight. What an unbelievable finish

And that includes Paul Roos the ********** who could not find anything nice to say about Nick after the game. You are a disgrace Roos

Gave him praise in the snippet of the post match media conference shown on Sports Tonight

They were brilliant goals and his two misses earlier were damn close too from tough shots.

Roos needs to get over it SR100. Never heard him say a good word about Nick. He won it singlehandedly tonight. Had Hall done it, or Kirk, Roos would have had semen all over his trousers...

wrong. of course nick won it for us. you got that bit right, but the rest is just trifle

Davis was the man to win it for us!!



Having said that though I think this game shows there are question marks over the team as to whether it has the skill or mental fortitude to win finals matches and thus a flag.

Yep. I was concerned after the first quarter. I honestly thought we had it in us to go all the way, particularly after last week, but after tonight, I dunno.

last weeek should have led us into this game with steely resolve, but it was not to be.

Beating StKilda is the only challenge. Please give us a west coast/ sydney gf. It's all we need to overcome my doubts. I hope

Good call ROK. I reckon he needs more time on the ball. It was his break on the wing that started the run in the last Q.

Gee ROK how much brown lemonade did you have tonight.

Agree on Kirk - plays well week in, week out.

yep, unfortunately, barry hall has shown in the last 2 weeks that being captain is just too daunting a task for him. He has shown nothing and has been a huge disappointment

I'm just having a look at the uploaded photos at getty images, some of the best scenes ever post match. Might even buy a few.

Ball was great at the final bounce, he told everyone to back the fudge out and create some space, and voila, Nicky D runs into some space and kicks the sealer. You fudging beauty!

[NMWBloods]

Good to see a bit of leadership at the end. Everyone was diving in and trying to kick the winning goal themselves - was just playing into Geelong's hands.
