It was my post sledging Errol. Or at least that is what my second bottle of wine is convincing me. Hoo haa.

Well you will have to do it weekly from here lol

I have no idea how to interpret that bi-polar performance. Woeful in the first half, but when the switch flicked that was wild - especially in the third. Outrageous quality there when we get it right - but we can't play a quarter and a half of footy against good teams.

And well Carlton - who gives a @@@@ about them. Long may they rot in pugatory.

Big call out to Serong - he was terrific. Massive Teddy Richards/Craig Bolton vibes. Reckon he will rapidly be part of our back 6 - was showing real leadership already. Very happy.

Rosas had his moments too - great to have another little forward that will bring pressure.

Gulden reminded us just how majestic and magnificent he is when he gets going. What a footballer when he has time and space.

Next week will be interesting - if we play like the first half at any stage, Brisbane will chew us up and spit it out. But play like the second half and there is no ceiling.

Going to be some hard decisions to be made selection wise when we get our couple of players back. While I think Rampe may continue to continue on, I do have real concerns about Lloyd. If he is going to play further forward, he has to kick goals. Suspect he may well be squeezed out sooner rather than later.

I always enjoy a Rowbottom goal.

Yes I think Serong is a great pick up and Rosas looks pretty good too. And agree with your questions...I guess it's wait and see...

For me, Serong is starting to give off Craig Bolton/Ted Richards vibes.
