How about we try something different and bag no one for a change?
Enjoy what was a @@@@ing fantastic win.

Even McVeigh was good. Well, he was ordinary before half time, but so was everybody. After half time, he showed a fair bit of class in the stoppages, and made some really good decisions. Not the sort of things that jump at you, but he was an important part of us turning the clearances around in the second half.Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

Old news....
Called these three as being the difference this year. McVeigh and Bevan have been outstanding all year. Jude is playing out of his skin at the moment. Considering the year that all 3 of them had last year, it's about time they contributed something....
And if you're looking for someone to bag.... Come on down Messers Ablett & Roberts Thompson... Plenty about both of them NOT to like at the moment...Comment

for the most part I think jude is useless....but looks good as he is useless.
I would have put my house on him missing that last goal and did say "I would take a draw from this game" as he went for goal....impressive goal from him but wont be expexting the same in any game in the near future....I dont forget those 2 misses in a gf loss not that long ago quicklyyou know what they say, dirty pants- clean bottyComment

Right on bro!!
It's just how RP and I want to buy a tile outside the SCG that say ... "We loved you when you were @@@@."
Right up until the last 90-odd seconds of Saturday's game, this board was seething with anger and hostility towards all the players.
Their criticism has been deserved; as are their kudos.
McVeigh used his footy brain very deep in defence ... good one.
Bevo's confidence in sneaking in a few goals here and there is promising.
Let's not get carried away ... I think Jude was more surprised than ANYONE that that goal got through. He still has lots of room for improvement.
As for Ablett ... sheesh.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

Jude's goal
He seems to have developed a better action when kicking. Before he noticeably dropped the ball too close to his body when kicking which is fine when you want a quick kick out of a pack (his main role!) but hopeless for distance and direction when in field play. I remember one game he actually kicked the ball and it hit the ground 5 metres in front of him as he made contact too close to his body and his foot would have been too bent to get elevation.
That goal against the West Coast was a lovely balanced kick and totally intentional,not good luck,it even spun perfectly as it silenced the crowd.A thing of true beauty!Sweetest kick of the year!Comment

Man, I'd like to. But especially in the case of Ryan O'Keefe & Jude Bolton shots on goal have been missed by both of them in matches we have lost not by very much.
It was awesome he kicked that goal on Saturday night. But that does not mean we should forget the efforts he put in against North Melbourne either.

I thought Jude's 2nd half was his best footy for 2008 and that was before that fantastic pressure kick!The Pain of Discipline is Nothing Like The Pain of DisappointmentComment

Indeed. McKenzie was the worst "premiership player" ever recruited? Bevo taking the game by the scruff of the neck and driving a stake into the heart of the dark side will mute even the most vociferous Bevophobe for at least a week. After his assassin like slotting of two critical goals in two minutes he was sent into defense where he quarterbacked superbly. The Bevo bandwagon overflows with love and goodwill

Fair dinkum if your praise was any fainter Annie it would be have to be on a life support system. Bevo is a nightmare for any defender. He has developed a dominant tackling technique which hurts. And he can hurt you on the scoreboard as well. He is very strong front and centre and can take a pack mark. He does his best work in the channell up front and down back. A real handful.Bevo bandwagon driverComment

I have today in another thread apologised to McVeigh for my attitude towards him in the past and begged forgiveness. I am also humbly aware that the coaching staff know a lot more about their charges than I do.
HOWever, today I am, with much regret, going to bag Cheese. Unless he had a job to do that I couldn't follow, I am not sure what he was about. I am thinking rabbit, I am thinking headlights, I am thinking potential and we are going to have to wait to see what he is really capable of.
End of today's bagging, from me that is.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment
