[Big Al]

Great pass Joey... 38 point win and a HOME FINAL

Love the jumper swap. Just shows the respect for both kirky and blacky. Just brilliant!

Well there's the end of a pretty @@@@ing impressive home and away season.

I wonder how far we can go..

Totally agree. Awesome two players, I'll miss those two play against each other.

Had me concerned for a while there in the first half, but the 3rd quarter in particular we really put the foot down. Thought Pyke was fantastic again, and continued on from his efforts of last week and just keeps on improving. Reid was very impressive in his first game - not sure that I would play him next week in a game that will have a lot more riding on it than tonight did, but he showed some great signs...Lewis Johnstone might be a little worried particularly if the coaching staff see Reid more as a forward than a defender. I found it interesting that Goodes was played primarily up forward, yet again we see the difference in his effectiveness in that role compared to running through the midfield - he must be played in the midfield next week.

Great to see at the end of the game Kirk and Simon Black swap guernseys - both absolutely class acts.

Glad to finally see what dad's been harping on about with Sam Reid. Dad was in heaven tonight, all the kids he liked in ressies at the start of the year, with the exception of Lewis Johnston, got a run

Second half was MUCH better than the first.

Bring on next week!

What a find Reid is. Will they play him next week as the key forward? 8 marks, not bad for a first game. He has way more forward smarts than Jessie.

[Nico]

Bevan had a very good game. One poor pass to Rohan is all I could pin on him. What I liked is how he read the ball coming down the ground. Let's hope he can keep it up.

[Captain]

Moore is a dead set dud.

Will be gutted if they drop good kids like TDL and Jetta instead of him.

[Captain]

Mike Pyke is a genuine footballer. His kicking will come, but he is turning into a very good player.

Keiran Jack = star

Richards & Bevan sure have proved the knockers wrong

Grundy is one of the best defenders in the game.

Definitely not a good night for Moore, and I'm concerned that he doesn't give us enough, but one thing to recall is that he didn't have a pretty bad concussion that kept him out of last week's game. Having said that, if he's not fully fit, we have enough players to come back in that we shouldn't play him if he isn't, as he's not so critical to us to take that risk in an elimination final.

I guess I would contrast this with ROK who also looked below full fitness tonight after missing last week, but you would definitely play him with a minor niggle next week...

Must be the 4th game in a row I haven't shouted an obscenity at Bevo. He's going ok.

I've got a serious man love for Kizza... an absolute gun.

[Xie Shan]

I think you can describe that as a 'workmanlike win' (though first half was very wobbly). Tony Shaw wants to drop Jesse if Mumford comes back in. Reid has been impressive, but drop Jesse? Um, no. White just needs to play the way he did against the Hawks and Dockers, crashing packs and bringing the ball to ground for TDL! It's a tough call, though, but it least gives us a bit more flexibility if Mumford doesn't come up next week...

Geez how harshly must Roosy judge Goodes. Had a word to him at three quarter time after he struggled up forward.

Jack is an absolute star!! Channel 10 is still in the last quarter and the Fox commentators are raving about our league/union converts hehe.

Whole heartedly agree with all commentsand so pleasing that Ted and Bevo are much improved.

What a find Reid is, now I know what you ressie watchers have been going on about AND HE'S STILL 18! Could be anything from what we saw tonight. Future CHF I'd reckon.

[Peace]

If it came down to a 50/50 call.... i would drop White, he just doesnt.'t offer enough. I could be a bit harsh though because he wasn't in his normal role, will see what the selection staff think, Reid has to stay in!
