Morton is not all that quick, but you have to be impressed with his defensive efforts. We know that he can usually do the other stuff even if he did hit the post on a shot you would have backed him to kick 95% of the time. He needs a good hard preseason to get his fitness up. Shaw was fantastic. Took some incredible and brave marks and ran the ball out of trouble over and over again.

      If we can be calm and composed next week, we have a real shot to beat Hawthorn. Our full court pressure and midfield are first class.
      I think you have to be a bit kind to Sam as when he was getting a bit of it against Tarrant they put his brother on him. He would know how to play Sam like no other player. Lets face it everybody played their part tonight. When there was no chance of a mark they punched the ball on or knocked it down to a smaller player. Players moved the ball so quickly the Pies players were just stunned by our ball movement. The class of our mids was unbelievable, Joey, Kizza, Hannas, Ryano, Goodsie, man they were just sensational! I forgot the 300 game boy he was ACE! As was Birdie & Jetts. The whole bloody team really!!!

          I totally agree he played his part. He did some very valuable things. Most people don't notice the knock in to a player who kicks to a better posie for a goal or a block well put so Morton has a chance to centre. These are the team things that are so important. Look forward to next week & the Hawks or Crows (hope for Crows) but I think Hawks. Our set up is really good but we have to get over the Hawks mids if we want to win the premiership

            How sweet it truly is... outplayed the Pies for almost the whole game... kept a lid on the celebrations, the boys were bunkering down for the Granny as the Pies fans deserted their team and headed for the exits.... a fine sight to see.... and jeer them out of the ground was even sweeter..

                    Great win. Our mids dominant- Swan, Pendlebury, Thomas had minimal impact and when the Pies went forward our defensive structure stood up. Rhyce Shaw BOG for mine; McVeigh flawless in the first half, ROK, Josh, Hannebery unstoppable.

                        Kennedy BOG for mine but everyone did their job. Grundy was a bit lost early but played better in the second half. Looking forward to Sam having a blinder in the Granny.

                                also on the TV we see how some pies fans raise their kids when a kid right behind the goals no more than about 6 or 7 flipping the bird to the umps...i mean cmon....
