Second trip to the cattery and first win. Loving it. And well done to the two groups of rednwhites who kept reminding the silenced Geelong crowd who was on top. Great night swans!

So do we cheer for Richmond and GWS to keep those behind us at bay or for Hawthorn and Melbourne and strike for top 4?

I want Melbourne to beat Giants (by a point) and Hawks to beat Tigers. Hawks can slip up another weekend. If Adelaide thrash Port that would be handy too

We cheer for Sydney n let the other results take care of themselves.

First win? Haven't we beaten them a few times down there?

It'll get me shouted down but thought Tippos efforts in and around the ball were fantastic. Nothing special in the air but lots of second and third efforts. Mind you, Sinclair was very good too

[Billericay]

I want to win the next eight games.

There's only 7 to go, I like that you are thinking ahead to 2018

His ducking had nothing to do with his injury. He did it jumping for a contested ball.

He injured his ankle again in the Buddy tackle. They might regret bringing him back on.

You are wrong. That was the first incident, when he got tangled up with Zack Smith. He got strapped up after that one and came back on. I'm talking about the next incident, when he was tackled by Buddy and got his ankle snagged because he was sloping down and staging for a free kick rather than doing anything positive - as per normal.

I thought Sinclair's efforts around the ground were excellent. Lots of tackles, contested possessions and some good forward entries. Clearly the best ruckman around the ground now.

Yep, they were both good. Tippett scrambled well at ground level, took a couple of decent overhead marks. Sinclair ran hard all game - easily game high inside 50s, 13 contested possessions. Both deserve to play next week.

I have been a little critical of Newman, but he was good. Won a couple of HTBs, kicked well.

Parker , very good game.
Tried his hand at speeches, ran out of ideas after two, so up front .

First one was jumping onto his own player's foot. The second one, which ended his night, was in the Franklin tackle.

I might be biased, but it's always nice to claim a bit of opposition turf for the night. Though up here in Queensland, it's slightly passe.

Yes, thought that Tippett worked his way into the game and had a good second half.

Very satisfying win and a % booster. I'm with you guys enjoying that Selwood's second injury was because he slumped down for the free, the Selwoods got three high tackles in a row at that stage.

Great that we won big without much from Buddy.

Reid was great, I don't want to hear him being put down on here, same with McVeigh who must get a contract for next year.

Imagine how much bigger the margin could have been with Dawson in the side :-)
