    Wow, great stuff from Harry, and Hewett kept the leagues leading possession winner to? well bugger all really!

        Interesting question. Who has the better list?

          He only turned because Impey got the tiniest of touches to push the ball past Parker. I can understand why he will get a week or two for it, but I don't think he should at the same time.

            How can Robinson get a game, he is simply not good enough, but due to injuries , he keeps getting picked. But its like having one player down each time. Tries hard but just doesn't have what it takes

              Horse keeps his job for another week. I?m a bit confused - is he back to being a good game day coach? And no longer Clarko?s bunny. Until next time?

                52 more possessions, 11 more clearances but 24 less inside 50's, it's a funny game........and our defense was awesome tonight!

                  I believe Hewitt was tagging Mitchell. Haven't seen the stats but Hewitt seemed to have more impact than Titch.

                      I agree. It looks bad in slow motion. Parker was going for the ball but Impey got his foot to the ball to kick it past Parker making it look worse than it actually was.

                        Yes, that was my favourite. Looked to be trapped, but then he was out of there.

                          Great win with some great efforts from our youngsters. May be wrong but jack & Smiths efforts this year should put them back into the ressies.It will never happen but if it does embarrassment sometimes is the biggest motivator.

                            Absolutely magnificent win by the mighty Bloods!
                            A win over the hated Hawks and a whole weekend to bask in the glory! ????

                              Yes, Cunningham, Jones and Lloyd were all really good tonight, with the way they were constantly providing options to bring it out of defense.
