    The thing that impresses me the most about our game style at the present time is our ability to control the tempo. When the opposition have the upper hand our backmen and the team in general seem to be able to slow the game down and lead the play towards our strong positions.

    Sinclair really silenced some doubters tonight. I was also very impressed with Melican up back. The side is playing with a lot more confidence now. I can't wait for next week's game against the Dawks.

    One thing that I thought was interesting from the stats, assuming that the tracker thing on the AFL site is accurate, was the highest recorded speed of the players tonight. Unsurprisingly, Rohan was fastest at 33.1 kph and Buddy was second at 32.8, but third was Melican at 32.0. Certainly quicker than I thought he was. And his game tonight, probably made Riewoldt think just that little bit harder about retirement.

    Yes, it will be nice to drive the final nail in their coffin for season 2017.

    I think I may have called putting The Almighty Sinclair aka "Clunkers" in the team a "backwards step"

    I was referring to Sinclair_v1.0 not the marking machine out there tonight. Very happy to admit I totally stuffed up.

    Good on Sinclair. He said he wanted it if it comes down to him and Tip.

    But above all, how good was Melican? I've liked everything seen so far, but that was fantastic. He put a champ in Reiwoldt into the knackery. Chopped him up.

    I really enjoyed his game. He had a point to prove and really made it hard for the selection committee to drop him out of the team. There were a couple of occasions where team football was secondary to personal success, but that is understandable (and hopefully he learns from it). Seeing a player want to take a shot is also a good thing in our forward line too.

    The inconsistencies in the HTB rule was extraordinarily frustrating tonight. But, winners and grinners, so that's just what I'll do.

    Rohan needs to spend all week watching videos of tippenwoodie (sp?). There is a bloke who uses speed well.

    Melican is definitely quick. Good mark, clean, clearly learns. He's a gun. In my top 3 again.

    Happy for Sinclair. He has always tried, but his kicking and marking have both clearly improved. He's driven. Good.

    Yep, toweled him. Embarrassingly.

    Reckon Rohan would be near league-best for smothers and forced turnovers.

    Everyone calm down about Sinclair pls. That's his first very good game for us. The chances of him doing it again this season aren't high.
