A Freudian slip, also called parapraxis, is an error in speech, memory, or physical action that is interpreted as occurring due to the interference of an unconscious subdued wish or internal train of thought.

Good post, Neil. I agree with everything you say.
But yes, my joy was tempered. I think by the feeling that it was not a win with sustainable foundations. Buddy stormed it - kicked 6, 2 assists - against non-existent opposition. That aside, Dawson kicked two and McCartin snagged one. Sinclair was smashed in the ruck and really our mids did well to spilt the clearance count. Our defenders are looking a little shaky and we are reliant on Aliir to dominate in the air. Our young quick players continue to provide limited output.
Hopefully this win helps pick the confidence up and we can move the ball a little more quickly this weekend. Buddy doesn't have a formidable opponent this week either, so it we spilt the inside 50 count again, we are in with a chance.
Basically watched the full game for the first time yesterday
Only saw the last quarter live
Hewett was brilliant.
I'm hoping that he continues to play a more expansive game like this for the rest of the year.
He went forward rather than back for the most part.
His repeated leads down the wing, gave us an out and opened up the field
Rinsed Pendles as well won a heap of clearances.
Win still papered over the cracks that we know but i can deal with that haha
That’s fascinating. I’ve always thought that hewett reminded me of Pendlebury and he certainly did do a good job on Saturday. I have been a bit disappointed that hewett hasn’t progressed as much as I expected but then I remembered he is still only 22 same age as heeney. Wasn’t he the youngest draftee of his year. Like McCartin this year ?
One thing the Pies did most of the game which I’m always staggered more teams don’t implement is having a man on the goal line in defence - gee it stops a lot of goals and scores.
The one time they failed to do it was in the final mins when Tom scrubbered truly from a Horizontal position.
Thank goodness .
