    I'm going to have a heart attack watching Blakey go on those runs!

    That was a soft free to Amartey but I'll take it.

    I'm listening to the game on the AFL website.

    The kicking for goal has been interesting so far. It's not often that a team is up by about five goals with fewer scoring shots.

    Didn’t know Adams had that kick to McLean in him. Fantastic
    'Delicious' is a fun word to say

    ABC coverage is a bit off on statistics. They're claiming that no side has opened with 10 straight goals in the first half and that's wrong. Sydney's first 12 scores against GWS in round 21 last year were all goals (11 goals at half time).

    ABC coverage has since corrected that by quoting Adelaide's 14 straight goals against Hawthorn in round 6, 2021.

    Sydney's most accurate game (with 15 or more scoring shots) was 16 goals 4 against Port Adelaide in 1998.

    Now that we're back, nice to get a win in Perth without being seriously challenged on the scoreboard. Can't really say too much about the game, since I only listened on the radio, but the ABC votes were: Heeney - 3, Warner - 2, Hayward - 1. So, yet another round were Isaac could be collecting Brownlow votes.

    Was an interesting game.

    Fremantle were all over us pressure wise in the first quarter and had a lot of misses where we couldn’t miss.

    The Freo supporters were just exasperated and laughing in the end at the scoreline. At one stage it was 10-1 to 1-10!

    Francis was not good, gave away two uncontested marks to his opponent early (first one was following the 50 meter penalty that luckily didn’t cost us).

    Also missed an uncontested mark.

    He did have one great play where he crashed into three dockers to fist away a mark on the boundary.

    The Freo spectators behind us were talking up Almartey and his efforts. Funny how many of our supporters thinks he isn’t involved enough.

    I think it was Ghengis Khan who once said ‘you have to stop and smell the roses’.

    What a team, what an opportunity- game clear on top of the ladder - 150%.

    I’m so happy

    What’s wrong with Papley at the moment? Not just tonight’s game, but for quite a few weeks.

    Thought we played well below our best tonight but still managed a 48 points win. I guess they poor kicking helped a bit. The only negative thing is the continuing poor form of Papley.
