    The energy amongst the players following goals was a really noticeable and good to see. They weren't going to let this one get away from them.

    And Jake Lloyd played a fantastic and fairly unheralded game. He does so much running and pops up so often in the right place at the right time. Probably much more noticeable at the game than on TV but he was a joy to watch yesterday.

This week, McVeigh's authority shone through, and he made everyone look better (apart from those moments when they didn't). He called for the switches, which reduced the amount of guesswork going on coming out of deep defence, and that opened it up for Zac's run and carry through the corridor from deep in defence. That freed Mills up from the organiser role he'd taken on, and he was able to sit further back as the extra man (at least until the end of the second quarter when they went man on man). For the first time this season they managed to hold the ball in the forward 50 and effectively set up the defensive wall across half forward. And McVeigh's first kick to a leading Buddy was an absolute bullet. First man selected next week.
    Good post, mate.

    Clearly he would have had to change his name.

    I actually don't believe in a swear filter.
    Very juvenile.
    The community here should adhere to the rules and not use profanity.
    Just don't type the words, it's not like it's a conversation where things can slip out.
    You're actually thinking as you type.

    Using that system, the inevitable situation where a Dick is drafted by the Swans will be a non event...

    Unless that was an attempted smart reply?

    When typing, you have the opportunity to press a backspace button before you press Post.
    Not that hard to understand.

    A poor attempt at humor on my part but when you consider some of the garbage posted on here one wonders if much thought goes into it.

    As good as it was to finally get a win and get off the bottom of the ladder, the plight of Brisbane's list, after all these @@@@ years, saddened me. Talk of more players walking at year end again too.

    I agree Barry and had exactly the same thoughts. Plus there was barely a Brisbane supporter there, I felt really sad for them.

    If ever a club needed AFL support it is Brisbane. Although I have no idea what that support should be; the change of coach doesn't seem to be the answer.

    Absolutely agree! Banning Matt80 was a disgrace.

    Amalgamation with GCS. I believe it's going to happen sooner or later.
