Just re-watched the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the Dreamtime game. Holy hat, not easy viewing.
Looked like the Bombers' game plan was so focussed on stopping Richmond they forgot to try and score themselves. They kicked the princely sum of two goals in the first three quarters.
When the drizzle cleared in the third term, some of our link up play through the middle was next level.
But in general, it's hard to find highlights. Prestia's brilliant goal midway through the second term, when he hassled Saad off the ball and then found range from 50 was a beacon of light in an appalling quarter of footy.
Interesting to see Jack Higgins kick the ball the wrong way early in the third term. Perhaps a symptom of his struggles? That said, he played a really good game. Will be great to see him play on Sunday.
Callum Coleman-Jones in his debut was predictably beaten by Bellchambers but showed signs. Noah Balta (the other tall in absence of both Soldo and Nankervis) did some excellent work, including a monster barrel out of defence in the second quarter.
Bachar Houli the absolute standout. Imagine how Bomber fans must feel every time they see him carve them up.
Channel Seven showed a list of the missing Bombers during the third term. It included Daniher, Smith and Fantasia and fell away very quickly. Luke Darcy solemnly declared they were missing some class. I'll raise and see you Darcy: no Rance, Riewoldt, Cotchin, Soldo, Nankervis, Short or Lambert.
