Yeah it was. I clapped. Just willed himself to the contest, as he usually does.
He may not do it as often, the body getting a bit older and worn, but crikey, he can still lift his teammates when it counts.

Yes! There are definite similarities between Shai’s goal last night and Dusty’s in the 20 GF.
The people are sending a message to the afl by staying away in droves. I won’t be attending any time soon to watch the new hybrid game or to attempt the new digital ticketing.

Let's add a 4th craigo.
BLOOZE LOSE AGAINST HUNS
Cannot recall any handball and hope they find a team mate passes that plagued us last week. Maybe less pressure but we were certainly more composed with the ball.
The thing that has impressed me the most about last night was that our backline was made up of 3players who have only played 3 games for the Yellow & Black: Tarrant, Gibcus & Miller. I thought that each of them played really well considering the backline general (Grimes) and the backline colonel (Vlaustin) were not there. I understand it takes a bit of time to learn a team's system and those three showed much cohesion .
A waste of time. The AFL have proven time and time again that they are tone deaf to what true footy supporters want. They’ll come up with some *smile* reason crowds are down and probably crap on about “ but tv ratings are up” so the state of the game is in great shape
It was great to be back at the G, it’s been over 12 months and to get to sing the song was nice.
I thought the game was over at qtr time - we were outplayed from forward of centre - our defence had holes bigger than the Grand Canyon and looked as organised as an over 60‘s synchronised swimming team.
I reckon 80% of that qtr it felt like we were hanging on for dear life and the only good thing was there was a couple of times we were able to slice them open and kick goals.
But there is no better game than to do a team slowly and that’s what we did over the last 3 qtrs and by the end the doggies had no answers.
It was a fairly even team performance - I loved Nanks game in the ruck, that goal their ruck got from the centre clearance really fired Nank up - you could see the look in his eye, angry like a bull when English kicked it.
I was also really impressed with our young players, Hugo gave us energy early on, played really well and hard, so did Dow, great possession game and he is learning to hunt the ball, finally, after, what is it, 10 games
, Millar was OK and Gibcus did some nice things but he did look a little lost at times.
Best game I have seen Lynch play for a long while and I reckon he is a 2 goal better player when Prestie play.
BOG was a toss between Prestia, Pickett, Lynch, Bolton and Broad while Rioli and Short were influential.
I must of admit though, after our recent fade outs, I was convinced the doggies would run us down in the last and was really surprised when we pulled away.
There was even a little crowd action between what looked like the doggies supporters behind the goal at the city end - just to sweeten the result.
Its amazing how watching a game like that live really gets you fired up - bring on the season I reckon and I would really love to see a couple more debutants in the first half of the season and then a smokie (Banks is my pick) to come in late in the season and …… you know…….like Graham in ‘17……….

In these covid hesitant times, the crowd was fine. Almost 44K, the biggest crowd of the round.
Nah that was 100% around 44K, you only need to look at today's game, hawks v saints 31K to see what a crowd of 30K+ looks like to 40K+
Outrageous results this weekend.Here it is

Even when we are on the verge of going Tits Up they are still relying on the RFC to bring the crowds

Some folks are overly critical of Luke Darcy.
Watching the replay, Darcy says in advance that Jack might score the goal from the 50-metre arc, on three-quarter time.

Yeah I thought he was really good. Really changes the way we play with his hard running up and back. Seems to stick to the centre corridor making him very dangerous when he gets the ball.
Speaking of Prestia. I can’t find his thread for the life of me.
