Only one quarter but I have seen a streak of desperation and fearless attack at the ball that has been missing in past weeks. And, kicks and handballs are mostly been hitting their targets.

Just need to put the ball through the big sticks.

Loving White’s little 1 percenters! Makes them earn it, the little bump into Cameron when he took mark in front of goal, nice.

Tackling and contested possessions have lifted markedly since quarter time; game on.

Billings - you take a shot when you at the fifty with so much time.

How does a 199 game player where the Wong studs and gift two goals to the opposition. We could have been 3 goals up at half time and our most experienced player does that.

Much better by us but

Same old same old. Dominate play but can't kick goals.

For all that effort we are only 5 points ahead and GWS haven't moved out of 3rd gear yet. Honestly Billings and Gilbert are a liability. Send Billings back to the VFL until he can gain some confidence with his goal kicking and Gilbert should be given his 200th then no more

Really liking whites game and coff for that matter. He could be on for a rising star if he keeps going.

Billings just needs to keep taking his shots

Great to see paddy have a strong quarter

Needs a new pair of boots for sure.

Enjoying our style today. Hard and physical and making them earn it. Much like our best games last season.

White and Mav's presence has been great.

That was the best they played all year. But there's another half to go.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.
