We win by 64 points.

Not a bad effort but I still don't like the stupid problems...

Lucas kicking across the defensive 50 in the last few minutes to a pack of Lions. Poor kicking for goal. Not spotting up teammates, and blazing away inside 50. The only reason we pulverised Brisbane is because they're possibly worse than Richmond at the moment.

Only been able to follow the game on the bomberland score board and by all your comments here.

I haven't seen a mention anywhere about Camporeale.

Did he play and did he do anything?

18 touches for Campo...played his part in first game...I like the look of the team at the moment...what a win does for everyone

yes Campo was ok to good running from Half back. He and Cole did some good things, although Cole usually followed them up with really poor disposal, while Campo usually hit a teammate.

Well Swoodley we will just have to wait until Fox shows the replay. Thanks to Megan and all the others for the updates. I couldn't even find the game on the radio.

No Fox for me unfortunately

Campo was ok today. Im still a critic of him, but one thing he does well is not panic.

Cole did some good things too, but not pinning too much hope on him.

I felt Cole started pretty well, but wasn't on enough after quarter time to keep up the good work. Ran very hard and fast.

I guess it's good that Campo didn't f*** it up, but I really don't want to see him in the team again next week.

All in all I thought it was a great game. Be great if we could string a few wins together against them (and in season 2007).

We're certainly showing signs of being on the improve. We just have to get a winning spirit back and start playing the best footy we can, which I think its pretty awesome when it happens.

We won by 64 points, more than doubling the oppositions score.

Fantastic. I enjoyed belting out the song after the game.

Kicking for goal still worries me, we should've had 5-7 more from getable shots.

Now, we need to do the same thing to the Tigers next week. Brissie were shite today, and the Tigers have been very close recently. Two in a row for the second time in how many seasons?? I hope so.
