Pinched it.

The commentators are banging on about the Draper non-free with 7 seconds to go.

We were owed one. Its a makeup for the free + 50 neither of which were there.

Should have been a 5 goal win... about 10 fumbles close to goal and 10 shit shots for goal... Bloody hell we were awful up forward.

That carry on after the siren by Draper was disgraceful.

He played such a shit game and then carried on like that.

Drop him for 2MP please.

He was abysmal. Worst ruck performance since Zombie Clarke pulled on our jumper.

ZWONKA!

That was a close call! Ring the bloody bell 🔔

What a game. High intensity, high pressure, hi de hi de ho

That’s the template. Bring the effort - all the time.

Fantasmic stuff from the onballing brigade. Rattle and hum Durham burrowing in like a terrier. Loving the way he’s crunching it! Ferocity with velocity. Same for Calders… attacking the contest with absolute gusto. Great stuff.

Zachety Merrett was hot to trot the first half, but was clamped after half time. But still swooped and kicked a ripping sizzler!

Nico Marto was just sublime from half back. And what a ball tearing goal from outside 50 that ended up being the match winner! BAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!

I thought we got a good run from the umpty dumpties. Nice non-decision in the end 8) It made Tex Walker have a sook :lol:

Loving Indiana Jones. Such a cool customer. Has the tools to become a great contributor up forward.

What about the Gresh! Fantastic grunt and smarts.

Hobbsy coming along nicely. Not afraid of the contest. Bored in and wins it. Keeeeep it going young punk!

Could go on more… but another late night with a shot of Chambord. Feeling fuzzy and warm… and a tad tired. Slooop

Jones is getting better each game. He looked good at times last night but fumbled far too many marks. Stick those marks and scoreboard pressure becomes a real thing!

That was Hobbs best game this season. He's been a turnover king so far this year but was much more effective with tackling and disposals all night. A goal is a bonus too! Caldwell, Durham and Hobbs should get a little competition going amongst themselves...who can get the most tackles and clearances. If they can maintain their intensity the team benefits enormously.

That little kick from defense by Tsatas in the last few minutes scared me until it bounced.

Draper made 2 bad errors. The first was in Q2 when he gave away the 50 and cost a goal. The second was the last play. We wuz lucky. But I'll take it as a payback for Rampe's climbing the post non decision. Wot goes 'round, comes around!

Yep, silly, uncalled for. Why draw attention to it? It just means he'll get done for that exact thing for the rest of his career, whether it's deserved or not.
Hind out, 2MP in.

Totally agree, I wonder how he would have left the field, had the free been paid and crows got up in the dying seconds? :-k :-" :-"

That sort of behaviour is reserved for sydney players..
