10 goal turnaround after quarter time.

[Woods]

Grunt, grunt, grunt.

From those of us that couldn't watch the telecast, really appreciated the running match insights guys... special thanks to qldmagpie67 made us feel emotionally invested in the game...

[Raw Hammer]

We somehow won in spite of our dumbness.

As long as our BEST players are on the field, we'll be competitive. But if Bucks backs Crisp and Adams at half back, he can leave NOW.

Woweee golly gee, didn�t see that comin in the 2nd half. $�$%^%%$ beautiful. Yeah yeah practice match, but when you live surrounded by $�$%^%%$ bulldogs buggers, oh god it feels so so gooood! Thankyou Pies!

[Woods]

Not only a win, quite a bit of injury damage to the Dogs too. Noticed the Bont went down late.

But didn't we have the worst forward line ever selected??

[BazBoy]

A win �-great feeling and there were a few blemishes with ball movement but from quarter time on they just got it forward any way they could

Many good performances like big Mason,s 4 and his fumble ,retrieve,goal

And I give the best performance to Murray just over Treloar

[Raw Hammer]

Clearly Varcoe's goal on the line as well.

Didn't see the game so I'm hoping the final 3 quarters were more an indication on the overall game than the first when we were well behind.

This game looks to have mirrored somewhat our preseason game against them in 2016 when we were 6 goals down at 1/2 time before going on to win by 2pts.

Of course we all know what happened from then on.

Great to hear Murray displayed the traits we drafted him for and that Cox was able to use his height advantage and take some grabs up forward.

Of course doing that on a damp MCG in the middle of winter will be the real test for him.

At quarter time,i suggested one of the coaches should be sacked.I was clearly referring to Beveridge,as i knew his team would be blown away in the next three quarters.

[BazBoy]

Tho I gave Sam Murray the chocolates there were several seniors
Varcoe
Sidebottom
Howe
Grundy

who seem cherry 🍒 ripe for round one
