Our defence was sound all night and that was without Astbury and Vlastuin so there will be a fight for places. All looks good for our future

Bit picky but would have liked to have won by more. Again wasteful in the second half.

What are we up to in Queensland - must be 14+ straight??
Kane Cornes will be whinging about how unfair it is that we play so many in Qld!
He'll probably lead a campaign to have the ground wings brought in.

Just for interest sakes: MCG (160 x 141), Metricon (160 x 134), Gabba (156 x 138 ). [Adelaide Oval - (167 x 123), The Cattery (170 x 115)]

Cotchin’s kicking has been ordinary.
And he dropped that sitter early. Because he's rusty. To be expected. But what a difference he makes with his fierceness around the contests.

AFL must be one of the very few sports in the world that is played on different sized fields. Cricket too I guess since they use the same ovals, but ropes have minimised that to some extent

Kane Cornes has us set up for his 'VolKano' on sundey morning.
"Look they get an easy run in Victoria playing all there games on the MCG and look whats happened now, they have gone up there and turned Metricon into a mini me version of the MCG, this isn't fair.
The AFL can't favour them anymore"

I reckon we would've had the same out come if our hub was in SA too
We love open grounds.
 
Winning like that is so good, we would’ve beat COVID tonight.

Probably the opposite. Soccer, Gaelic Football, both Rugby codes, baseball all use varying size fields.

And of course

"Richmond had 10 players in the clash with 30 or less games experience " .Very pleasing considering I know we have injuries , but we won last 2 flags.

Well that was a very satisfying win.

Dusty was magic.

Riewoldt looked interested and much better from him.

Lynch was good.

Shai, wow, he is certainly a midfielder.

Balta, 2 wows, he is fabulous in the back line.

Strategy, a bit more nuanced, a bit of a change up to suit the way we are playing and the opposition, great.

Entry into forward 50 a vast improvement, seemed to find a lot more space.

All this, with so many inexperienced players and a pile of great players to come back.

Only real disappointment was Stacky, he seemed to have a lot of trouble getting involved, not sure if he gets another chance against Brisbane, but he certainly needs to lift. We know he is capable but it ain't working at the moment.

Imagine our backline with Dave and Vloss back? Wow, we won't to kick many goals . . . but maybe we should anyway.

Now, we have to beat Brissy and Port, that should send a shiver down about 17 spines.
