Positives
Nothing easy about Harley gets in contested and thrives in the contest. No cheapies off half back, or junk time cheapies everything is off the sweat on his brow
Everyone else put in a really good shift, waterman and yeo exceptional
Negatives
Maybe we could look to give Harley more ball, very small negative but he is clearly one of our better ball users and goes a bit under utilised, pretty much nitpicking with that point

Aside from the obvious Yeo, Snake, Reid......
POSITIVES
Ginbey linking up in possession chains. Exactly what we need to see!!
Having a healthy list so we're not gifting games to players not up to it. What a difference it makes.
All the guys out of the spotlight doing their bit: Rotham has been solid last 2 weeks, Hough man, Maric with some very good signs, backline in general were pretty good, some nice moves from Chess (like to see more of the footy, but it is a slow burn with some players), BBBW, & Petch although not a big night of stats is proving he belongs at the top level this year (& late last year).
The confidence we are playing with & contest we are giving, its a million miles away from last year. Of course a much fitter list is a huge boost (Guv, Yeo making a huge difference) but Simmo has turned the style & effort around - didn't think he had it in him (but he's not safe yet)

Yup, basically unlike Daicos, Sheezel and Ashcroft.

He absolutely dumps on all those - like as of right now no one is picking those players over Reid to build a side around. Looks like prime Dusty already ffs
Would love to see him put Daicos on his arse like he did Fyfe

Reid has to get in the face of the oppos best players every week. Jordan vibes
If the plan is for Big Boy Bailey to play forward when Flynn is fit, he really needs to learn how to kick simple set shots.
I feel his best position is ruck, especially if he can keep clunking marks around the ground. Great effort against the most expensive ruck combo in the game.

I missed the game due to a prior engagement - shattered.
I had a discussions with a mate of mine at the interval of function. He works at the scanning provider (MRI and radiography) to the purples. I mentioned at three quarter the Eagles were up.
Here is the classic.
His response was GOLD
“We will be busy early this week”.
I asked why!
He replied “there is a very high correlation to the number of players wanting scans when the Dockers lose”

He was a fwd coming in and is still a fwd imo. It’s a credit to him him how decently he’s played in the ruck last year and some of this due to again our list shape with Flynn out making it a necessity. He’ll be a better forward when he actually gets a proper sustained shot at being one, and will be really handy around the contest inside our 50 when based there more permanently too

Well here it is! I must admit that when I put my hand up for this I didn't think I'd be facing the unholy trinity of AFL/Adelaide's F**k Y*o to the Dockers, the Eagles getting a game against Richmond Reserves and school starting back, yet here we are. I was lucky enough to start following the...

So much egg on face after some of these predictions
Oh my, I didn’t think to look at the preview thread. Thank you!
I did see a few suggestions last weekend that anything less than a 10 goal win would be a failure. I mean, I guess when you win by triple figures last time… But a bit of difference in quality with the team we put on the park tonight, combined with them only being able to muster 9-10 goals a game meant such predictions were a tad over the top

Watching the replay now. Can legitimately hear Pav die inside a little bit at a time as the seconds pass.

First game I've been to this year....Reid is even better in person. F**K how good is it to be winning games again.
Ginbey was great, Yeo is probably in the top 5 mids in the game at the moment.
Only real negative for me is Sheed. Came on and lost his man several times in his first few minutes on the ground, no defensive effort whatsoever.
Spent half his time standing completely on his own at stoppages pointing at team mates to man up.
