A suggestion for getting through those dark days when you wonder where the next win is coming from.

Get hold of a tape of the second half of todays Bullants game & watch Big Josh put on an aerial clinic on his way to helping himself to a lazy 5 for the half. Then picture him in a navy Blue jumper with a couple of pre-seasons under his belt.

Thank you Collingwood & thank you Hawthorn.

yep. It warmed the cockles of me heart. He is a ripper!

Liked Setanta's game in defence also. Thought he played very well.

Did not enjoy the first half but boy that second half shows they know how to win games.
That seemed to me the only reason we lsy against WC the boys had forgotten how to lock i8n a game

Noticed no silly chipping against WC and today. Hope we have grown up at last

Great hands, presents up to the wing and imposes himself on the contest. 8)

this guy has the potential to stop teams from flooding against us because if they put 2 or 3 people back and he beats them all and takes pack marks then we're going to have open players for him to pass to. wouldn't it be awesome if the game was played like its meant to be coz of us??

Look further than that and you can see some very solid performances by a number of the younger players - Russell, Blackwell, Flint all good to very good. Even Setanta looked comfy in defence, something I never thought would happen but am very happy the Club is testing for.

Jackson impressed me as much as anybody today.His running ability and ability to carry the ball was the standout feature to me.Reminded me of Brisbanes Simon Black.A really good outside running player.We are crying out for a player of that ilk in our senior side and Jackson would be my pick for promotion with the LTI situation.Tough on Flint who has not put a foot wrong,but Jackson strengths are what is required in the ones right now.
Jackson for promotion to the senior list imho.

Kennedy played a ripping second half. Why do we need to thank Collingwood and Hawthorn?

coz they overlooked him in the draft cant blame hawthorn though they snaffled up the guy who was meant to go at 2 and collingwood picked up the guy meant to go at 5.

Wouldn't worry too much about Josh's kicking. Clearly just nerves in the seniors, which will go when he gets more settled and gets used to kicking a few.

oh and pat ryder was meant to go at 3 and i am so happy we picked kennedy instead of him i just dont like the way ryder plays i dont think he's tall enough to be a ruckman (195cm) and i dont think he's good enough to be a KPP. i think he'll be someone who is similar to adam goodes but not as good.

i must admit i've been worried with the way he kicks but he's only played 3 games so i can understand he's nervous judging by today's performance and the feedback from people who watched th game he's a pretty sound kick for goal.

Yeah I liked Jackson's game today - and he's a tough nugget too.

What number was Flint?
