Yep, Lever was good, liked Cheney's game tonight also. Missed Sloan badly.


good call on all three there. Thought our defence stood up really well.

Sloane could have been the difference in this game. Conditions would have suited him too.

Proud of the effort we dished up, it was a great game of footy to watch, though we missed some pretty easy shots at goal, and it probably cost us the win in the end.

If we want to be better than a middle of the road team those are the games we need to win.

Jeez how good is Nat Fyfe just quietly. Thought even though Danger was awesome Fyfe was so much more influential.

Also slightly weirdly with Fyfe, you never ever hear a bad word about him. Usually there is a small section of supporters that dislike almost anyone, but even on the hill on Saturday night there were a few commenting how good he was. And I got a few laughs for yelling "F*ck off Fyfe, stop being so good" :D

He's such a level headed young man, I love hearing him interviewed, he always deflects the discussion about how good he is on to someone else.

I hope he wins the Brownlow although he's probably at the wrong club if that's on his to-do list.

apparently some betting agencies have already paid out that result.

Unless he gets injured or suspended, it is hard to see him not winning it.

Fyfe could well poll the most winning votes in a season the way he's travelling!

Surely has polled votes in every game so far maybe bar 1 and probably Best Ons too... potentially has 21 or 22 already and could have it stitched up before the bye!

It was great to watch live. He just is so confident in what he does, he backs himself to run FWD of the ball at times but also works back and does some of the grunt work. He is the complete package.

I thought he had too much inner competition, just going through a little analysis I'd have him on 15 already, Neale, Mayne, Barlow and Mundy all would be taking votes off of him but they go to the top 3 each game, Nele's had 2 BOG's for mine and Tory Dickson's 7 goals should give him the 3 in that game.
Ebert was probably BOG in round one as was Mayne in round 5.

I remember a couple of weeks ago watching highlights and he was pinned on the boundary and instead of just dumping the ball up the line he tried baulking his opponent then just thought 'stuff it' and ran through him with a solid stiff arm and away he went.

Just a phenominal athlete and player. A pure footballer! Love him!

I was surprised danger had 38 touches watching it live. I guess because a lot of them were in close.

Watching it live I thought Fyfe has him well beaten.
