Hind wasn’t an ‘in’ last week.

Menzie needs a body of work in the VFL. Gotta earn his spot back. Davey has produced more than him!

Oopsies!
Then, scrub Hind & Menzie from my ins/outs.
Truth be told - I'm not so fussed about team balance etc, I just want Bryan, Shiel & Reid IN. And Hayes too. :mrgreen:

It does seem very odd not to choose Shiel (or perhaps Tsatas).

I dare not even think about that.
In reflection, that 2 points could be very handy given our shit percentage.

I have no idea how we are still in this game at halftime.

Turnovers are killing us.

We are off the pace almost on every line.

Yet, there’s only 2 goals in it.

Thank goodness for Martin and Langford I guess.

WTF is wrong with Stringer’s kicking lately? Kicks the impossible, misses the cinches. Been that way for a few weeks…

I thought Hind was ok. Kelly did a good job on Greene too. Some of those lesser lights did well.

That was a staggering win. We had no effective forward line to speak of apart from Langers,,yet our ferocious tackling kept us in the game. Merret and Martin, together with a with Langford were simply superb.

Guelfi is so underrated. But he goes as hard as Durham.

Just walking out of the ground and floating.

We were all over them after quarter time.
Great win. Stringer and Jones missed 4 set shots between them.
Solid defence from both teams…but Guelfi broke it open. 😁

Great job boys. Keep up the good work.

The edge is real. They refused to let this game slip. Amazing second half. The crowd was very loud and quite Bomber fanatical. Even the cheer squad was good.

Great day to be a Bomber supporter.

Menzie!! ❤️
