Congratulations to the Dolphins on their victory, it was as thorough a team performance as I've seen this year. Tremendous for the competition for a standalone team win with such dominance and must be very pleasing to Simon Goosey, so good luck to him for the perseverence he has shown. Great efforts by the ex-Zebras Gallagher, Kennedy, Irving and Lourey - congratulations, you did your new club proud.

From a Zebra perspective, absolutely insipid! Our performance today would be lucky to win an SFL game let alone a VFL one. An absolute disgrace nothing more, nothing less from, what appeared to be a dispirited and undermanned group. It's hard to imagine pushing Box Hill to a goal last week and then this. As they say in classic Coodabeen parlance, they need to take a "good hard look at themselves"!

Yes YBB, I was honestly a bit sad for the Sandy faithful....normally our games are played with a fair bit of spirit from both sides, but Sandy really did roll over. Any thoughts on why?

How did saad go?

Sandy had 2 players IMO who can hold their heads high...Tom Curren and Adam Cockie...the rest? As bad a loss that I can remember in following Sandy for 50 years...I just can't work out how we nearly beat Box Hill the week before who are top of the ladder then lose by that margin to a team below us on the ladder...sandy coach said it was the worst loss he has been involved in as a coach...the immediate future doesn't look all that good for Sandy...they are certainly testing supporters loyalty

OMG! I just looked at the fixture and Frankston could win 3 in a row!

After today's victory, you play Bendigo at the QEO (who got smashed today) THEN you play your bunnies... Coburg!

If that happens (and depending on other results) the Dolphins could be 1-2 wins outside the top 8 with five rounds to play.

Breaky me boy, Not sure whether you have realised it as yet but there is another club that is on the verge of losing 3 in a row.
Don't be surprised with Frankston who might finish the year as the top tand alone club !!!

Toecutter, I sometimes wonder whether the young Saints are just not good enough or that at the end of the day, it's not their jumper. Playing for the jumper is an old adage but when you see sides like Frankston and Port Melbourne over the years, playing for the jumper and your mates makes a real difference. It will be interesting to see what sort of performance we see next week in Ballarat as the whether we're not good enough or we lack ticker. I can put up with not being good enough but giving it a red hot go, I can't put up with insipid performances.

YBB, I am thankful that we're a standalone club for exactly that reason. Hopefully you're off the mark about the Saints' players, but it's hard to imagine them having the passion for much other than their own advancement.

From what I read, I'm glad I am out of town and did not have to witness the Zebs disaster. It is pleasing to see the Dolphins coming good. (Plenty of rain in Sydney)
