    I'm just not sure how you can say that. I know there is water under the bridge and form and all sorts but we were like - really (REALLY) good in the last 20 mins of that game and had other periods of total dominance...we also kicked the ball to McGovern a bit so there's that I guess. Then again, a couple of weeks back we kicked it to Lever and last week we kicked it to Stewart.

    For some reason I'm excited about what we can do this week, but am also fully prepared to be knocked back to reality!
    Things turned out pretty well!

    I thought as a team we were excellent across the ground, committed and extremely difficult to score and move the ball forward againts.

    Still some issues with not working hard enough to provide an option on the fat side but it's improved.

    Pretty happy, and can't wait to get Dunkley and Treloar back.

    Definitely the most committed performance of the year. Our ability to stifle their movement from half back despite numerous switching attempts from their defenders was incredible.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    It reminded me somewhat of what Melbourne did to us, albeit WCE do like to hang onto the footy and move it cautiously more than we might.

    Presuming we are lucky on the injury front….who makes way for Treloar and Dunkley? Maclean has been very good and can play a negating role well as be a threat himself. Garcia/McNeil & Hannan? We will have to replace Gardner with Young you’d think. And who will make way so Martin can play (presuming he comes good soon) and allow English to play forward?

    Nice quandary for coaches to have.

    Wallis, Garcia, Scott and Hannan most likely, and with the latter two that's only because I think Bevo really likes Toby and Ed (as do I). I thought all four were excellent in their own way today, each contributed in different ways.
