    Re: Eade defends role in St Kilda scrap

    I was at the game and really enjoyed 99% of it. I thought it was a great example of a static strategy and was a real test of everyone's metal toughness. You could cut the tension with a knife. I wouldn't want to see it ebvery weekend, but absolute goal-fest games become monotenous as well. This game was pressure, pressure, pressure and was hard as nails. Great stuff but wrong result.

    I'm with you on this one. I enjoyed that game from the tactical point. It was good to see the dogs so disiplined in a game plan the coach had direcrted them to play. And all in all I think it was our best defensive effort for along time, it's just a pity that the saints got us in the end. I still can't believe we actually lost that game, it made me sick to the stomach all weekend. We will learn a bit from that game I think (especially not to put your guard down against the saints) and it should hold us in good stead for the remainder of the season.
