And last week we probably deserved to win (less kicking inaccuracy).

That's very true.

Cracking game, exhausting but great result. We stood up when it counted. I won't forget this game anytime soon

I will be trying to, we stunk for most of the night. I'll take the win though.

We have to keep Adams at all costs

He is no good in the preseason though.

I reckon we are doing 95% of things right, but because we play a very highly strung style of gamestyle, that 5% bit we're off is causing us so much pain.

We're like a high performance vehicle that to perform at it's best requires precision tuning. Just the little bit of quantum level out od calibration and we can be exposed.
In football terms that is a ball that gets out of the scrimmage on terms other than what we set up for - results in an easy goal for the opposition. Or an unexpected turnover in an attacking phase leaves us out of position for an easy opposition goal.
Our poor return in front of goal magnifies this.
But gee i reckon our finals experience last year is just dragging us over the line right now.

I don't know if I can take much more of this. Even the players looked as if they'd just gone through the death of a thousand cuts ... again. They just seemed too emotionally and physically drained to enjoy the victory.
Tom Boyd got us back in the game and kept us back in it.
We are doing it so hard at the moment because of our shocking kicking for goal and delivery inside 50.
But let's not forget - the Tigers were 5 - 0 so they are not a bad side.
I am now a little recovered from the trauma of this game. Even my wife who is pretty new to footy said: "This is so hard (to watch)."

They just showed a shot of Bevo looking really relieved post siren. Her comment: "That's how you look" Relieved - it's become an UNWANTED buzzword.
GO DOGS!!!!

Adams earns big points from his teammates tonight. If he was ever feeling a bit unloved amongst the group, tonight has changed that.
Well done.

Didn't get to see the game, all I'll say is the win came at the perfect time given those around us all fell.

Bevo was very quick to point out in the presser that Boydy is a legitimate AFL ruckman - he's not what we traded him for but his importance to the team is no less important.

I am back on board, he has been good this year. (except Freo game)

Also that he can become 'that key forward'. Three weeks rucking by himself in the first 7 weeks. He must be stuffed!

This patch is going to be so valuable for him and for us in the long run.

Also there is no better 2nd half player in the game than the Bont.

There really isn't. What a freak.

Aside from the first, we controlled the game comfortably - just took time for our dominant field play to be reflected on the scoreboard.
