      St Kilda was the most pleasurable.
      Port was the best.

          Port by a significant margin for me.

          Away win against a quality side who should be pushing for top 4.

          The Saints game was the most enjoyable personally. It was a classic "danger game" and nobody really picked a win with confidence and it was a complete performance in every facet of the game.

              I think the West Coast gave us a bit of an understanding that we're a pretty reasonable side and some resolve in that we had to overcome a last qtr deficit.

              The Port & Freo wins were equally good in terms of their importance.

                  Carlton and Port either for the opposition or the circumstances.

                  The Borth and Saints games were pretty fun.

                      I think the West Coast game was really important as it was a real confidence booster which probably helped in our approach to the Brisbane game also.

                      The Port game was really significant as we surrendered an early lead which would have been curtains in 2019/2020, but we showed resolve to reassert control.

                          Best: Port

                          Most Important: Freo

                          Most Satisfying: Saints

                              Agree with the comments about West Coast. It answered the questions around us against a quality side who really put the squeeze on us and also whether we could stand up late in a game. Also about Bont and his leadership.


                              Those last few minutes said a lot.

                                  I will go the West Coast game followed by the Port game. The Port win was a classic interstate win for us against a side challenging to finish top 4.

                                  The win against the Lions in Ballarat looking back now was very good. The Lions are a quality side.

                                  I enjoyed the North and Saints games. 2 great 100 point wins.

                                      West Coast said it all to me.
                                      They played well and it took all our guns to fire to beat them
                                      It was a statement of will.
