    Seeing Libba jostle and harass Rowell at the first bounce. I knew we weren’t going to let their mids run amok.

        He didn’t have a big day, but I thought Wests had some big moments. His attack on the ball that led to the advantage goal for weightmans 5th being the biggest standout.

          From what you could see on telecast I agree he was ok without heaps of disposals. Hope he can have more games like last week though to cement his spot.

            He got a few possessions when he went to the middle in the last, but overall he was terrible.

              Fleas goal in the last, was a bit hairy up until then.
              The curse is dead.

                I respect your opinion and presume you watched it at Mars. Did his direct oppo have a field day? Lack of disposals? Caused turnovers? Fumbles? Or all the above!!!

                    Tim English after conceding the front position in the first boundary ruck contest finally decided after a week enough is enough and took front position from then on in the first quarter. I thought he was really influential in the first and the game was pretty much done and dusted from then on.

                      Maybe i'm looking through rose tinted glasses because I love what he brings to the team, but I thought West was just fine today without being outstanding? He played much higher up the ground as a forward flanker rather than as a small deep in our forward line, which can be a hard role to play. He still had 12 disposals, half of which were contested, 3 tackles, 4 inside 50s, a couple of score involvements and only 1 turnover. Certainly didn't look like a liability from my position at the ground.

                        The moment was probably when Witts was ruled out. But probably Bont putting us 41 points ahead at quarter time. Its a big big lead in reality and psychologically.

                          When the other small/mid forward kicks 6 - sometimes there's not much left. There's been other times where West is more prominent and Flea quieter. They have different roles of course, and there are days as a small forward where you'll just get missed.
