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.

!Hate to plagerise (spelling?) but if Lyon told me it was raining I'd step outside to check. We fluffed our lines in this game simple!!

I too found it an incredibly frustrating/boring game to the point I almost got my book out of my bag to read. To then lose it in the way that we did I went from bored to angry in the space of 5 minutes.

Saints fan next to me did... for about two thirds of the night...
