Hipwood going down definitely helped us but the midfield dominance and team defence meant we would have won regardless. Great performance

It appears that if your rucks dominate and your inside mids get on board with that and do a bit of hard running both ways, then your backline has a chance to build a rolling wall that repells just about all attacks.

Daniher 201
Hipwood 201
McStay 195
Cameron, Bailey, McCarthy (aerial threat)

Vs

Howard 199
Wilkie 191
Highmore 192
Webster, Sinclair, Hill

The midfield battle will be crucial to stop quantity and quality of entries
And it was. Great call

(Note, said the same thing about the tigers so see this as a good luck statement)

Still we’ll be lucky to be within 10 goals
Will say this religiously from now on

We've played 2 poor teams in a row, I think this one might be an eye opener!
Bahahahaa. Yes it was, but a better team? Not on last nights showing.

Some people only have to open their mouths to put a big fat foot in it. :roll:

Don't know about the abacus but my IQ score wasn't too horrible.

Maybe one day your mates might enlighten you about what part injuries play in a team's win/loss ratio. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Losing there FF in the first quarter didn’t help either.

Lucky we had all those mercenaries (as you call them) playing for us last night hey!
