- The way we absorbed that huge Port surge in the 3rd qtr?
- The way we kicked away in the last and "Tore them apart"?
- Our accuracy, could easily have kicked 13-0 with the Butler stiff to hit the post?
- The even spread of effort, we had contributors all over the field?
- Breaking numerous hoodoos to beat the top team at their fortress?

Re: What was the most impressive thing?
Starting to win interstate. It's the difference between a Richo season and a top 8 finish, we need to be able to travel and beat teams as well as win at home.
Also the Marshall/Paddy combo was very impressive.

Plus the ability to have hands around the throat and squeeze my preciousses
And a 68% accuracy in front of goal for the season!

Re: What was the most impressive thing?
It has to be the mental toughness...
First time we’ve really excelled at it this year.
Carlton + Adelaide games we just hung on and we look convincing when we dominate.
Going into 3/4 time we had every reason to expect that they would run over the top of us for another honourable loss and we put them to the sword

Re: What was the most impressive thing?
Winning in Adelaide two weeks in a row.
But best of all - not caving in and actually kicking them hard in the nuts when the game was there to be won. Can’t remember the last time we ran away with it in the last quarter in a tight pressure game. Haven’t seen the Saints have that hard edge for a long time.

Great for the review ump as well. First watch on the TV I thought it was a clear behind and was laughing to myself about how ambitious it was.
Malcolm Blight would have hated that

The fact that we stuck with it and didn't drop our heads
Hopefully this will instil belief that we can beat any side anywhere

Re: What was the most impressive thing?
I smashed down 9 cans during the game.
Want to watch the most boring and devious thing on television and probably in mankind's history, then tune into a daily live press conference at 11am.

Re: What was the most impressive thing?
Here’s the most impressive thing......sticking it up Port Adelaides arse when everyone else in the AFL was expecting us to get smashed.
Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

The last two weeks in the context of the Freo let down is extraordinary
Backline was so tenacious in the third Q

Re: What was the most impressive thing?
The longer we got into the last quarter neither Marshall, Ryder and King didn't get any shorter.
That ought to put the cold Steel of fear into opposition defenders and keep the smile on Skunk's face.

Re: What was the most impressive thing?
We managed to absorb enormous pressure in the 3rd quarter then get back in the game, and ultimately get completely on top and bury them. It was a high quality match and even neutral fans were impressed with our outstanding performance.
