An impressive thing about tonight...

[skeptic]

Jack Steele - 16 possessions, 8 kicks and handballs apiece, 6 tackles

Obviously the target of the Doggies and they succeeded in quelling his influence. Pbly one of his worst games this year which just goes to show how good his season has been.

And even when our most consistent and best player has a down night...
We really stood up

Lots of contributions around the ground... almost everyone came to play

And ..... we won. Even though they came back at us we still hung on. Important for the group to develop belief in tight situations.

Except it wasn't working whatever they were doing. Sure we won, but how lucky we were the dogs missed a few in the last. Same thing happened against Freo and North where we tried to chew up time. Long down the line hardly ever comes off when teams are pressing like they were.

Yes, we were lucky but ffs - how's the karma of the shite frees/50s they got that they missed from. Fvcking Mitch Wallis grabbing/dragging arms over his shoulder; Hunter flopping against Long; Daniel dropping his knees.

The only thing we really did wrong in the last q and Ratten said in his presser ... was that when we went up the line - we kept kicking it 15m+ inside the boundary line which means that if we didn't mark it then it was (a) harder to get it out of play for a throw-in and (b) it meant that the Dogs were closer to the corridor to attack from. Coffield's kick after Bruce's free was perfect - Marshall took that mark a couple of metres in from the boundary - that's how you chew time and keep possession or make it a 50/50

I thought Coff was going to get pinged for holding he ball. I nearly had a heart attack.

That's how bad no 22 was.

Also the dogs seem to have a tactic of pulling the defenders arm down after a spoil and fishing for the arm chop free. It worked every time, not sure if someone is on to that now because it was definitely a tactic they repeatadly used.

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Lonie is the only player we have who stages which is probably why the Bulldogs are chasing him.

Enjoyed Coffield's game saving efforts.
Hopefully we'll see more very soon.
