Interesting to look at pressure acts. I'd imagine they're up for many of our players. SOJ was outstanding in that regard and his increased strength added another dimension.
Yes, I imagine that we regained possession mainly through stoppages, throw ins, turnovers, the fact that the Dogs lost the ball without necessary being tackled etc. I haven't seen the match.
The weekend's results are all over the shop in this respect.

I've just started watching the highlights, and the first thing I see is Harry Mac taking a mark over Caleb Daniel.
And I just saw it again. Bizarre.
LOL - even Levi kicked 3.0. Never looked like missing.
Classic.

H was another highlight. He showed a confident and ruthless attack, up and down the ground, on the aggott in the air. He demanded the ball. Great stuff.
ZF delighted us with some fair-dinkum razzamatazz. I bet we'll see some extra special stuff from him as the year unfolds.
SPS found how today just how good he can be and how he can impact a game. Breakout stuff.
We also saw that LOB is not ready and Polson may never be up to it... the fumbles from these two was unlike the rest of the side. Though Meat also fumbled a lot/dropped marks but because he was given so many opportunities he started to play with confidence.
Really pleasantly surprised to see the dramatic change in the mid/forward connect... now to ensure it remains and endures.
All games this year, we've been almost there. We didn't execute the small things consistently and that's costly in the close ones. Today we did just that. Most of our errors can be fixed or at least improved in the short term.
What we need to sustain this is a consistent line up. Like someone said, the ingredients are assembled. It's baking time and the golden rule: don't open the oven... ok I can't cook so I'll finish up right there????

Indeed Paully. We were the clearance kings despite the Doggies sizable free kick stat, which they won comfortably.
Enjoy the replay. I have a feeling you're gonna love it????

Only the highlights I'm afraid. But good enough for now.

It was good to hear Bolts acknowledging the contributions of Amos, Barker, Bruce and Teague.
He also mentioned LoGiudice, Liddle, Lloyd and SOS and emphasised that it is a collective effort.

The difference today -= we rolled the dice a bit but more importantly, we moved the ball quickly.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Interesting reading on the heatmap looking at running stats.
LOB, whom I didn't rate today, shows his talents.
He reached top speed for the game, ahead of Johansson. No mean feat. He's also up there in other measures. Perhaps it's a time thing where we need to tweak how he can incorporate his running prowess into his role.
Guess who was number 1 in distance covered...????
None other than our newest number 1. Wow Walshy, just wow.

Actually LOB, Murphy, Walshy, and Gibbons ran their butts off.
Murphy ran 3.3km at top speed, ahead of the pack. Not bad for an old fella.
The hard running by multiple players really contributed to the result I believe. Maybe we're seeing early reward from the high performance guru Jack.

Adding Setterfield, Curnow, Cunningham and Williamson back into the team over the next 2 weeks - where do you fit them all?
Polson / LOB will go out but Casboult is undroppable on that performance. Gibbons is absolutely priceless. He must have run +15km today.
Goddard / Macreadie / Stocker / Lang / Garlett / Fasolo / Polson ready to go backups. A win and a bunch returning from injury - all of a sudden things look infinitely better.
BTW - Fasolo is miles behind SOS based on this weekend. Fas's body looks completely shot to me.
