We were by far the better team in the second half, Cripps stepped up and Murphy got more involved. (Has Spanner gone to bed?)
Frees
14 v 16 on afl site
We won CP, clearances, i50 efficiency, and tackles 66 v 68.
They beat us on the outside, especially first half. 2 dubious goals from frees also gave them advantage to long break. I thought we fought back well under the conditions. By no means good ball use, and a load of luck at the end.
Regardless, sensational kick from Newnes and we scrapped out a win. EOS ?

Nah. He's been around for a while. Maybe he's from Margaret River ?

Umpiring was nowhere near as bad or as game changing as the WC game. Will be hard to get a repeat performance like that. We were the better team on the night. They played well in the 1st but after that we dominated. should have won comfortably but 1. We kept blowing our chances and 2. The Freo backline was outstanding for the whole game.

Matthew Cottrell had a great second game. Disposals: 14 Marks: 2 Clearances: 3 Goals: 1
Covered the ground well and looked confident.

Fair call. Sometimes all you hope for is that it's even, albeit evenly spread bad decisions ?

That's a very good effort. Add to that a ripper goal celebration.
I thought Honey was ok, and young TDK played very well against a much bigger emerging ruckman.
Ed had a breakout game ?
Seriously though, he's been very good these last 2 years.
