So many little things I liked about our game. Fast start and fighting finish though were the best ? It shows we have the fitness to match mid-ladder sides. Also suggests confidence and belief is building. All this despite one of the longest list of injuries.
Loved that a team first effort led by the natural leaders was the difference. Stocker, Dow, Kennedy, Walsh, SOS, Crippa, Weiters-Jones, Eddie were fantastic. The defensive efforts by H and many others, and our goalkicking / de was the difference in the end. We finally won the tackle count too.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.
Henry Ford.

Agree on Pittonet though, more valuable than most think, its not about winning the ruck everytime but just nullifying
the opposition rucks and breaking even when they probably have the edge in numbers and ability.
Casboult next to useless? His work in the last quarter when De Koning was spent was crucial. Pittonet would have given a contest but Darcy would have been far too strong and skillful for him. As Jack Dyer used to say, Pittonet is a good ordinary player who is, at best, a back up ruckman.

The whipping boys did OK tonight: good efforts from Samo, Dow, Willo, Kennedy and Casboult

Jones is a ripper but has the odd brain fade with his disposal.
