Last week we kicked 0.5 in q4.
This week we kicked 2.5. Is that fatigue? On both occasions we had very getable shots. Naturally Walsh's goal tonight was a freak snap.
Pleasingly we had 8 goalkickers ?
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

It's going to be influenced to a large extent by short term week to week results.
Again, I'm not sure that's a bad thing. The review may have ramifications for coaching positions and list management and it's best to sort those matters out before the best coaches are employed and list management decisions have to be made.

Cripps was struggling with an injury, even though we officially didn't have any. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used his left foot like he did in the 3rd. And he still did some really good things.
For most of the night Walsh was being shadowed quite well. But in the last quarter he was nothing short of brilliant. That goal was incredible.
Kennedy was good in the middle, especially in the middle two quarters, because he just got the ball forward without trying to be fancy. We got goals from his clearances. When he wasn't in the middle, he barely touched in those quarters. He was good early and very solid in the last.
In the last quarter and in the first we really squashed Fyffe. But in the middle two we had problems with our centre setup.
Levi Casboult more than needed the run. For 3 quarters he was dreadful, dropping marks and making mistakes. His last quarter was another beat entirely. Him lifting denied Freo the easy clearances. We have little choice but to play him: we don't have another tall to bring in. But he did a lot of redeeming in that last quarter.
Jack Silvagni had a dominant game. he has rarely had more of the ball. We finally looked for him on the lead and his first two kicks at goal were superb. That was how he did back in his first season. That is what he needs to do every week.
Live Long and Prosper!

Real positives for me in the last 2 wins were we were challenged in the last quarter of both games and showed real grunt and desire to dig in when it really mattered.
However even bigger then that is the wins are coming with big contributions from the lesser lights.
Jack Kennedy Dow Stocker had big moments Om this win.
As good as all of the above are Stocker is becoming a favourite of mine. This kid knows the moments in games he backs himself will do all the little things and has the balls to drop into a hole and get crunched. And he has every teammates back which is a rare commodity on our list.
I didn’t rate sos work as highly as some but admit he deserves all the credit for that one.
Only negative is the severity of Cripps ankle. Would not be at all surprised if it’s a serious injury but our captain just willed himself on and pushed thru the obvious pain.
Was very proud of Crippa today and hope the media also recognise what he did to lead his side no matter what. With Doc being out I reckon Crippa knew he had to stand up no matter what tonight and he was all heart and that performance won’t go unnoticed to this young team.
Weitering all game and Walsh when it mattered were both generals tonight.
I’m going to sleep happy!

Casboult made a cameo appearance in the last qtr thankfully. SPS floated in and out, didn't impress me this week.
Dow and Kennedy were excellent, Willo stuck to his defensive task.

I posted at 3 quarter time that Sean Darcy had 175 supercoach points which is really high for a full game.
He only got an extra 17 points in the final term, Casboult stopped the rampage.
