ive never felt so nervous before a game - felt bl00dy silly, not as if i was playing or anything. but, you could sense it, in the ground, in all the bars pre-match, all baggers supporters were on their toes and edgy. even during the match, it was too close to enjoy the whole 2nd half (except after the Blacres goal, when all the tension was released).
a mate i was going to meet up with in one of the bars, after the match, was a no-show. he msgd me to tell me he just had to go home and have some quiet time, as he was emotionally cooked

He is so clean. In a match where everyone was fumbling and the pressure was huge, he was so sure every time he went near it

We've won 11 out of the last 12 with that game plan. It's not changing.
Both defences were on top but we won because our forward structures and transition stood up better. We had 52 inside 50s to their 53 but 10 goal assists to their seven. As a result, we got better looks at goal and made the most of them.
With Harry and Jack Martin back in our forward line, we get more scoring options and Brisbane's defence will be stretched.

Melbourne had 1 more I50, 1 more mark I50, and 8 more scoring shots, and lost by 2 points. They took more marks, more marks I50, and more contested marks. Their kicking for goal is a real problem.
We had 7 more free kicks, lost the clearances, and had 10 more turnovers. Even Voss was surprised we won.

It's not their kicking for goal. It's how they got the ball inside 50, where they took their shots from, their chains of possession and the pressure that we applied. 64 tackles to 49 explains the free kick discrepancy and the perceived pressure arising from that contributes to poor disposal efficiency; we had 15 more effective disposals. We dominated the centre clearances and that has been our main avenue to goal all season.
We had more rebound 50s, more bounces and we gained 200 metres more than Melbourne. Our run and carry was effective and critical.
Then there's team selection and tactics. Hollands gave us a lift when he came on but why on earth did Melbourne have Schache as sub, and then not use him? Pitto and the King negated Gawn and Grundy in round 22 but Melbourne went with just Gawn and opted to not contest hit outs (we should have capitalised on that), and Gawn had a broken toe. Gawn's frustration with Pitto and the King became more obvious as the game progressed and his influence waned. Melbourne's focus on the man and their ill-discipined acts cost them scoring opportunities and created opportunities for us. Finally, our close game scenario planning paid off - lessons learnt from last season and perfected this season.
