Fairly hard fought win without the usual stars doing all the heavy lifting. They kicked inaccurately (20 odd more inside 50s), could have been very different.
TDK take bow, what a game.

Someone needs to iron out Zac merrett. He is a dirty sniper wank stain of a human being.
Harsh, great footballer and leader.

thats your opinion, I like my players hard but fair, not kicking opponents on the ground even if it was not much in it or punching blokes while trying to chase them down, and going straight through players when there are alternatives.

On bumberblitz some of them reckon the scum were a ten goal better side. A small minority thought that we were simply a better, cleaner side with superior ball use, which offset the scum winning just about every statistical category.

Great to win.
Not a great performance, but it got the job done.
Their inaccuracy kept them far away enough away from, us that we were probably never really in trouble.
We had some of our better players down

I don't think we can make any definitive judgements as to how the game would go if we were to meet later in the year.
...but it's nice to go into the break with a win.

We got 5 goals up then did just enough. When they got a bit close we let rip with 10 minutes of the most pressure packed footy, got 7 goals up, then took our foot off the gas again until the end. We left a bit of percentage out there.
