I saw the last quarter and a bit of the 3rd. It was very enjoyable, even with the injuries.
We really wanted to win out there. However, the game was played in a very stop-start manner.
Graham: was Graham. He had 38 possessions and played well. Too good for this level. How accountable he was is another question.
Lang: Played midfield and got 28 possessions. He had his patches, but the good ones were very good. He got a lot of our clearances, but is an all or nothing type of midfielder. If he doesn't get it, he doesn't stop his opponent (who is usually far away).
Phillips: Missed an easy goal early in the last quarter, but rucked pretty well. He didn't direct his taps that well, but when he did, we scored. He also took a couple of really clutch marks in the last few minutes, ones that helped win the game. he really stood up when the game was on the line.
Our midfield. Of the last 16 ruck contests, we won 12 of them, but had only 4 clearances in that time. Lobbe, in particular, got big thumps in the ruck that went directly to Collingwood players. Lobbe is struggling and has lost the athleticism that made him such a good ruckman.
Harry McKay is a good chance of being in the 1's next week. He also took some clutch marks and was manhandled ridiculously with few frees.
