What a great win and how good is it to win a close one 
The positives for me are that Jones picked up where he left off, Kennedy played like he belonged (and I’m expecting improvement), Jack did a great job on Fyfe in the second half, O’Brien kept Hill quiet (but should have made more of his scoring opportunities), Casboult continued his good form in a different role and, most importantly, we managed win a nail-biter!
The umpiring was confusing (what’s new?). Kreuzer was robbed of at least a dozen free kicks for blatant pushes in the back in ruck contests. Fortunately, our mids were able to intercept or neutralise most of Darcy’s hitouts.
It was interesting to hear the commentators state that Teague had said that we wouldn’t be tagging then immediately call hard tags on Fyfe and Hill. The full forward staying within 50m (or was it 30m) of goal tactic was clearly abandoned - if it ever existed :-\
Finally, it was fitting for Murphy to cap off his game with the winning goal and it was great to see the boys get around him and the obvious pleasure he displayed in his post game interview.
We’re off the bottom! Go Blues
