We smashed them in the aerial game - the different categories of marks all in our favour. Clearly the result of good kicking and blokes running themselves ragged to create separation, get to position etc. Pretty much everything else (tackles, CP's, I50's, scoring shots, clearances etc. ) all in their favour.Think we have a different ruckman who is impacting more, Harry couldnt get a game with Bolton, Martin and Betts have added class and Teague pays more attention to the opposition mids in particular.
I hope this is a portent for the future and not just papering over the cracks.
And why is it that playing three tall forwards was poo pooed under Bolton, yet now, no problemo ? Oh wait............
Bolton just let class opposition mids run free in the name of development, the focus now is on winning games, players are having to self educate on the run now rather than being in school mode.
