Look there were some horrible, horrible aspects to the game (H, Gov & Levi, along with the zero tackles stat, along with some terrible turnovers), but I am not as concerned with it as some
Aside from the first Q and a bit - where absolutely EVERYTHING went right for the Saints (all coaching moves came off, all bounces went their way, none of the front running was hurt the other way, EVERY free/50/downfield went their way), we easily won the rest of the game - just couldnt hurt them on the scoreboard. Now, maybe this was just further evidence that we can win when the heat is out of the game - not sure
We do need to sort out what to do when Cripps is taken out - but we also need to have the AFL look into why he is allowed to be mauled at every stoppage.
