To be honest, I don't get the negativity.
Clarkson, smarting from last week's loss and desperate for a win, got his inexperienced boys to attack us at our weakness... fierce pressure, scrappy footy... but we absorbed it and came away with a win.
Had the Dawks bought that ferocity to last week's game against the Kangabies, they'd have won.
To me, that win had character and heart - no nice. We were fierce at the contest, limited them to 9 goals, and yes, there were mutual howlers but that happens in dour games.
Buoyed by Williams, Stocker, TDK and Saad.
H has a quiet day but still slots 2 critical goals.
Doc looks much better on a wing (and Williams much, much better off half back).
A number of other important positives as well: Owies, SOJ, Eddie turning back the clock, Murph's composure in the 3rd when needed and the relentless endeavour from Ed C.
Grinding out a win in a game like that can do much for confidence and morale... now to back it up.

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
