Late to the party again but a great win last night. Just a pity they got a few cheap goals at the end....we should've really put the foot on the throat and thrashed them by 10 goals...but a win is a win.
Really encouraging to see the form of blokes like Dow, O'Brien and Honey. LOB's kicking was a feature and although he didn't get tonnes of the ball, he was very efficient with his kicking and set up a few goals, as did Dow....as did Honey. It was great to see Honey get a couple himself after dishing a few off. Really impressed with his game and he looks like a smart footballer who is a really good kick.
I liked the fact Williamson got forward and kicked a couple of goals but somebody needs to tell him he's not Dustyn Martin. He tried the fend off 3 times and got caught holding the ball each time. Probably doesn't help that he's so one sided but keep it simple and dish it off if you can't get onto your left.
Charlie had a relatively quiet game but who cares...he got through which is the main thing and the fact he was out there seemed to give Harry a bit of a spark too...but again, he missed a couple of easier ones and could've had 7 on the night.
As for Walsh, what more needs to be said....now he's hitting the scoreboard as well.
Last but not least, Silvagni.....he looked buggered in the third quarter but willed himself to every contest and actually got the centre clearance on a number of occasions after contesting the hitout. He probably won't get votes last night but that was an inspiring performance to battle on the way he did.
Next week...I'd be giving Kemp a run to replace Newnes. And if McGovern is fit, then sneak him in there too.
Murphy got a cheap goal on the siren but is limping to 300...he got caught with the ball nearly every contest after he came on.
