Fortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see last weeks game and I have had no incentive to watch the replay. Having Charlie and Harry up forward gives us some structure while Honey and O'Brien gave us real running power. With the likes of SPS, Fogarty, Cunningham, Setterfield and Cottrell out of the side for form injury or balance, and the likes of Kemp, Ramsay, Carroll, Durdin, and Philps coming through, I quite like where our mid-field is going. I liked Cripps' game. He embraced being an inside mid dishing the ball out, he had a physical presence around the ball and he was the leader. I thought Walsh had one of his most impactful games yet I didn't have him in my votes. Williams seemed to play on Hill and he held him well and kicked a couple of goals. It was probably his best game. We kicked 1. 9. against Geelong and we kicked 10. 1 against St.Kilda last night. It is amazing how kicking goals change a game. Jack Silvagni might become our most important player. He is a guy who can do whatever job he is asked to do. Jones was fantastic. He stepped up when Weitering was in trouble, helped stabilise our defence and enabled Weitering to get on top of King. The best thing about last night's result, besides keeping our slim finals chances alive, is that it has totally destabilized Hawthorn. Not sure what the media is going to write and talk about this week after last night's effort.
