That was pretty bizarre when you think about it.
We went into the game thinking we'd have real problems in defence and if we won it would be because of a better attack and midfield.
What happened was the opposite. Our forwards and midfield were the problem and the defence stood up pretty well.
Lynch and Riewoldt got 5 between them which was an OK effort but not the dominance we thought might occur.
A lot of that was due to the assistance our tall defenders received from the smaller back...and yes conditions were also a help.
I think we probably saw glimpses of what our selectors see in Boyd.
The lad brings effort and when he has time to execute his foot is a bit of a weapon.
