I am in the midst of grey nomading and sea-changing so I haven't been able to fully concentrate on the footy. Saw the St Kilda game live and watched the Richmond on the TV, which I really hate. Collingwood, Richmond and St.Kilda basically had their best sides in and played really well and while we probably didn't deserve to win any of them, however, if Jack's kick had gone through or Walsh had been paid the over the shoulder free kick, and if the score review hadn't gone against us, and if we had kicked straight and not made those unforced errors giving goals away, we probably could have won all three and this Saturday night would be a top of the table clash. You shouldn't hang your hat on would haves, should haves and could haves, but it is clear we are not that far off it and that our best is clearly good enough. While a lot of commentary has spoken of the scoreless first and last quarters by WCE, but what I found interesting is they only scored one goal two in three quarters. Clearly our defensive structures and our back line is holding up. So I think that if our defence can hold up we can win and turn the Cats into Dim Sims.
