The first half was as bad as we've been all season; fumbles, turnovers, miskicks and not smart movement. We had a lot of players really down:
Tom de Koning barely had a touch in the first half.
Marc Pittonet was well beaten early, and couldn't affect his opponent at all.
Fog couldn't get near it.
Hollands fumbled and got pushed aside far too easily. That first half was his worst game by kilometres.
Dow got to give it away.
Kemp fumbled and miskicked and dropped marks.
Cuningham fumbled and turned the ball over.
Saad couldn't get near it.
That is a huge part of our team who were really having shockers.
After half time:
Tom de Koning was far more effective. he got the ball, he got his hand on the ball and his goal was a miracle. 200 % better.
Marc Pittonet got on top in the ruck and started taking marks around the ground and getting clearances. His game was maybe 400% better.
Fog still struggled, but he put in and made a contribution with his body. It was his worst game for quite a while, but even he lifted significantly.
Hollands grew an extra leg. His turned his worst game into a good game, he was more physical, he provided a good option and he ran his opponents into the ground.
Dow started hitting targets. His goal was brilliant, but he was really hard at it.
Kemp turned his game around and started providing drive from defence.
Cuningham started hitting targets and his goal was special.
Saad didn't get a lot of ball, but he kept his man to nothing and provided drive when we needed it. Still his quietest game for ages, but he didn't get beaten in the second half.
That sort of improvement was why we won. Cripps lifted: he dominated clearances.
Docherty was excellent all day, but for his one terrible turnover.
Fisher played his most effective gave ever!
Charlie was double and triple teamed, but still provided some killer moment. His passes made 2 goals.
Nic Newman: 35 possessions, 4 clearances, 13 marks, 3 tackles and God knows what more. How BOG could he be?
Blake Acres: probably his most complete game for us. His goals were crucial. he popped up in the right spot to make intercept marks and he made things happen.
