Plenty of focus, me included, on the blokes we're missing.....Cerra, Walsh, McGovern, Harry, Silvagni and Kennedy. But I reckon the blokes who've come in or returned from injury over the last 8 weeks have been instrumental in the turnaround. Martin has been fantastic and is tough and hard at the ball and man. Motlop and Owies and Fogarty are providing pressure stuff in the forward line, and Fog up around the middle at times. Cunningham wasn't as good last night but he has a bit of class about him. Pittonet coming back in, Cincotta has really stood up and Kemp seems to go from strength to strength every week. That hanger last night showed he's got the confidence now to go for that. And Dow has been great too. Yes, still makes some blunders but last night I thought he was really hard at it and put his body on the line a number of times late in the game and tackled strongly. He looks to be doing everything that's being asked of him and if it means we offer him another year or two, so be it.
And the senior blokes stood tall again...Cripps was huge and Weitering solid as a rock down back.
That's the top 3 teams and St Kilda (who were 5th) that we've beaten in the last 5 or 6 weeks. Hard to believe but we're the form team in the competition. Don't worry about other results (will be nice though), just win the last two, get some players back, and hopefully snare a home final in week 1.
