However, our defence is built on teamwork and individuals have the confidence and smarts to leave their direct opponent and make an extra number at the confidence. They know that a teammate will have rolled on to their direct opponent.Yes it was a good game by Newman, got up the field and cut off a lot.
We do get caught out occassionally but, as the best defensive team in the competition, it's not often enough to hurt.
But my memory of that game is that our Mids cleaned up, I think Cripps set a world record or something. Not much got forward of centre for GWS and if we had kicked straight we probably should have won by 10 goals. I also remember Kelly getting leather poisoning, but most of it was deep in our F50 so it didn't hurt us.
