I went, and TBH we were lucky. But at the same time, we missed a bunch of gettable goals - Cripps, McKay (Q2), Cottrell, Acres (Q3) all missed very gettable shots that would have given us a decent lead in a tight game.
The team certainly looked like they we in a bit of holiday mode at the start, but slowly worked up to a harder edge.
We need to defend short chains down the wing better - I lost count of the number of times Freo had a free run with short passes and snappy handball while we were back-pedalling.....
But gee, it's funny how 2 minutes of football can change a futile 1600km drive into a 'great weekend'.
And FWIW, Gather Round is pretty special - Adelaide was sure buzzing.

This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?
