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.We may have been lucky but we were in a position to be in it until the end, that's not luck. Who's to say that if the ball was called touched that we didn't score a goal from the stoppage. Who's to say Freo wouldn't have given away a free at the stoppage and Chirpy Clarke wouldn't have robbed off just the same. Everyone can whinge about it all they like, reality is we are 4 zip and I am confident we can beat anyone, anywhere, anytime.
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.
