We weren't that bad against Geelong or Collingwood and could've won them both. Last night, we got reward for efforts in the first 3 quarters.
On the umpiring....surely they go in at half time and look at the count and look to square up? The difference between the two halves was ridiculous?
Weitering, Walsh and Cripps were just next level last night and Weitering just seemed to have a spring in his step last night with McGovern back? Kemp was good but needs to stop trying to take Mark of the Year when he should be defending.
Cincotta was brilliant on Pickett and not sure who was on Fritsch but he didn't do much either.
Agree on Hollands...caught a couple of times but was brilliant, especially early. Disappointing to lose Cerra but Hewett will come straight back in for him next week and maybe Carroll or Binns as the sub.
One of Boyd's quieter games this year but still very effective with ball in hand.
And Charlie might not have kicked a bag but some of his defensive efforts were really good and he worked May right up the ground at times to nullify his influence.
And Pitto...definitely broke even on the night IMO with Gawn. Gawn was one of their better players but not as dominant as he could've been.
Disappointing to only win by a point after kicking the first 6 goals, but Melbourne are a top 4 side, beat Geelong last week....so take it and move one.
