The usual suspects stood up again, but gotta love the contributions we're getting from the lesser names who are playing their role.....Kemp, Fogarty, Boyd, Cincotta, Elijah Hollands (close to his best game last night). Kemp makes the odd blunder but really looks to have a lot more confidence to take the game on now.
Elijah Hollands might prove to be a bit like the Acres trade for us.
Probably TDK's best game too...up there with the 3 goal burst against GWS. He doesn't seem to be as worried about the big ruckman opponents...just jumps over them. Then he's almost Kruezer like when the ball hits the ground in the centre square...very good below his knees.
We seemed to have the better of them for most of the night and thoroughly deserved that win. For the most part the new holding the ball interpretation worked okay, except when Port got tackled with it! Horne Francis is a great player but very good at ducking into tackles and winning kicks when I thought that was your prior?
As for Cripps...what else can be said that hasn't already? If he keeps this up, he'll be right there when the votes are being counted in the last round.
Assuming no injuries out of last night, it's possible we go into next week's game with an unchanged lineup again? If either of Motlop or Marchbank have solid games in the VFL this weekend, that's the only change I can see happening.
