Lucky enough to get over there for the game and see a 10-goal win for a change. It certainly is a much better perspective of the whole game than you get from just watching it on TV.
The Cripps/Walsh combination would have to be one of the best in the business. The third quarter was just off the charts.
Loved the games from the second tier players again who are playing their roles perfectly.
At the game and certainly noticed the kicking efficiency of Newman, Saad and Boyd coming out of defence. For a day which was a bit wet and slippery at times, they were pinpoint.
McKay certainly gets held and scragged in marking contests and I can only remember one free kick late in the game to him that was paid.
What was noticeable was the poor second efforts from Charlie on a few occasions and one in the last quarter I reckon he was dragged for it. He came back on and kicked a goal from what was about his first real contested mark of the day. He got to plenty of marking contests but just couldn't hang onto it. He still kicked two goals but against an inexperienced backline and with plenty of ball coming in, I was sure he'd have a day out.
Loved Fantasia's game and was right behind that banana kick in the last quarter.
While it was a 10 goal margin, we'd need to be a bit more consistent and on from the start this week against GWS.
