Plowman quiet but looks a quality player. Weit is all class. Docherty had one of his poorer games but was still pretty good. A good sign.
Love Byrne.
Gibbs, Murphy, Kreuzer and Cripps got a bit of the ball. Hopefully use that as a foundation for a better performance next week.
Final positive- let's hope Ross's drop loose blokes behind the ball and use auskick tactics to have a crowd follow the ball contributed to the scrappiness and we straighten up next week.
I only got to watch the first 3/4, but we must have genuinely been watching the different game. I thought Docherty was pure effort and sacrifice all day, might have him among the best on the first 3/4.
Not a great game for skills and finesse, so Murphy and Gibbs get a big tick for never giving up as I call them players who normally don't suit the type of game we had today. An error riddled wrestle across the line.
Kreuzer really got us off to a great start in the ruck, looked up 300% on his first few weeks.
As for next week, not sure EFC have the cattle to try that type of game, I'm expecting a shoot-out and they rely on the skills of the re-treads.
Hopefully we are injury free, noticed Murphy had a bit of a hobble up, heard on the radio Weiters might have an injury late in the game.
