First chance I've had to sit down in front of the machine and I find I do have a few cents worth to deliver.
[1] This was the largest winning margin we have had for years. It was not a great winning margin, but it wasn't a few points either. In the circumstances it was good enough.
[2] I was very pleased we won when we got so convincingly thrashed in the ruck. Kreuzer did a good job in the first half in keeping Martin and West under control, but we won few taps and even fewer to advantage. The centre square was a disaster, but we did better around the ground.
Brisbane had more than double our tap outs.
After half time, without Kreuzer, we struggled and they got centre clearances.
Even though we managed so few centre clearances we still managed to win.
I hope Phillips comes through tomorrow OK, we do need to be more competitive in this regard.
[3] Our defence can really stand tall tonight. Top effort from all of them, although Weitering's 14 marks does stand out. Our defence really won the game for us with the drive they managed to provide.
[4] Tom Rockliff: never have I seen 40+ possessions be so ineffective and so non-damaging. I can count the number of really effective possessions he had on one hand. Cripps managed less than 30, but more lethal. Each kick and handball HURT.
