We were sloppy.
Had we played like that last week, we would've lost.
Happy to get the win, but hardly a win to b ecstatic about.
After last year, I get ecstatic about any win
Yes, we were outscored in the second half . . . by one point! And some very dubious umpiring decisions cost us goals and gifted goals to Brisbane.
I didn't see much of the Brisbane-Hawthorn game but they matched the Hawks for three quarters on the scoreboard. We blew them away in the first quarter. Did Brisbane play that inexplicable "retain possession at all costs" game against Hawthorn?
I thought we were sloppy in the first quarter (how many times did we have kicks smothered?) but improved as the game went on.
Robbo did well as a tagger and can add Gibbs' scalp to that of Mitchell's from last week. It was interesting that Bolton had Gibbs in defence for a while, presumably to get Robbo out of the game.
We missed a few shots, a couple of players were down, Kreuzer's second half absence hurt, but the positives far outweighed the negatives.
