I have been banging on about the back six and how settled they are and how for me, thats a big part of the way we are playing and where we are right now. But can I add how ruthless we are when the other nob turn it over. We are feral at making them pay ATM. The speed at which we get the ball, move it fwd and more often than not get it to a bloke that has escaped out the back is exciting to watch. Lamb, Wright and Sumner have been great additions with their ability to sneak out the back.

It seemed to me that Casboult's run up to take marks was being jeopardized. By the time he flew he was invariably out of balance. I wonder if this is s strategy opponents have worked out!
Of course he scares the to death and because of this focus on Levi there are opportunities for Walker and Gorringe.
If there is a strategy employed against the 'foremost contested Marker' as he is called, the brain thrust wiwll need to offer a counter strategy.
I liked that bit of mongrel when he tit for tat against Robinson - though it be too crude.
I love the way Levi hits the packs. It helps if the brave carry buises!

I would like to put a word in for Gibbs.
Gibbs was in the thick of it - alwyas one of the two or three Blues who laid a tackle. Great commitment.
When the Ball was loose and scrambled for, Gibbs was in there and his flicks and hits made opportunties for others.
Gibbs made a great contribution and it went on all day. Just that some days even for an immensely talented guy like Gibbs, it does not turn out to be pretty.

I was at the game and you could tell the boys were flat - so I'm thrilled with the win.
They played a blinder last week and I wouldn't have been surprised if they were overrun yesterday but they weren't and we still won by over 6 goals.
Very happy blue here O0

Special mention to Mitch Robinson today.
His blind hack kicks to a position that no one is in worked in our favour this time.
He is a very frustrating player to have on your team and I noticed on more than one occasion that we let him have the ball but applied pressure to him resulting in an errant turnover.

We've had more of the pearls already than all of last year. Couldn't be happier ;D ;D ;D
