Vossy did seem particularly agitated at times and not his usual well controlled self. Perhaps that contributed to our ruthless demolition of North in circumstances where we normally have backed off a bit ?

David King was impressed with our work:
“We know how tough they are in the middle and we know they’ve got the key forwards. They’ve got all the tools, all the ingredients.
Without the footy is the thing that’s hard to get elite level talent to buy into. They’ve always been good players, quality juniors or whatever.
So to go at 200 [pressure rating] yesterday, they’ve only done that eight times in five years. So that to me shows they don’t just want to beat a poor opposition… they want to crush them without the footy.
That’s a real statement.”
Despite have significantly more of the ball, we smashed North in tackles 76 to 55, and 19 of those tackles were inside 50. We've got to bring that pressure next week.

Did what we had to do and probably should've won by more.
Is it just me, or is Charlie dropping a lot of marks in the first 3 weeks that he would've clunked easily in the past two seasons? Looks to be getting in the right spot and then just having the ball bounce straight out. Luckily he's like a cat when the ball hits the ground.
Harry is absolutely on at the moment....kicking goals but getting the ball all round the ground and marking everything that comes his way. It's an awesome double act to have.
The defence looked so much better with Weitering there. I was one suggesting Marchbank shouldn't come straight back in and nothing changed as the game wore on....not sure if he was on Zuurhar early on but, if he was, it was a terrible match up.
Hewett goes under the radar and is back playing good footy and I thought it was Cerra's best game of the season.
Hopefully Martin and Motlop come back in against Freo and one of Kemp or Young probably comes back in for Marchbank.

Yes, Richmond’s nail biting win over the Swans makes us look even better

So the rebuild is finally done
