We're travelling well and playing some great footy. We keep finding ways to win and it seems to be a strength of our team, no matter whos in the 21 that's playing, the opposition, the conditions and whether things are going our way or not we continue to just get the job done.
Yesterdays win made it 10 in a row, it's absolutely vital we keep this form up and continue it when we play finals footy. One important factor that's a reason why we're travelling well is I think Buzza has everybody in our team on the same page, everybody knows what's expected of them and our huge work rate and the ability to win and keep winning contests all game all over the ground is a strength our team also has. Interesting to hear you guys were near full strength, beating you guys on your home deck was a massive boost in confidence. Despite the scoreline (I was surprised in the end that we won by 39 points) yesterdays encounter was pretty hard fought and keeping you guys, who have been a high scroing team this year to only 3 goals for the game was a huge positive for us.
Your B grade umpire did a good job too IMO.
With the A grade, it was disappointing and frustrating to watch. There were passages of play were we looked really good and played some really good footy but as a whole again we just weren't good enough. As Boosh said, it's been a roller coaster ride for sure. HV seemed put their foot down in the last quarter and ran away with it quite easily in the end. Palmer was really good in the middle and Duggan showed his class with a couple of excellent long range goals.
