I don't think the change in interpretation of the holding the ball had a great impact on the game. We knew what to expect and there were no real surprises with the decisions. Cripps,
Charlie and Walsh played  pretty much in their normal fashion. A couple of times they were pinged for the same things they got away with last week, but we knew that was coming.

Probably the best lesson to come out of the game was to continue to keep playing in the normal  manner, rather than shutting up shop half way through the last quarter.

Strange move from Hinkley imo and I thought Wines contributed well early when not in the ruck but tired when he went in the ruck and that move helped us both in the ruck contests and around the clearances.
Yes, I suspect a few of Hinkley's players are underdone and/or carrying injuries, because I thought the same about some of Hinkley's weirdness and couldn't explain it! It's like they'd work hard to win momentum then just surrender it a moment later.

Almost the AFL equivalent of a game of checkers, not sure it was a great night for either coach, but our players were switched on and supreme.
