I was down the city end, level 3 among the majority of pie supporters. Gee they are a bunch of sooks and imbeciles. I never heard so much vitriol from a bunch of supporters directed to their own team. I really enjoyed waving bye to them when they were leaving early. I also made it very clear to them in a loud and booming voice that it was only "side by side" when they were winning.
What stood out from me today was the effort across the board, I thought it was very even. Yes, there were obvious standout as in SPS and Caleb, I'm not going to pot anyone tonight, but I was thrilled with our effort and attack on the ball.
Another thing was our skill level, especially when we were moving the ball across the back line and in the past we would miss our targets and turn it over due to poor execution, this seems to have been tidied up considerably.
Go blues!
Yes our skill level (and confidence in each other) has improved out of sight.
The other thing is it looks like we have a game plan and we stick to it unlike previous years.
Our backline is awesome, I don't think I have been this confident with them since... dare I say it when we had the likes of Deano, Sexton, Christou and the clan roaming the grass.
