Thanks for the reports Raydan and Meddy43, interesting comment about Gorringe Raydan, you don't notice that sort of thing so much on the telly.
Kerridge was the obvious stand out from the game, lock him in for round 1.
Gallucci, Jones, Byrne and C Curnow only played the 2nd half.
I don't remember seeing Gorringe, Whiley and maybe a couple of others after half time.
Rowe was beaten a couple of times, but must have taken 4 intercept marks, and thought he played a good game.
Jammo spoiled well, the free against White was a complete joke.
Mitchells goal was due to terrible manning up by Daisy, who I hardly noticed. I was surprised to see he had 20+ touches. I thought Gibbs was quiet too.
Boekhurst had his dancing shoes on, and Everitt worked hard to get on the end of the kick, to mark and goal.
I did see unity, I did see a game plan although not always well executed. We did apply pressure, but thought we were still out done in this area by the Hawks. Too often we didn't take 1st option, and got caught with the ball.
No injuries is a real plus.
Over all, I was happy with what I saw. There is still plenty to work on, but I think, while I doubt we will win the flag this year, we might just be able to surprise a few teams.
