Dominated in the middle and overpowered
GWS who got frustrated and Toby Greene helped us out with some old Toby behaviour. Pittonet played a blinder along with TDK showing some forward craft and credit to the defense for holding up despite injuries and some sore bodies.
Cripps and Walsh were the catalysts but two low profile heroes were Cottrell and Boyd who were super effective at opposite ends of the ground.
Impressive win given our injury list and dare I say it that was premiership form..

Boyd, Cotters, Chugga, Cripps, Hewett, Pitto, TDK, Walsh & the twin towers up forward... Take a bow.

As a critic of the 2 ruck thing - googie on face. Tore GWS a new one.

What a third quarter! Reminiscent of the Premiership Qtr of days gone by.
P Cripps 3 Votes, take a bow Big Boy.
S Walsh 2 Votes, half man half machine.

I really thought they'd outclass and overrun us. Thrilled to be proven wrong.

What a character building win against the injury odds. Our cobbled together defence were outstanding once our mids flexed their muscles. Batman and Robin got the machine purring. George was solid, and the Holland's are on the up.

I was super impressed by our versatility. MK, TDK, to name a couple. Big Pitto had his best game.

Amazing how we got back to our clearance game. It seems we're building quite a repertoire of winning elements in our game. Despite the ridiculous amount of injuries. It was entertaining watching the switches between fwd plays. Initially the smalls were leading and scoring, then the big boys. Makes up so much more unpredictable. Love it.

Big shout out to Boyd when ZW went down and Weiters played sore. He's added another string to his bow and is as tough as they come.

Cottrell: I suggest ppl do go to the footy to watch you.

Superb effort.

What play do you think typified our game today?

TDK front and centre crumb. Snapping truly on his right 🤫

So, in the third term leak aliir was off for a substantial period and that's when we did our damage. 

Orazio played his best game in navy.  Might not have troubled the stats sheet but his leadership (constant direction and chatter) as well as work rate (particularly during our surge) was good.  He's probably first cab out when we get motlop back but don't underestimate his value.  He linked up well a couple of times and when we were blazing away he lowered his eyes and hit up targets a couple of times leading to scores.  He's not winning games himself but the usual suspects are going to perform when the Indians like Boyd, fantasia, durdin cotters, acres do the basics well and just keep giving the main events of cripps, McKay, curnow, Walsh, etc the impetus to impose themselves without having to worry about the others.

Also big kudos to voss.  Gws I think kicked 5 in a row in the second term and they made the call to drop curnow back when our defense was all at sea.  He didn't exactly do much but take one steadying mark, but it turned the game into an arm wrestle again and killed thr gws momentum.  We scored the next goal and he went forward again.  It just basically made them second guess what to do and they lost momentum.

Psychologically this was extremely important particularly as he was having a bit of an off day to that point.  A lot of fans around me couldn't work out why he decided to do it, but I thought it's not a bad idea.  It also has the effect of opening up our forward line and pushing a ruck forward and letting Charlie have a gallop.

According to coach Kingsley" its hard being Toby"...sometimes I agree he doesnt get calls go his way due to his previous reputation but he was undisciplined tonight and the incident with Boyd showed he had little duty of care imho and there was another I'm sure I saw with Kemp I think it was where he took a swing at him while contesting the ball falling to the ground.
Good to see both Cowan and Newman looking after Boyd too and letting Toby know he wasnt going to get away with his BS....
Hogan struck Young in the jaw as well and that should be looked at too.....credit to Young when Weitering got his corkie and couldnt run it was Young who got the job on Hogan and shut him down and showed some physicality which has been lacking in his game...
