Re: R8 - Blues vs Saints (Back on the winners list!)

Good effort from the boys. Good resolve and commitment.
Really hotly challenged in the 3rd and weathered it well. Been times in our recent history where that level of challenge would have seen us fold. Be good for the boys confidence to have weathered such intensity.
Our class got us over the line... Gibbs, Yarran, Murphy, Simmo, Menzel... too many for them to cover. Really encouraged by Docherty. Good to see Brock get some form back. Also good to see Everitt show a little mongrel... did a brilliant defensive job. Don't understand the criticisms of Levi... what we saw was continued improvement and if that stays with him he'll kick a bag sooner rather than later - for a big fella he is really agile, and not afraid to crunch packs. Rowe also continues to grow and actually is now surprising a few of us. Couple of really good contests against Riewoldt which he won (and that free kick Riewoldt got was the softest of the night - Chamberlain = pr1ck).
Good to have a win with a few important blokes down - Hendo, Tuohy, Ellard. Daisy was given a defensive role up forward which he did really well but also explained his stats... obviously a strategy to help run him back into form. White was solid but that's about it.
