Backs against the wall, line in the sand, facing 3 defeats in a row (to very good opposition).
We found a way to win. That's to be appreciated, respected and applauded. The Go Dees were always going to come back hard after qtr time, premium sides do that.
We owned the game for about 35 minutes, they owned the game for about 35 minutes... the rest was an even arm wrestle.
The effort from Petracca was a once in a season brilliance from one person.
We negated most of their match winners. Kosi, Fritch, Van Rooyen un seen and smashed by our defenders (that's two big scalps in a row for Cinc). Lever was forced to defend all night as opposed to running around unaccountable picking off I50s.
May had his hands full with Charlie who ran him up the ground a few times. When May returned from one sortee chasing Charlie, he was right in front of us and was completely gassed gasping for air. Charlie was laughing at him like a schoolboy.
I love Gawn, he is a monster who just doesn't stop. But FMD you cant touch him, instant free kick when you do and and nothing in return when he does the same.
