That 2nd qtr was frustrating. We were getting the same number of shots but they kicked goals while we missed easy shots. They did get their's much easier than they should of though. Half way through the 3rd qtr everything changed. Like falling 20pts behind woke  them up. The pressure rating the 2nd half of that 3rd qtr went from 150s during the 2nd qtr to 242, which is brutal.
At half time, 50pts of their 58 were scored from TO. I think we tidied that up, the whole midfield group got on top and the rest is history.

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...
