I tell you what made the difference, they gave that stupid boundary hugging crap the ar5eholla. Let Murphy, Gibbs and Yarran actually play some football and went through the middle of the ground!
It was quite noticeable that none of the players were comfortable nor capable of hugging the boundary line but once they went down the corridor they looked like a team possessed.
The play was fluid, it was co-ordinated and they all ran for each other, and I'm pretty sure that was Ratten's style too.
They have done this 3 or 4 times this season, when they get off the negative football leash they improve 300%.
Either that or they are slow learners!
MMs old style game plan is like a boat anchor, he has improved the players defensive work rate but his negative game plan holds them back more than it helps them!
No doubt...both he and Gibbs were challenged by the coach and delivered. Murphy looked better down forward and his finishing was important.
Credit also to Yarran who played very well and his work was very classy at times....
Credit must go to Malthouse who really put the onus on the leaders and even Duigan I thought was a valuable player...
Big question is can this same group of players who won the game for us tonight led by Murphy deliver again next week....
Credit to Malthouse!!!!
Did you see him in the coaches box during the 3rd, he had given up!!!

You can credit MM for the first 3 quarters, not the last!
Yes, Murph took a big step forward in the leadership stakes tonight.
It looks like he'll have to reschedule his knee op again.....
Who dropped out for Duigan?
Casboult.
Sorry mate, but it couldn't have been Casboult. Casboult had 6 possessions and 1 point. Was he subbed off? Or was Menzel. Statistically he was the least for us.
Duigan the shepherd king was subbed on for Casboult, Duigan was emergency for Scotland.
bit of fun. Yes umps not the reason we are behind.
