at 14:05.Watching the replay McGovern was almost playing the decoy lead-up game, he made lead after lead that was ignored or the opportunity was missed through hesitation. At least twice he was inside F50 tens of metres clear of his opponent and we held the footy too long to hit him up as an open target,
Now fans who ball watch will say he didn't touch it all night, but in reality he was doing a lot of hard work that was either sacrificial or not being honoured.
The other thing I noticed, between Gov and Hayward they seemed to be waxing about who would draw the opponents, several of Haywards marks are one on one contests because Gov drew the opponents out of the F50 and Hayward benefits.
This weeks MC will be most interesting, because I suspect in the absence of injury Fraser would be starting to think "we don't want too much change", it's a natural consequence of having some recent success.
But on the flipside, you could make a valid argument that it's selection changes bringing some of the benefit, you could even argue it was dropping Hewett for a couple of weeks that was the trigger for our new level of intensity.
Acres come in last week with wares to sell. Ison, Byrne and Young in the weeks prior, something to show.
Too many changes can be bad, not enough can be just as bad.
hope this this NOT another richmond game ,red hot fav etc etc
