Weird game, by the end of the 1st Qtr it was the same old same old and we'd lost at the selection table with a lack of run, guys jogging through the midfield behind a division of streaming forward faster opponents.
Then Voss did something what it was we'll never know, we basically stopped panicking and gained some composure, instead of hot hospital passes we sold the dummy, a repeat of the changes in composure we've seen in pre-season. Then in our good fortune in the 2nd half Prestia got injured costing the Ferals a lot of run and reducing their available options.
It's probably a game where our coach needs a vote!

Last night was a lot of firsts, but it was, most of all, the time in in a long time when we haven’t been soft. It was a powerful team performance over a side that has enjoyed the wood over us. No longer.
