Finally got to watch the game today and I must say that was the best effort I've seen from the boys in quite some time. They played out the full game, the mistakes were greatly reduced and they contained a strong surge from the North in the 2Q and 3Q, kept their nerve and ran out a convincing win. Confidence booster no doubt.
Much has been posted already but yes I liked Wood game in ruck and Graham, who I am yet to be convinced by, did some very nice things - both should be retained against Freo, although Sandi would be a handful for Wood (as he would be for Warnock come to think of it). Anyhow, I'd roll the dice with those two.
Judd looked very fresh and was excellent along with the old firm of Simmo, Murph and Gibbs (who looks like a new man!). Waite and Hendo also good. In fact I noticed Waite doing a bit of defensive work too which will no doubt please MM and ensure his retention.
Let's see how we go in the west next game first but maybe a few green shoots appearing?
