What a great win under very trying conditions!!
I think that it would be grossly unfair to single out players who may have appeared to be under par because they all worked their butts off.
I do have one criticism though; flat punts are easier to execute than drop punts on days like today.
Among the many positives were Williamson's debut (not bad for pick 61), Docherty starting to get back to last year's form and, with the the rest of the defence, starving the Essendon forwards of opportunities. White, in particular, revelled in the conditions. Of course, the midfield played a big part in our defensive effort and Gibbs, Murphy, Cripps, Curnow, Kreuzer, Wright and others deserve recognition ... as does everyone who took the field today.
Go Blues!
