I don't want to say it... and I don't really care of the repercussions of reports an fines but if there was a line in sand game - this is it...I mean harrassment, brawls... require this game to be a fight more than football. This teams needs to draw a line in the sand that will not accept bruise free footy
I think ACoS made the backline stand taller, a lot of the performance we saw from Docherty and Simpson came of the back of the lift they got knowing someone's got their back. They had confidence to attack the footy, and confidence to leave their opponent.
It's amazing the difference just one extra experienced player makes!
The whole team benefited from that!
