I thought the last five minutes of the first half were critical. We literally hung in there, and kept ourselves in touch with them. Because we were still in touch at 20 points I thought we were still in it with a chance.
Im hungover as ■■■■ after hitting Brunswick St after that but I am awake now and in some glowing post coital footy bliss. What a glorious weekend we have before us. Go Dons.
One thing I’ve really noticed and enjoyed lately is the extra effort the players are putting in after an error. Couple of weeks ago Redman had a noticeable one, last night early Parish had a bad handball and worked his ■■■ off to make up for it…McGrath also…just something I’ve noticed and absolutely love it.
Hah, I checked WOB’s last post and yes, it was after the Richmond game. Since then we’ve gone 5 wins out of 6 (although the only loss was against WC in Perth, which he probably would have been at). I bet he’s over the moon with our recent form.
I like how Tex raised a nasty elbow to try to hurt Redders halfway through the 1st, … and Reds just turns a hip and broke it for him, … sending him to the bench in complete agony.
Better. West Coast full squibbed it in that game last year. Adelaide aren’t in the same post code as WC but they are the ultimate downhill skiers and got 30 pts up last night. To clamp down on the game, wrestle back momentum, then put them to the sword in the last was legit.
