What an enjoyable game to watch after our pain over the last few years
I was really impressed in the by the way we fought back in the second quarter when the Kangaroos had kicked three goals to draw level and take the momentum... we responded to go in four goals up at half-time.
They kicked another few goals together in the third quarter but once again we responded quickly and kicked away. A great sign for our team's development that we can do more than string a few goals together in one quarter then try and defend that lead for the rest of the match. Very heartening.
There were so many good players today... absolutely brilliant.
I was also impressed with the improved games of Harry O'Brien and Tarkyn Lockyer. Both underperformed last week and Harry was lucky to remain in the side, but wow did they play well today. Lockyer was very good at setting up the play on the wing (often in a pressure situation), finding the player who could then go on in attack. Harry good work ethic was complimented today with accurate disposals, and on a few occasions solid strength to push off an opponent (he is well built in the upper body for a second year player).
The only player I thought struggled today was Travis Cloke.
Anyways... well done to everyone, and to Joffa and the Cheersquad for the great run-thru banner and the gold jacket/sign.
Bring on the Bombers and Carlton!!!
