Press Conference:
A strong final quarter, in which we kicked 5 goals to the Tigers 2 saw us clinch a very solid win against a tough opponent. Our boys certainly looked a lot more energetic than they did against the Lions, and to a lesser extent the Dockers, so that Bye certainly came at the right time for us. It was one of the best games of the season in my opinion. The skills from both sides were text book, and you really couldn't find any faults from either side, unless you really, really looked for them. Both sides would have been deserving winners in this one, and I am glad it is us that won, showing that we have beaten some absolute quality sides this year. Jack Viney and Mitch Clark were again our two most influential players, and they are going to feature heavily in our best and fairest.
