Couldn't find a match thread, mods feel free to move/merge.
Well played, comprehensively outplayed us virtually all night. You can say (and the commentators did, a nice change for us) that we had so many young players, so many players out, etc, etc - and listing the names Burgoyne, Bateman, Young, Osborne, Rioli, Bailey, Renouf, Gilham, Murphy, Guerra sounds impressive, but it wasn't why we lost.
Your onballers, and special mention to Hudson were immense. We like to think the Mitchell - Sewell - Lewis/Hodge/Ellis/Shiels/etc trio is amongst the best in the league....well tonight they were (IMO) smashed.
From there, it was a case of men against boys, and the system, skills and speed you showed right over the ground was in direct contrast to the short, momentum-stifling chipping game we played....testament to the pressure you put on not only our ball-carrier, but also those around.
A thoroughly well coached, well-played game - and augers very well for the Doggies in 2010. Hopefully next time we fare a little better.
