Enough said
Francis was good in the ruck today I thought.
Pretty much the improved pressure was the difference. If we can maintain the rage then we are going to be around the finals. Just have to find it more often than not. Would like to see us go harder on the spread. We are still too slow to react when we win the footy. They need to back themselves and roll the dice a bit. The defensive zone is still a work in progress but overall has been better. Blues did their homework by shutting down Sheil. Pies paid the price.
Laverde did not do a lot but one noticeable thing was on the long kick in he was the leading target and at least he made a contest in front rather than it being T Bell lumbering forward and being over run.
Laverde made a heap of unrewarded leads I noticed, but it meant the defender trailing him wasn’t double teaming another contest.
