Intensity is building, especially with the tackling up forward. I thought our DNA this year would be built on forward pressure from Billy/Beau/Shooter/Bobby and tonight we saw a glimpse.

Our slingshot worked tonight but I think that was more because of opposition, so be careful on that.

I still think our tackling can be better and it seemed at times the Lions were able to fumble and not be under any pressure.

Frampton and Mihocek bookends tonight standing ovation. Cox low key put in a good one.

Loved his game. Only got outmarked once.

Needed to mark that one on the wing which slipped through his fingers, and get a lot closer with the set shot… but there were good signs.
 
McCreery’s third quarter was massive. Took the game by the scruff of its neck.

Might be overlooked but its worth acknowledging.
The team looked like they were running in quicksand for the first three rounds however tonight we had that zip of the last two years. It was most noticeable in Beau who looked dynamite again.
 
Important win

De Goey looked better, Elliot Mcreery and Hill were huge.

Midfield looked better without Nick Daicos dominating.

Pendles and Macrae were poor, we still need more speed in the midfield.

Frampton was good. Noble does some great things but 1 on 1 he’s exposed often.

Need to dump WHE
