I agree that those VFL players you mentioned all need to play to a high level for us to hold our own and so far they have been terrific. But the triumvirate that I mentioned are holding up very well. It’s a real advantage to have such quality tall defenders outpointing their opposition through either cutting off forward thrusts or killing a contest. It has really struck me just how important they have been in our two finals along with Hartley. That is a very solid defensive unit. I really hope Hartley stays on our list.Im going out on a limb here but the AFL guys you know what your'e going to get. It was our VFL guys that set up the win for us today.
A.Heppel. Hind, Younan, Lazzaro shows a bit, ditto McQueen. Harrison showed something in the clinches.
As an aside, I thought Lazzaro showed a lot. Seems to do the right thing more often than not. Is probably too slight for AFL level in one-on-ones you’d think.
