It's strange the thngs you notice when a team wins but I think that I saw more hard, strong tackles last night than in the rest of the season so far. Perhaps we are turning the corner, even Woey, put on a couple. When we tackle well we play well so lets hope it continues.
 
DAMN RIGHT!

Last night was the best we've played all year, we wen't back to what we did the last two years. The Hard Tackling and Chasing was very nice to see.

Didaks game was awesome, once he got his first Possesion, i knew he was going to have a good match. He Had Ferocity in his Eyes and you could see it in the way he was playing. Great Game mate.

Let me place that in context. Woey put on a couple of important hard tackles, without having his tackle broken. I like Woey but he is prone to letting important tackles get broken. That did not happen on Saturday. Bring on the Weagles.

I've said it all season, Woey has been doing a lot of the hard work for us this season at the bottom of the packs. He has been good for us during our poor start, and Collingwood fans are only starting to recognise his value as we start winning games.

Yes he makes clangers and yes sometimes tackles slip through (partly because he's a bit slow and only manages a fingertip tackle).

But generally he's been excellent.
 
And he had Brady Rawlings running with him nearly all night...close to the best run with player in the comp this year. Excellent job to still have 20 and be creative and hard.
 
hotpie re Woewey i think he did that last year too. The problem is he doesn't risk his body in te air with an oncoming player at times and it looks bad. Did this once right in front of me v carlton a few weeks back. Last year he won plenty of the pack balls but it wasn;t consistent from week to week.

Yeah, that was the only problem I had with him this year, but against the Roos he sat under a high ball on the back flank with Sav bearing down on him and got crunched. That was one of the highlights of the night for me (the fact he did it, not him getting crunched :)).

...........and he had a good year. I agree that he doesnt like getting in the way of a running opponent, but then again who does.
