Best win of the year. The results have not quite been there this year or last, but I have seen enough to suggest the personnel and game plan is there for us to be successful. Every time we've got it right in a game we've blown the opposition away, including the Hawks last year. As a young team without any stability it's impossible to sustain this, but that comes naturally over time, so I'm pretty happy with where we're at - the only concern is our tall forwards: will Cloke be competitive long enough or will our younger players develop in time?
It was absolutely awesome to see Cloke somewhere near his best. I hope anyone suggesting he doesn't have value in the league or for us was watching that game. So glad we went with our form forwards and dropped Cox who has really given us nothing in his time in the seniors. Kicking the odd goal is of little value if you're not doing all of the little things that someone like Cloke does and Cloke's worst game this year has been better than Cox's best for that reason. Outside of a few goals, Cox has provided very little.
Having Adams and a forward line back really made a difference. Cloke, White, Fasolo, Moore is a major upgrade on Cox, Crocker, Witts etc. And Brodie Grundy
was amazing. Has been in very good form but took it to another level today.
Howe was great, Sinclair good again and the midfielders worked together and smashed their counterparts. Such an encouraging performance all round.
