With reid, brown, and marley out still, we have a lot to look forward too, down back. :idea:

Must be something up there, surely. On ability it looks like he should be in the team. Might be the club want to make sure he knows he has to work for a game.

Will be handy coming on in the last.
Well done boys!

So far we've done well not allowing too many one on ones between Hawkins and Frost. A concern if the Cats are able to get that happening as I don't think Frost can go with him.

I'd bring Adams in at the start of the third quarter.Dwyer looks injured and isn't doing much.

What a half of footy. Great second quarter.

Good combining. Good pressure & contested ball in that Quarter.

Much improved effort from Luke Ball.

Well done Maxy, Frost is a goer. Even Keefe got better as the quarter went on. Some good contests & play by Young ((which I am pleasantly surprised by)

Great stuff Elliot.

Great stuff Caff, Blair, Tooves & Goldy.

Grundy well done - some good ruck work tonight.

White showing why they recruited him.

Still, it's only a half.

Let's hope we can continue to win the next two quarters.

Missed Young. His run has been extremely important in helping us move the ball effectively. Sprayed a couple of kicks and goes to ground a lot, but his endeavour has been terrific. Got us that goal late by winning a 50-50.

Talk during the coverage that Grundy could be the best 2nd year first ruck we've seen - at least in the last 20 years. Don't think I can remember a better one to be honest, 20 first half hit outs is impressive.

The key tonight will be to not allow Geelong easy use of the ball through the middle. One on one we'll struggle down back if the ball comes in quick. Done it well so far.
Well done boys!
