This game was not like last week. The Hawks threw a pile of pillows at us whereas Essendon threw the kitchen sink. So, we were not tested physically and we were allowed to control the game with possession which we can do as well as any team. It is only when the blowtorch is applied are we found wanting but that didn't happen tonight so it was not an ultimate test in that regard. But, not our problem, the Hawk's didn't bring the heat and we strangled the life out of them.
You take any win against them given our shocking record and I am pleased to get the win. Just would like to see more scoring as we all do. There was a period where we kicked 5 or 6 behinds in a row.....just got to start sticking more of these through and we can finally have our 'complete' victories and not always having to rely of stealy defence every week.
Atu and iQ both looked really slick and I love their run and carry, we need more of this daring play. Cox is such a big problem, still cannot influence contests let alone win them. He's nearly 30 and I just don't think it's going to ever happen, it would have by now. Disappointing.
Best game of his career from young Wills, he was 'almost' Pendles-like in the heat tonight...almost..
Great win Pies, terrible performance Hawks, I expected more of a fight.
RED "BABY" CAVANAUGH: Didn't hear what the bet was.
MONCO: Your life.
