It was another mature victory, built on the back of contested possession dominance (174-136) and ability to apply pressure to the slick Crows ball-users after the first quarter.

Obviously its a brutal game, and there's nothing wrong with that ideal and philosophy.
Maybe Vossy's contested bulls aren't switched on, long enough to win the ball.
Maybe Vossy's contesting bulls are worried out of the contest by opponents ordered to quell the influence of our bulls, and encouraged by the prestige of a scalp.
Not naming names, but we have a few inside mids, outside of .
Last year our brigade of inside bulls were our one wood, and today they are called out as our millstone: go figure.
Lets remind the incumbents, who are letting us down, we give their types away such is our riches in that department ( we give away 1st round picks like SPS, Stocker, Setterfield, and soon Philps and Dow)
How do the contested bulls, like Powell, will their team over the line?
Why aren't our bulls doing what Powell and Anderson do?
We have Cripps, Walsh, Cerra, Kennedy, add Acres and Cincotta with the big bodies.
Hewett adds to that battalion. I'm clueless why, with an abundance of the riches for the contest we have, why this battalion is not in control of the midfield?
I reckon players who play tough inside footy, 80% game time, year after year, will wear out.
I hope Cripps is the exception, but he showed jack of the intent he expressed in the media.
