We certainly look a much better side when Cunningham and Martin are playing.
Boyd and Kemp coming along nicely.
Agreed.
I missed the game live and finally finished watching the replay last night. I thought we played very well, but we were given a lot of freedom by the Hawks, so it's hard to know what to take from the game, other than Hawthorn was at least as shit as we were good.
There was a defensive chain that ended up with a Charlie mark inside 50 and with the camera angle on the TV you could join the dots from CHB, along the near side wing, right through to Charlie. I remember watching and thinking, well, there's no way between CHB and inside 50 that the opponents will leave all that space… wait, hang on, they… yes, they are going to give us all that space and Charlie marks the ball and scored the goal. Sure, we moved the ball quickly and efficiently, but that was a sign that the Hawks were way off it defensively.
Very pleased, though, that we didn't roll over when they played a bit better in the 3rd, and were able to extend the lead in the last quarter.
Definitely a lot to like about the game — some of Cerra's hanbdall's were chef's kiss and he must be a lock for the B&F, surely — anyway, playing Freo away will be a better test for us.
