88 tackles - almost equaled our club best tackle count of 90

Won the contested ball with 150 contested ball wins.

Very good with workrate over 4 quarters and 1%ers...

In other words the BASICS of professional contact sport.

And in a game where the teams shared the possessions and are of roughly equal talent, attention to the basics often decides the outcome.

Gee, I wonder if the players have worked it out yet?

if bell injured his hand why wasnt he made the sub? was it too late cos they already lodged paperwork?

Bell injured the hand early in the last quarter..

nah i watched replay and remember seeing bell run off holding his arm and changed with judd. cripps would have been already on bench, it was just as dogs kicked a goal and the roar for judd was louder than from dogs fans for the goal

The commentators were talking about the risk of internal injury as the main concern , after seeing the replay.
That doesn't really tally with a broken leg.

Maybe Ed thought he just had a sore calf and wanted to run it out

Yep this is right. Bell came off hurt when Judd first came on.

i guess then it was too late to make bell the sub
