Betts good, but his reflexes are going. Last season no doubt.
Was disappointed with his man the mark efforts.
Couple of times was too slow so had to stay out of zone, so no pressure applied.
Not lazy, he’s been doing this intentionally all year, I guess he thinks he can provide more pressure standing back as it allows him to move and react. He always confirms with the umpire that he’s on the limit of the protected zone.
Clearly a deliberate tactic from Betts. Allows him to move laterally instead of just having to stand there like a @#$%&! statue as his opponent runs around him.
Was at the game and it always felt like we were in it even when we were a few goals down, unlike those games where being 2 goals down feels like it's game over.
Walsh the clear standout and Saad was brilliant with his pace. Loved that SPS showed some toughness, that mark he took in defence was tough as it comes and was almost biblical with everyone strewn about his feet. The defense settled and did a good job intercepting after letting Tipping bloody Woody off the chain early. Liked Owies' game and good to see Eddie finally kick a couple.
Was a shame to have Dow injured after his promising start, along with Gov pinging his hammy in the last. Levi clearly playing under duress, he's marking perhaps 1/3 of the ones he'd normally take.
Essendon* supporters leaving the ground 1/2 way through the last made me happy, although I'd have been happier if the family sat next to us had left too. We were up and down like flower yo-yo's to let them in and out. Seriously, if your kid needs to piss every 2 minutes take them to the goddamned doctor.
