Thanks for the updates. Quick correction, Collingwood's final score was 63 not 81. I only mention it because I saw your post their score as 63 and suddenly they're 81 and I'm like ****, went full on Essington in the last few minutes.

 

[doug85]

I saw Tsatas had 37 possessions. Did he play well?

He did play well, had 10+ clearances. Still dodgy by foot when he has time and space, but we already know that. Sharp by hand.

 

[Happyskeret]

I thought the midfield group was very cohesive after qtr time. Bryan, Tsatas, Sheil and Setters. I agree with Yoda that Sheil was the stand out. The forwards in Eckersly, Jedwab and co rewarded that dominance from the middle.

Roberts looked good too, he got caught a couple of times but he puts himself in the right spots.

 

[Rick Ross]

Cheers Yoda_ great updates
