HEY MAGPIE ARMY!
We were lucky that Geelong insisted on playing a half fit Hawkins in round 1. The structure held without Howe for a quarter and a half, but it wasn’t exactly effective, they scored heavily against us. The last two weeks has seen our defence become a lot tighter and a lot of that has been due to having a big man in Frampton take care of the primary key forward allowing Moore and Murphy to intercept and peel off their opponents imo. Not a fan of changing that up just to halve some hitouts that can be sharked anyway.
They didn't score heavily
They kicked with a supernatural level of accuracy that they may never do again, let alone do anytime in the foreseeable future
The Geelong game was a 10-12 goal win disguised as a 4 goal win. Ditto for the Richmond game. A 10 goal win disguised as a 2 goal
The score in the Port game was a more accurate reflection of how that game went and where we actually are across the three games played so far.
