Heeney2Franklin thread title pretty much sums up the game for me; a solid win.
Initially slow out of the blocks, then dominated the first qtr and from thereon in held a comfortable lead and were able to respond when challenged.
Some nice signs from Hayward, looked confident with his first shot at goal (no thoughts of round the corner) and did his usual up and back work efficiently as well and took Luke Ryan out of the game.
Last minute from Heeney with a fine mark and straight through the big sticks was a reminder of him at his best.
Interesting placement of Mills on the wing, pretty much throughout the game, with Gulden moving inside.
We may be trying out a few things, in particular getting a bit more dynamism in the middle.
Still trying to figure how after well over 300 games and at the age of 36 Buddy is marking the ball better than he ever has.
Logan continues to grow as a player. He'll get the best defender when Buddy retires, but I think he is up to the task. His movement is top notch.
And finally a shout out to Luke Parker
. He just keeps on keeping on, another fine leader's performance tonight.
Team as a whole seemed up and about tonight.
Hopefully everyone one pulls up OK. Noticed a few players carrying their boots as they saluted the fans.
Surely can't be coincidental how many soft tissues injuries Freo and West Coast suffer.
Yep, a solid win.
