1) Happy with the win.
2) Happy we had twice as many scoring shots.
3) Not happy they had more contested possessions.
4) Not happy with our overuse of the football at times including some ridiculous handball to players under pressure rather than simply kicking the ball upfield.
5) Unhappy we weren't further in front at half time when we had been playing against witches hats for the most part up till then.
6) Happy we won each quarter.
7) Unhappy our defense was so porous.
8) Not that worried by it though because Choco obviously gave his players licence to run free and was convinced (correctly) that we would outscore them.
9) Realistic enough to realise that a ten goal win against Essendon in their current state is the bare minimum.
10) Convinced that a similar stye would see us being destroyed by any one of the top four sides.
11) Hopeful that we won't play that way against them.
12) Pleased to see Pearcey play a decent game and kick some ripper passes to our forwards.
13) Pissed off that Motlop didn't go back and take his kick after a strong lead and brilliant pass from Pearce, opting instead to handball to a surprised Boak.
14) Impressed with Ryder and a couple of other Bombers players.
15) Concerned at the number of times Bombers players slipped through Port tackles.
16) Amused at the Essendon fans boo-a-thon. Sure there were plenty of dubious decisions but they went both ways. To maintain the rage throughout the game was ridiculous.
17) Still smiling at some gorgeous goals by Motlop and some beauties also from Salojet, Gray and Chaplin.
Off topic but here's a prediction:- By the end of the minor round Freo will be rated the best side out of the eight by their supporters and flag contenders for 2009. LOL at the purple pissants.
