And of course one of the great moments of the year from Lewis Jetta, he never shirked from having shots, even under the intense scrutiny he found himself...many would of.
Only negative I saw was Malceski, his kicking was atrocious all day, and he avoids a lot of contests.

To be fair to Mal, he had the hard tag on him from one of the Hawks players - perhaps Young or Birchall? - so that even the few possessions he did get thru the centre were under extreme pressure. Might be something he'll need to get used to, but we're fortunate that, unlike the Hawks with Hodge, we have other running HBFs to step up. I thought that was Mattner's and Shaw's best "attacking defender" game for a number of weeks - I thought both those guys were under pressure to keep their place, but they bought themselves some time.

Two forward tags - Lewis on 'Eski and Moss on 'Elly

That would explain it then.
Thanks Liz.

Yes, he did. I noticed it while watching the replay.

So much for that theory!

Who says they have to compete? Jack and Hanners, our answer to Judd and Cousins respectively; a quick, tough, in/out clearance merchant that can really hit you where it hurts in Jack, and a silky, gut-running accumulator with elite endurance that loves sending it inside 50 in Hanners.

I like it.
