What a gutsy win! Tremendous stuff, our leaders were fabulous, our newbies were strong and young Mr Tippett was just immense. Made an interesting comparison with the respective performances of Freo & the Pies who have similar injury lists and newbies.
Our boys looked shattered afterwards - would be nice to be able to "rest" a few, but I guess that depends on who comes back.
Unfortunately, it looks like another wet one this weekend in Melb. If we have 3 wet games in a row, our boys will have pretty heavy legs.
Was that the latest sub anyone has made since the rule came in? From memory it was at the 20min mark of the 4th and after we'd responded with a few goals - understandable timing for a player not 100% prepared for the game, but hardly a run at all for the X man.
Irrespective of what happens from here, he can tell his grandkids that he played AFL for the Mighty Bloods
