Good to see Shaw and McGlynn grow back into their roles yesterday - especially Shaw. But in the last quarter Ben took a mark and wanted to hand off and couldn't so went back and kicked the goal - big confidence boost.
Jesse was very good and a bit like Goodes in being hard to match up on no matter where he is on the ground.
I was hoping Tippett was taken off to get us back to working with a spread of goal kickers. If he's at all doubtful he should be rested next week. Imagine if he twanged his hammy in Geelong!
Someone said that the Ranga didn't show any of his speed. How about burning off Dempster for Ben to kick a behind. I had grave doubts about bringing Gary back this season but his legs looked rock solid so go for it. Like Parker back from injury last year - the perfect sub?
I think there's a chance we'll see Goodes back this year but not LRT or Jets. And Sam won't be missed as much as Jesse has definitely stepped up.

At the ground they said 26,500 I thought. It was pretty full.
