year of the tiger said:same - didn't look at PRE till after the game - I found it such an absorbing game and was stunned by that first qtr our and ability to follow it up and win the second and then absorb the second half pressure. Despite what the commentators were saying, Freo didn't hold back in the second half either
True. Whats been so evident the last 4 weeks has been the defensive steel. In the 3rd quarters we have pretty much been spanked, but have never let the opposition get a run on. Port dominated the 3rd quarter but we outscored them, Freo dominated the 3rd quarter also and reduced our lead by 14. We've been holding up really well defensively and Dimma and the team need a lot of credit for that. The back 6 have been outstanding the last 4 weeks.
It was interesting what Jack said last week when asked in the rooms after the game last week if that was our game plan. His comment was defensively yes but we didn;t get our offence up and running. Maybe last night was both sides of the coin up and running. If it is and this is how we continue to play the trains only just getting started, and there will be a lot more on the wagon by the end of the year.
